Knowing some of Mozart's proclivities, it would quickly devolve into a Terrance and Philip-esque exercise in scatological humor. "'Hey, Salieri, smell my finger!"

Our Bax are already against the wall!

Ives got a bad feeling about this….

Gene Kelly- Xanadu. (Though he did some TV stuff after).

But isn't "My Blue Heaven" kind of a sequel?

All the President's Men, The Truman Show, Apollo 13, Field of Dreams. Was going to list The Fugitive but remembered U.S. Marshalls…uggh.

So apparently I have been misinterpreting "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant" wrong all this time. I thought the narrator was talking to another friend about Brenda and Eddy and reminiscing about his high school years. Was I missing something explicitly stated? Is my original understanding still possible? Growing up a…

No, it was a 13-part instructional series on cranberry juice-based cocktails.

I agree that compared to 3,5,6 and both parts of 7, #4 is a bit clunky, but I will say that the maze and cemetary scenes were really well done and given that it was my first exposure to any harry potter stuff, it made me immediately want to read all the books and see all the movies.

it's definitely top 3. I assume you would put Azkaban as number 1… I go with Phoenix as I felt it was a great adaptation of what was my least favorite book.
My ranking would be

Someone upthread already said it… I think Colbert in '06 basically eliminated the possibility of them picking any comedian known for biting political material. John Oliver would absolutely skewer them. I mean just in the last few months he referred to the head of the FCC as a "dingo." Not a chance he's ever invited to…

Dr. Oppenheimer, please we've been here for 3 hours and all you've talked about so far is your missing bicycle!

In real life they did realize that the shotgun design would not work with plutonium, though I don't know if that was because the plutonium wasn't pure enough. They replaced the plutonium in that design with a uranium isotype, either 235 or 238, I don't remember which. The uranium worked and that was the design used in…

Watching Timothy Busfield's Benjamin Franklin stitching his monster together with a big goofy grin on his face was one of the funniest things I've seen in a scripted TV show in a long time. Bravo!

At least in the first few episodes, he's like the DA on Law and Order, always dispensing advice with a a whiskey in his hand.

Yes, I was disappointed AV Club isn't reviewing Manhattan. The pilot was pretty interesting, though it definitely wasn't perfect. Hopefully they retooled the writing for Oppenheimer for subsequent episodes. His conversation with the main character was pretty painful.

Well the show takes place in the "camp" which is the lowest security type of federal prison. If you read Piper Kerman's memoir she discusses the very lax security including the fact that she did work projects outside the prison grounds and could easily have walked away. The reason nobody tries to escape a camp like…

I think someone on TWOP at the time called him Special Agent Milton, or something like that. Really liked that one.

lol, whoops guess I lost track of characters there. Still, why is that guy just hanging out with the hackers?

Speaking of which, does anybody else think one of the fakey-leaks people looks like Tony Hale? The one who went up to Chloe and mumbled something or other.
