John McGinley was the absolute best thing about Scrubs and I’m delighted to have him as an antagonist for this show’s last season.

all this brendan fraser talk really has me itching to revisit ‘blast from the past’ and the extremely fun airheads.

The first Mummy is the closest we’ve come to replicating the Indiana Jones films, and Fraser is a big reason why his character comes off as charming and romantic rather than an insufferable douchebag.

Let’s say you have 100 people in the same occupation, and one of them decides to make a reality show out of it.

Now playing

Yeah, it’s not like Wheeler Dealers, where Edd China is a genuinely likeable, knowledgeable, professional, and Mike Brewer was just a trash used car salesman cliché.

My uncle is actually a “picker” in this line of work, and if you do it with the right person it’s actually kind of fascinating. He can walk into any antique store or garage sale and tell you the age, manufacturer, and actual value of pretty much every item there.

Ever notice that the cable “education” channels that were touted as a market-driven replacement for PBS like History, Discovery, TLC. etc. have all turned in to homes for crappy reality shows, conspiracy theories and pseudoscience? I guess that pays better than boring old facts and science. 

Here’s what I don’t get. As an Asian myself, why not just come up with a new IP using the same idea instead of riding off the coattails of an already existing character? It does a greater disservice in trying to diversify things. It’s lazy. Create new characters wholesale.

Turns out he went through hell at the hands of Hollywood. It's not just a reappearance, it's a guy who has been through the shit. 

He got blackballed after he spoke out against the president of the Golden Globes, who he claims sexually assaulted him. This was 10 years before #metoo movement and before Hollywood decided that the GG’s were horrible and disgusting. It became quietly known that if you employed him you could forget being part of the

Speaking as a dude who once ran marathons and rowed crew for a Big 10 Team and now looks like if an older, fatter Vin Diesel had a baby with Paul Giamatti... getting old sucks and time is undefeated.

Brendan Fraser has kind of aged into Rodney Dangerfield.

I had to take breaks, but it was worth sitting through. Watching Dave Rubin being a pissbaby because he can’t get people like Caitlin Jenner to come on his stupid show gave me a nice Monday morning boost.

Alex Jones is just like Bill Hicks. If Bill Hicks was stupid, unfunny, gross-looking, capitalist, had an annoying voice, and a believer in stupid non-JFK conspiracy theories.

It was a dozen episodes of Chibnall throwing red herrings who could be the murderer and then settling on a suspect in the finale.

I think the confusion between pacifist and passive nails it — I feel like Chibnall and the writers he hired didn’t really understand much of anything in any depth.

The one thing that he went out of his way to establish 13 as was as a pacifist, but he seemed to be really unclear on the difference between pacifist and passive, leading to multiple episodes where the nominal star of the show just sorta stood there and had the plot happen to her, and the actress playing her just

It is, but there’s a huuuuuuge gap where she should’ve been doing work more worthy of her talents.

Two hugely successful sitcoms that entered syndication isn’t success?

Jane Curtin should’ve had a much stronger career than she has had.
