The Magician?

That film drove home the argument that a dancer can’t truly tap into her talent until she stops being such a prude.

For anyone else who was curious: "Christmas is approaching, but it is not the same as the nuclear holocaust has ruined much of the world's evergreen tree population. While cleaning out the chimney, the group finds Santa Claus has visited, but appears depressed. He later reveals to the group that he is suffering…

This is a fantastic analysis, and it also gets at the heart of why I don't see Shelley Duvall's Wendy as misogynistic.

See, I think that "white dudes invent the gay rights movement" really was the movie that Emmerich wanted to make, and it never even occurred to him that there was another story there to tell. Not until the backlash started, anyway.

Considering Cumberbatch can't even play that level of smug without making me wanting to punch him, I think I'll be giving this one a very wide berth.

Except for Chief Wiggum, who managed to juggle utter incompetence and abject corruption like so many juggling balls. Two, I suppose.

All of them were willing adults going through this in the 80s and 90s. I hung out with a pretty square crowd, so mostly, they weren't the ones hooking up; it was just one of those things that was widely known and talked about. (Got to confess your backsliding to the group, after all.)

I used to belong to a gay group with a surprisingly high number of conversion therapy survivors, and they assured me the amount of gay sex that went on was incredible.

The show obviously shares Bob's skepticism about the supernatural, and doesn't prove him wrong, or need to make a big…

Not a Wuthering Heights fan, but Cathy actually would be really interesting for this.

Yeah. I really appreciate the chances they took with the characters and plots in 6 and 7, it just didn't really pay off in the humor department. Still had strong episodes in both seasons, though.

Interesting! I haven't hit Seinfeld yet, although that's probably next on my list. I'll have to report back.

I’ve been revisiting Frasier for the first time since childhood.

To be fair, in Goosebumps, there's a fifty/fifty chance the parents are also ghosts.

When yer alone and life is gettin' you lonely ye can always go—ach!— DOONTOON.

Or they get worse, but it's a gentle slope instead of an exponential curve.

He maybe did what?

The way Paul Giamatti portrayed the baffled, vein-popping rage of a man discovering that the law and society isn't catering to his boner anymore in Amy Schumer's Twelve Angry Men parody is what convinced me he could be a fantastic Scalia.
