As much as I idolize Jon Stewart(and I like Trevor Noah too), I'd like to see the Kilborn era added to the Daily Show website, so people like me who didn't watch it back then can see what it was like(especially since that's when Colbert got his start).

Especially since that show was resurrected in 2013(fortunately it died again a year later without needing Jon's help).

I always feel like the first few piano notes they play when they come back from commercial to the closing have a touch of "shame it's all over" sadness to them.

Don't forget Rebecca Stevenson.

At one point in the movie you can see the campus of my alma mater, the University of Washington.

Books aren't exactly exceptions to the trend of emphasizing the bigger name even if someone else did more of the work.

It's weird to think that early 2000s nostalgia is coming up soon. I was thinking about this because some people I went to high school with are planning an 11th anniversary reunion(we didn't plan well enough to do it last year). Hate to say it, but I think that era kinda sucked. 9/11 happened literally a week after…

Gentry Lee wrote the sequels, with Clarke contributing ideas.

I've heard Outland described as being like Alien, but the monster is man(It turns out…).

I like the movie, but I think the book it's based on is absolutely brilliant. I think the accusation that it explains too much is unfair; the reason HAL did what he did was already explained in the 2001 novel, and the monolith-builders' motives remain mostly a mystery(unfortunately 3001 spelled them out in really…

That movie was basically Trek's attempt to copy 2001, so I don't see the problem.

Def Leppard's "When the Walls Came Tumbling Down"

I get that reference because I just read the book(I've loved the movie since I was a kid).

My problem with the idea that society is "dumbing down" is that it implies society is dumber than it was in the past. Was there an era when someone like Trump couldn't have gotten this far? Society has always had its fair share of stupidity.

I'm kinda surprised that in the age of TV there haven't been more good-looking presidents or presidential candidates, not that I'm suggesting we make looks the main criterion for picking a president(although it would eliminate Trump and Cruz).

Lucas wasn't trading on his childhood nostalgia when he made Star Wars?

Force Awakens hasn't stopped JJ-bashing?

What exactly is the "poison" of nostalgia that the book pushed? I don't remember the book arguing that things were so much better back in the '80s than they are today. Nostalgia doesn't have to mean ignoring the present. When was this past era when people were so much more mature before our culture became…

You misspelled "yooj."

Ayn Rand didn't love herself enough?
