The thing that I find bizarre is that someone thought we needed a "darker" version of Kermit. On that note, at least, the Hensons made the right decision by getting another actor.

I think the solution to this problem is, from here on out, to use quotation marks for what is probably the more anticipated of the two big King adaptations this year: "It." Normally, I italicize, but It doesn't really show up in italics that well, given that it is only two letters long.

That… actually makes a lot of sense.

I thought "oater" only existed in crossword puzzles

Isn't that the movie where the culmination of all human knowledge and experience is to become part of a smartphone? The times we live in…

I always wondered if they would ever use R.L. Stine's name as the answer in the final round of Wheel of Fortune. It would be pretty easy, right?

Looking forward to this one. It was based on a novel that had been filmed by Andrej Wajda as Siberian Lady Macbeth, also worth a watch.

My proposal: A series where Bronn and Lord Varys drive around Westeros in a van, solving mysteries

Seriously, he either made up the story or (deservedly) lost a friend. For some of the reasons stated above (such as the unlikelihood that the menu wouldn't explain the dishes in clear language), I think it's obvious he just made it up

I saw The Journey of Natty Gann just recently (on iTunes—avoid the DVD, it's pan-and-scan) and enjoyed it. Probably one of the last live-action Disney movies of its era before the Mouse House resorted to dumbed-down comedies stuffed with lame humor and pop-culture references. It's a shame Hollywood no longer makes

Someone who worked on this movie must have seen Diva, a fun French thriller from 1981 about a moped-riding teen who gets mixed up with an opera star and some gangsters. Dated, to be sure, but worth a look for anyone who enjoyed Baby Driver.

Oh shit. I meant Amanda Bynes.

I call bullshit. We've seen this before with Ingmar Bergman, Steven Soderbergh, Hillary Duff, Jane Fonda, etc. I know that's an odd assortment, but you get my point.

My love for black olives knows no bounds. So I'm at risk of being unwittingly caught up in a drug ring.

Wait, what would happen is someone actually wanted extra olives?

But really, make sure you see Bound, too.

Never bothered with the sequels. But — I said this earlier today, and I'll say it again— godammit, I liked Speed Racer.

I saw Speed Racer recently, and, God help me, I liked it. Hirsch was a weak center, but the whole thing was strangely exuberant and fun.

Yep. Hannity, Ailes, O'Reilly and all those other conservative bigwigs would just walk all over him.
