Have you ever seen the movie Capricorn One?

Jonathan: Dude, if you don’t make Oppenheimer, I’m going to kick your fucking ass.

 Isla rarely gets to use her “native” accent in films (though she gets to be Aussie in Wolf Like Me). Kind of like how very few people have ever heard Melanie Lynskey’s Kiwi accent outside of interviews. Hell, I didn’t even realise that Rose McIver is a Kiwi too - never seen an interview with her but watched her in…

And I love the fact that two actresses that often get confused for one another are now both playing were-wolf/dog characters focused on motherhood... because that won’t affect them being confused even more.  

What a lovely day in the AVClub when we can get both Isla Fisher AND Amy Adams stories.

The character sort of came together organically, I think- in the earliest episodes he’s only referred to and they weren’t necessarily planning for him to appear on screen. 

Is it better than the movie, which I vaguely remember watching in the 90s?

Yep. It’s only a matter of time before this site goes behind the Paste paywall (Pastewall?) with Jez and Splinter.

“there hasn’t been a new Jaws movie in 37 years.”

“27"

Also the porn star Ron Jeremy, who has been accused of multiple sexual assaults.

Willem Dafoe is already in the cast, so perhaps he’ll pull double duty and be Simmons’ body double for the scene where Berle shows Chevy Chase he's not the biggest dick around. 

I always thought it was hilarious that Berle was a guest on The Muppet Show. I know they weren’t shy at inviting edgy guests like Alice Cooper, but they presented Berle as the beloved “Uncle Miltie”. You just knew the adults watching were thinking of the stories of the size of his member.

...dammit.

How’s the weather out there on Contrarian Island?

Club Lies Bleeding

I read it in a book. I believe this one:

Doomed, Part Two

I consider it a minor miracle that comments have been turned back on, apparently with no other changes (...like a Jezebel-style paywall). Not that that won’t happen, but I’d resigned myself to the A.V. Club’s final curtain call.

Under the article I found comments!  Who are these people?!
