...the Aquaman movie came out already? Five weeks ago!?

I would guess that a lot of Trump people were aware that American Idiot was about Bush, but they also hate Bush and see Trump as anti-establishment, something Green Day should be in favor of. It’s incredibly deluded either way, but it’s present-day delusion, not 2004 delusion.

Reminds me of yesterday, with the news that Sports Illustrated is laying off its entire staff, when I saw people on Twitter insisting it’s because the swimsuit issue started including trans and plus-sized models. It couldn’t be that print is dying in general, or anything, right?

You’ll pay for thlis!

Sir, this is the Internet. No subtletly is permitted.

You mean, apart from writing four (and directing three) award winning films?

[obligatory complaining about endless franchises]

No offence is intended to the writer of this review, but reading this ridiculous synopsis and seeing the letter grade makes me wish this was the old AV Club and Ignatiy Vishnevetsky had reviewed this thing. He’d have torn it several new orifices.

Nostalgia is a poison, is our point, and there is no cure.

“Men like large breasts? Since when?” - the alien-in-a-skin-suit watching Sweeney’s audition tape

Frink Stallone wants a word.

I wonder how much of the “too tall” prejudice is due to Hollywood’s preference for short guy leading actors.

Somehow, despite scores of Universal Monster movies, dozens of James Bond films, dozens of Conan Doyle and Agatha Christy adaptations (including not fewer than four multi-film “franchises” starring the same lead actors,) four movies each for Super Man and Batman, five Fathers of the Bride, nine Ultramen, five Planets…

Rush is my favorite band and their debut has some underrated bangers...but woof is “In The Mood” one of their worst songs. I have no idea how that track lasted so long in their setlists.

I remember watching Molto Mario and he would always have 3 guests watching him cook. On one episode, he had Michael Stipe there. They didn’t reference him at all. Just Michael Stipe sitting there watching him cook. I think Maggie Gyllenhaal was on another. It was very distracting.

Is there an Arbor Day horror movie? There should be an Arbor Day horror movie.

This is not the first thing that’s been written about how TV (and movies) have changed in structure. It’s more common now for characters to provide exposition about things that have already happened in the episode because they know the audience is half-watching and scrolling. (I say “more common” but that’s vacuously…

That whole take about attention spans is so tired, and also straight up incorrect. For all the freedom to mess with runtimes that streaming supposedly offers, TV runtimes haven’t really changed much; we’re still using the half hour comedy/one hour drama model for the most part. In fact, the whole concept of…

Sounds like she doesn’t score highly enough on the Anytime test to get to the next barrier — I’m guessing they wouldn’t assume “Emma Stone” is THE Emma Stone — but also, yes, there’s no way they’d pick a celeb for the non-celeb show.

John McCain, yes, the last semi-rational Republican (or maybe second to last if think Mittens counts), was on the original (pre-Trebeck) Jeopardy in 1965. That’s gotta count as more famous than Mike Teevee, right? This was before he was a prisoner of war or a politician — he was just a guy then.
