This is going to breathe new life into the show. Their weird meta-tension was getting old as they aired it out in the series. One was always trying to be clever, and the other was always trying to be dumb. Solar Opposites is proof who wants to tell hilarious stories, and who thinks that making highly specific…

Good thing it’s a movie, then.

I met him on a set (no, not a porn set; he was cameoing in a movie for a few days). This would have been 15-20 years ago, and he was definitely gross and selfish. Whenever he wasn’t the center of attention, he would just do loud, strange things. I wish I could say, “Oh, this dementia thing explains why he wiped the…

My money’s on her playing Mother. Would definitely add some psychological ickiness to everything.

It’s typically because Batman’s villains are way more interesting than Batman or Bruce Wayne. In The Dark Knight, the Joker only has 33 minutes of screen time, but he steals the show every time. The Batman felt so slow and plodding because Batman just isn’t a strong enough character to carry a whole movie. It was so…

Hank, Janet, and Hope: “Scott, are you SURE you want to go back and raise your daughter through her teenage years?” “Yeah! How hard could it be?” <four months later> “Kang, I will give you ANYTHING to undo this.”

But that’s the thing: they almost always show up to the vote with a hint of bootleather already on their breath. The optics are terrible whether McCarthy gets it or not. They either wasted days trying to prevent the inevitable and prove that they can’t get even the simplest of tasks completed, or they prove that it…

The Twilight Zone - Night of the Meek gets me every time.

At least it’s a black bear.

Gunn should cast Cavill as Jor-El

The Takeout similarly suggested this nonsense for Thanksgiving. I’m militantly adamant that I don’t directly cause anyone else to work on Thanksgiving or Christmas. I frequently have to work those holidays myself, but I make sure in advance that I’m able to feed myself, whether it’s a sad sack dinner or an indulgent…

At this point, I might have a chance at becoming Pope.

A few years ago, I had this minor epiphany that I don’t actually hate Christmas. Christmas and Christmas Eve can be kind of nice! They just aren’t anywhere near nice enough to make up for how miserable November 1 - December 23 are. And the solution always seems to be “MORE Christmas!” I swear, before I’m dead they’ll…

I immediately said, “It’s Atlantis.” And back when the first trailer dropped for Crystal Skull back in the day, I said, “It’s aliens.”

Incidentally, I would love for Aubrey Plaza to play The Joker.

If they do kill him off, it amuses me that the last living original MCU Avengers would be Hulk and Hawkeye, and at that point I’d be rooting for Hawkeye to win that tontine.

Yeah, it’s easy to think of Gunn primarily as irreverent, but it only works because he backs it up with pathos. If anything, he picks the scrappy characters not only because he gets more freedom, but also because he enjoys the challenge of getting you to care about someone you normally wouldn’t care about.

I’m absolutely thrilled too see that Star Trek finally got around to adapting Badger’s script.

I highly doubt they’d give Larry Wilmore another shot after cancelling The Nightly Show, but I really liked what he was doing with that. He had the ability to get palpably frustrated the way that Jon Stewart could during a tough interview, but still had the chops and the jokes to help make the medicine go down.

Showed up to posit that Fibonacci is our own Konami code, but then I keep thinking how terrifying that would be if correct.
