AW HELL NAW.

Young Ones fans!  Who is that little Scottish puppet-thing that cheers the Scumbags on in the clip?  He's amazing!

Fun fact: Sela Ward was 43 and still mighty easy on the eyes when she did the v.o. for Calendar Girl, which one hopes was fun for her.

Plus his real name is JULIAN GREGORY DAY!  That's the kind of super villain name-punning cleverness that Carmen Sandiego could never match.

Glad someone mentioned this.  'Field trip boy' is still a nice little zinger to drop into casual conversation when you need to burn somebody.  Also nice - the show acknowledges the rarity of Lisa's fantasizing with her vaguely stoned refusal to return to reality: "But I'm - I'm so happy here . . ."

They're fact-checking an eight-year-old's imagination now? Good grief.

But that's kind of like how staged theater works, in that you see the different pieces of the larger story and figure out how they're going to be connecting as the characters do.

-I remember being very excited at the reveal that Malloy was Jurassic Park's Sam Neill!  And according to this Random Roles, he was pretty happy about it too: http://www.avclub.com/artic…
-For anyone (like me) who had to google it, "Take that, 'Maynard G. Krebbs!'" is a reference to a Bob Denver character (a beatnik,…

"MAMA MIA!"

AH NO FRIENDLY FIRE, NOT AGAIN!

I love the razor chewing!  I saw Bresson's Pickpocket around the same time I was ploughing through S+A on DVD and the sleight-of-hand magician who consulted on that movie, Kassagi, did some horrifying and delightful tricks involving pulling razors out of his mouth.  Fun times.

Does anyone know the YA books Tim and Raylan were talking about?  One sounded Harry Potter, or Potter-derivative, but I have a niece who would probably get a kick out of Native Americans and invisible forest animal helpers.

Which will make it even more tragic if she goes behind Shelby's back to get in Ava and Boyd's good graces again and they kill her anyway, which I hope doesn't happen but is just miserable enough that I can see it making sense.  Are people taking odds on who is/isn't surviving this season yet?

I love Raymond Barry on this show so much and am so glad with how they're using him this season.  Arlo's physicality is perfect.  He had barely any lines but still radiated this absolutely perfect, sort-of depraved childish menace.  The dude even looks badass when he eats fried french toast sticks.

I saw this a few weeks ago and was utterly entranced.  Barry Lyndon is one of my favorite movies but I get why so many people prefer this for their "Romantic dueling movies with soft-spoken leads you want to see suffer" fix.  There's some surprisingly hot PG sex, the duels don't ever get boring and Keitel does some…

How was your weekend, Miller?  You get any of the sweet stuff?

I like all of those, but he might also have changed to be more familiar to Bruce and Clark.

Kirby Dick is definitely not for everyone and is kind of a provocateur-wise ass but Invisible War got him a lot of points in my book. And Sick is thorough in a way that most might not opt to be and totally committed to getting its subject 'right.'

Thinking about Burns laughing in church makes ME laugh in church.  It's a perfect joke!

I wanna see Louis CK and Judd Apatow get into a serious fight about how one's career is about keeping his daughters OUT of the spotlight, and the other will not stop putting them in front of a camera.
