This news makes me happy.

Now this would be a good For Our Consideration topic. I think in the Old Hollywood days, character actors were those people who plied the same schematic in movie after movie; think of Edna May Oliver—one note, but dynamite. From the '70's on, I think a character actor is a not-leading-actor-attractive performer with…

Kinda unfair to the frog, who didn't do anything, isn't it?

You stuffed him and put him up in your cornfield.

You made it seem like such a very rare thing for a queer, female person of color to have name recognition. I listed various groupings of queer, female persons of color that do.

No, that's W.C. Fields. I know it's hard to remember which is which, but…

There are tons of queer writers of color, including essentially every male writer of the Harlem Renaissance. Lots of well-respected, even famous women of color, too: Alice Walker, Gloria Naylor, Ntozake Shange, Maya Angelou Toni Morrison.

Actually that's…exactly what they are.

Have no memory of him in it. Only remember him from Sixteen Candles because after he made it big, they showed a clip of him. I like Cusack, for what it's worth.

Ah, conformity, thy name is AV Club!

Those comments have been made over and over again. Go fuck of, yourself.

Class marks the one time I thought Rob Lowe was cool. The guy went dressed as Jesus to a Halloween party! Talk about transgressive! (For the era, actually, it was.)

The Ernest guy needs to be brought back to life for it, too.

Because Clintons can't ever go away. Ever. I'm waiting for Chelsea to show up on The Surreal Life.

Yet again, the weird defense of fascist, sexist, racist countries by people who consider themselves liberal: "Anyone who complains about it, really doesn't care about it."

I want Stranger in a Strange Land to come true so I can have more sex.

Yeah, there are pockets, pockets I tell you. That's far worse than…you know…entire countries…with government mandates and actual laws to enforce the subjugation of women. Pockets, people! Pockets!

Except about half the people in the comments sections for articles on the series on this very site go on and on about how this is what "powerful white men" are trying to accomplish in the US. So the criticism isn't out of nowhere—that's apparently the mindset of many fans of the book and series.

I like that Chris Pine, who has been getting good reviews for his appearance and who seems to be a generally good, self-mocking guy, gets reduced to "human action figure" because he appeared in a sketch the writer didn't like.

Tons of people like Mel Tillis and movies like The Cannonball Run. Doesn't make it right.
