Now I’m imagining that Ava just grabbed the pilot and threw him out the chopper, T-1000 style.

That’s not so much a bell as a cymbal.

IIRC, Marge has been explicitly identified as a Democrat voter.
Mind you, Homer voted for Obama, but by then the show had long since lost any sense of continuity.

If you’re not into kinky stuff it’s probably not for you, but: Ladykiller in a Bind is highly recommended.

Isn’t every movie ‘an event’ in some sense?

Were Aardman really the first animators to do ‘cute, unintelligible little background characters doing silly things’?

It did have a great pastiche of Aliens.

I love how this joke just keeps getting funnier every year.

Scarface had a pretty memorable ending. I forget most of the rest.

I’ve never heard of Lear, but then I’m into comics and not particularly into American sitcoms... I guess I’m missing something important here.

Is she somehow to blame for what her grandfather did? I’d like to think people in Hollywood wouldn’t hold that against her...

I enjoyed Spider-man: Homecoming, but I’m struggling to think of any significant way in which it deviated from the tried-and-tested Marvel formula.

I don’t know if there’s an AV club ‘take’, but I still like Anna Faris. She’s one of those actors who’s invariably the most talented one in anything she’s in, but has never quite got the scripts she deserves.

The source material is a great children’s story and no, neither of the adaptations so far live up to it (though the Gene Wilder version came closer). There’s also a stage musical which got good reviews - that may well be the best version, and is surely the most family-friendly.

True, but the Olympics is an inherently nationalistic event, and always has been. They don’t have all the national costumes and anthems and flags for nothing. It’s never been about celebrating individual talent.

It was always there. The new film is just a revisionist take that makes explicit the violence inherent in rabbit society.

Do they not know now?
I mean, I know who I am. At least I think I do...

You mean, like... every villain in a Batman movie?

Yeah, this is just ‘young woman sings generic songs in a slightly weird way’. It’s nothing like the weirdest thing in pop music, let alone Youtube.

Ivory tower resident here, just visiting to point out that it’s not ‘the hoi polloi’, it’s just ‘hoi polloi’. hoi is Greek for ‘the’. Have a nice day!
