Interestingly(?) enough, "break a leg" is only for theatre folk — you don't say that to a dancer, Nancy Kerrigan or not.

Not the US, but they spent significant amounts of time talking about the election throughout the day on Wednesday on CBC Radio One in Toronto.

Jai Courtney's Reese is a travesty, and a much bigger sin than Clarke's Sarah Connor was.

Michael Biehn deserves far more credit for making The Terminator great than he typically receives (I mean, he's barely mentioned in this piece). The special effects of 1984 really aren't up to conveying the future wasteland that Arnold and Reese come from — the task of convincing the viewer that that time is real and…

I don't think you can assume that Lonnie (the father) is still living with the family during the flashback (re The Smiths "anachronism"). It sounded more to me like he'd no-showed on a parental visitation after getting divorced. Anyway, Hazy Shade of Winter (even though it technically didn't play within a scene) was…

I had a similar reaction to you in first run, only I didn't even make it past episode 3 or 4. When Season 2 & 3 reviews turned out so positive, I told myself that I'd get around to revisiting, which I eventually did (I started sometime in season 5, which basically let me binge watch all the way from the beginning). …

In the show, Bran says "What's in the Tower?", and the Raven replies "That's enough for today. We'll visit again another time." So expecting that there is something more to learn in this scene is blindingly obvious even if you've never read the books.

I don't think that's a minority opinion at all, either with critics or with fans (though personally I like the debut the best, probably because Grohl's inscrutable mean-nothing lyrics appeal to me more than his earnest, ham-handed lyrics). Grohl and the Foo Fighters are a little frustrating because it feels like…

I always thought that this space to breathe within episodes, exemplified by the golf subplot, is what Lost "lost" when the much vaunted definite end date was negotiated. At the time, everyone lauded the improved focus the end date gave the show and credited it with the improvement in the 4th and 5th seasons (I'm not…
