All I can think of is Danny Kaye

In complete fairness, he’s only Jack Sparrow in every role from about 2003 onwards. He has a bit more range in his roles before then.

Is there a single person in the Anglophone world that doesn’t know this about the Oompa-Loompas? Also, it’s a half-truth. The first editions of the book had illustrations of the Oompa-Loompas as African pygmies. They are never described as such.

I think that Nate’s tirade at Ted is a sort of Rorschach test for viewers and for the actors themselves. I’ve been fascinated by the ways in which the people involved in the show talk about Nate’s tirade as though it is a moment of honesty from Nate about how he’s really feeling, when the show takes pains throughout…

Counterpoint: the best moment in Kanye’s career is his rap in American Boy.

A League of Their Own has an argument for best baseball move ever made. Top 5 certainly.

Oh my fucking god, Outlander. The fact that both the mother and daughter are like “Yeah, this is fine!” when living in a revolution-era colonies RIGHT BEFORE THE FUCKING WAR is just...just so stupid. It’s almost a parody of itself now.

You do realize that the Cleansing Institute referred to in your article is the American Cleansing Institute who describe themselves on their website as...

I’m blind as a bat without my contacts/glasses, so I definitely wouldn’t want to travel to a time before the invention of lens grinding. I also have a couple of crowns, so I can’t imagine life would be pleasant if one of those happened to fall off. I knew a woman in college who semi-seriously wanted to travel back to…

reading this made me realise that the superhero that Hugh should have played is Superman. It’s obvious he could do the sincere hero bit, but more importantly, he’d be a great Clark Kent.

Handsome, knows how to sing and dance, can probably burst out with the occasional show tune...you may be right.

Hugh Jackman: the perfect man. Discuss. 

Oh come on. I’ve somehow managed to survive into my late ‘60s without contracting any dread skin diseases, and I only wash my towels and washcloths every few weeks. I also put them in with all my other laundry. I use hot water because we have very hard and cold well water here, but would not do so if my water was…

Would be a helluva’ article to read the backstories of how these cars ended up abandoned. Hint, hint.

“WandaVision kind of fell apart near the end,”

Equally well-supported counterpoint: no it didn’t.

Marvel has a Plan but they also know a good thing when they see it. As soon as Taika Waititi came along and showed that Comedy Thor was better than Gloomy Serious Thor, all future versions of Thor had a self-parodic edge (up to and including Party Thor in “What If”). That’s one of the cool extras you get from Disney+:…

I know there are tons of messages of greater importance than what I have on my phone, but the idea of backing up/fretting over my texts has always seemed like a top-to-bottom waste of time and resources and I suspect it’s the same for the overwhelming majority of users. I don’t want to make light of it because I’m…

Could it be that we live in a culture, reinforced by studies like this one, that hammers in the corporatist ideal that people need to KEEP WORKING and BE PRODUCTIVE or else you’re a siphon on society.

You deserve more than one star for bringing up these movies. That was a brief happy time we could see Janeane Garofalo’s face on the giant screen. Uma Thurman snuck in some fine comedy like the dessert eating scene.

You missed the most 90's of the *Cyrano* adaptations:
