I’m not sure I’d call Rick and Morty ‘as mainstream as you can get’. Anything on Adult Swim is a niche interest by definition, and it’s definitely aimed at us nerds. Successful as it is, I would still bet the vast majority of Americans have never heard of it.

‘Overlooked’ by whom? Finney won a Golden Globe, an Emmy and a BAFTA for that performance!

Evidently, a large enough number of people disagree with you for them to keep making them. It turns out that most moviegoers like things they’re familiar with.

Imogen Poots.

I believe ‘bae’ is Korean for ‘idiot’.

As if there weren’t enough reasons to stay off Twitter...

The meat dress makes an excellent choice of object in a game of Twenty Questions.
Sorry about your son.

I think that’s just Dench, she says it at least 10 times a day.

Frankly, none of the words in this article make much sense to me. I have no idea what this is and no desire to find out.

Yeah. I think you could counter the number of cultural icons that *everyone* is familiar with on the fingers of one hand. Like: Superman, Batman, Star Wars and Michael Jackson. Oh, and The Simpsons. Everything else is niche.

Holy shit, I had no idea this was possible! Thanks, I thought I’d lost my old account forever. I just successfully linked it with my new Kinja account, I think.
I have 465 notifications. :)

Martin would like it to be known he is open to offers of work on any and all non-Westeros-related projects.

To be fair, I’ve yet to find a role that James Franco wasn’t miscast in.

Not forgetting Al Gore. Talk about going for the hard target there...

I’d imagine the strongest reaction the show would get from a modern audience is ‘huh, Robert Downey Jr was in something before Iron Man?’.

The only cultural impact the show had that I can think of was that episode of Futurama where the aliens became obsessed with a thinly-disguised ripoff, ‘Single Female Lawyer’. And that itself now looks like an early-2000s time capsule.

This is the first time I’ve heard of it!

I saw Headhunters after starting to watch Game of Thrones, and discovered that foreign movies dubbed into English don’t work so well when you actually know what the actor sounds like speaking English, and it’s nothing like his dub.
The plot was pretty good, though.

I’ve only just started watching it, but I’m enjoying it so far. It’s dumb and cheesy, but it isn’t pretending to be anything else, and not without charm. I can imagine getting tired of tongue-in-cheek ‘exploitation’, but for now the wacky performances and comedy gore are keeping me entertained.

Give it five years, and the networks' unending thirst for content should have taken care of the rest.
