I can see it being made as three films. Anything that has three acts it can be made to have nine. But you can't get there by leaving out Tom Bombadil entirely and then mailing in the battle of Helms Deep and along the way losing all of the whimsy and depth and breadth of the first episode. More Galadriel would have…

Nico was way too big a deal, and this show would be crawling with Velvets if she was still in it at all. Devin and Ingrid are just good examples of the types they're examples of.

Southern rock is just country with hippie hair and SoCo. Freebird is utterly unforgivable.

Oh, and there was the dude in the art loft who was having trouble being covered in plaster, so he came out of the game and Devin stripped down to her quim to get in.

I think at that point Richie just doesn't want to give the cops anything they can turn on him. Now he's decided to cooperate and Maury's gabbing is certainly a tool he can use.

I dunno. Call me oversensitive, but I'm starting to get the feeling we shouldn't trust what Richie says he needs…

The Kinks released "Lola" in 1970. Calling someone a cross-dresser (or just a f** (really, AV Club? You have to mod-delay that?)) to dis them or warning them about the girl they're chasing having a dink were a gag trope through the whole decade. It's been so suppressed recently that it's bound to clank now. And Skip…

What hump?

Paul Reubens' Pee Wee Herman and John Houston's Noah Cross.

The first Hobbit segment is actually really good. The second is slack and the third…I wish they'd just remake…

Which word? Wilkommen? Bienvenu? Welcome?

Tim Kazurinski as guru Havnagootiim Vishnuuerheer.

Second season of Bosch coming soon. The first bogged down a little. Hope this one's tighter and doesn't lose the grit.

Everyone in that movie became instantly iconic. Anyone can imitate it, of course, but that's all they're doing.

No. It's Tom Baker. And every other person who's played The Doctor has known that.

Nor another plural of it.

This is why I hate spoilers.

Of course. Absolutely. Soul Makossa was by far the superior jam. Disco destroyed music. Punk saved it, but nobody noticed punk was saving music until after Disco was dead, and that wasn't until Punk was almost gone. Disco was the bruised, charred, dying skin and Punk was the flesh underneath, healing the body.

Oh good. Someone found the rubber-stamp.

I feel you. But that scene wasn't about the fun or the hair. It was about fucking up Kip and Jamie's relationship by letting Phil from Wayne's World be her "hero".
