The Like-Like enemies from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. God, those things are so disgusting, I can't even watch Youtube vids of dungeons with them in them, much less play them. I've never replayed the game since I was a kid mainly because I fear running into these things. Brrrr.

What a fatphobic article

I think this is pretty much his most universally acclaimed film? Also the only Lynch film to place in 2012's Sight & Sound poll (#28).

I'm always spellbound by the audition scene. I think what Watts pulls off there - giving a performance within the performance that is different from the character she plays and recognized by the other characters as amazing - is one of the trickiest things an actor can pull off, and boy does she do it. Her career never…

I feel like the "solution" is really quite simple at its core (there's two parts to the narrative and a line that clearly divides them), but the film does its best to disguise that. It's part dream/part reality where both parts feel like a dream.

That was basically what happened in that failed spin-off pilot that was produced right after the series and meant for CBS, so good for him that 90s nostalgia has enabled him to follow through with that concept after all, even if it took twenty years.

I'm surprised that going down the pipe in 1-1 actually saves time.

Quite the contrary. The show is still being written by the same staff who was working on it fifteen years ago. There has been hardly any new blood in the writing room since then (whereas in the nineties the show's staff constantly changed and few writers worked on it for more than a few years).

Ahaha, that KFC and Burger King bit is actually in the article and not just a joke of yours like I thought. I choose to believe it's true, too.

It's how "Stephenie" is probably pronounced like "Stephanie", but I'm still saying "Stevie-nee" in my head.

Too bad. You're missing an amazing game.

Groening didn't come from TV, he really couldn't have run the show on his own, which is why Jim Brooks hired Sam Simon to do it in the beginning. And I don't think he developed any ambition to do it later on; he was more comfortable in role where he could consult/veto on stuff.

I'm seeing double! Four Mitches!

Keep your Robert Pollard fluff pieces on StarWipe where they belong.

I'm honestly a bit surprised at that. I visit ClickHole every once in a while and laugh, but I never feel the need to go back there soon.

Finally, the A.V.Club's most beloved installment returns… "Mall Week 2015!"

Gossip's probably the wrong word. Call it "frivolous items"… at least I'm not seeing much stuff there yet that couldn't also been Newswires. It's just that there's a lot more of it, and at the same time.

I mean… celebrity gossip with an "have your cake and eat it too" approach (as in, you get it, but with an ironic distance so it doesn't really count, right?) has always been one one of the pillars of Newswire so I have to side-eye people in here who are acting all above it now. But still, devoting an entire site to it…

Mine is another one from The Simpsons, during the gag credits of one Treehouse of Horror:

That kind of joke only really works when the dialogue still sounds like it could belong in a natural conversation between the characters, which they didn't really pull off here. I love this one from A Star Is Burns, on the other hand:
