The rare pop culture reference from Golden Era Simpsons that's probably even easier for younger viewers to recognize now.

I'm a few days late, but I basically laughed nonstop from the reveal of Amy's character to the very end of the sketch ("WOOOOOORRRRMMS"). It's so horribly, horribly childish, but it goes all-out in a way that's just endless hilarious (the discussion about her character not having pants, the way her character's vagina…

The only conversations without Katniss I can think of are the ones between Snow and PSH talking about how to bring Katniss down. Am I forgetting other ones?

Either way, both scenes illustrate how female-centric films don't have an issue getting far in the reverse-Bechdel test, so a number of movies that fail the actual-Bechdel test shouldn't have much of an excuse.

I definitely agree with what you say about what makes Mako a fascinating character, and I remember being very excited by how fascinating her character was, but by the end that excitement was countered by all of the issues I stated above.

Could I just say that "The Mako Mori test" strikes me as kinda stupid? Not the actual test, which is fascinating, but that it's named after a character from Pacific Rim whose character arc ends halfway through the movie and is still playing second fiddle to the bland-as-fuck white male lead. Oh, and she's still the…

And even more fascinating is how many films that fail the reverse-Bechdel Test still get farther than some that fail the actual test. Frozen and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire both technically fail the reverse-Bechdel Test, but there are at least two men in both movies, and they do have conversations with each other…

I dunno, Star Trek Into Darkness showed that he's a wiz at stripping far better movies of usable bits.

The last time they thought it was ending they whipped out "Holidays of Future Passed," which actually bore a vague but pleasing resemblance to the show of the past. If they were given a whole season to prepare they be able to pull out a few more episodes like that.

When I say "legacy," I guess I mean more a standard routine that needs to be held up in how the show is performed. Todd talked about it in his review of Fallon's first week, and how Fallon's strengths aren't in what supposedly makes The Tonight Show The Tonight Show. Whereas Fallon feels obliged to follow the formula…

Mentioning the McCain incident made me go back and watch some clips from that episode, and it's amazing how genuine he seems in saying that he respects McCain and is worried about the messiness of their campaign, and how straight-up pissed he still gets when they get the live feed of McCain at Katie Couric's show…

Yup. Honestly, Letterman has probably been just as antagonistic towards conservatives on his show as Colbert ever was - just look at how the friendship between him and McCain slowly deteriorated with every appearance the more McCain compromised himself, until he canceled in October 2008 and Letterman spent the entire…

The good thing about this is that The Late Show doesn't really have a "legacy" to uphold the way The Tonight Show does, so that should hopefully give Colbert the freedom to do whatever he wants with the format.

Hey…that's not the wallet inspector…

Yeah, the long pause after Bayer goes "oh" being punctured by Bryant jumping back into the song (DONGS!) was a legit-laugh for me.

Her film career has been lacking, but considering how wonderful Mean Girls was I'd like to see her take more cracks at work behind the scenes, something she wouldn't have time for if she took on a late-night gig.

I also said this when someone suggested Amy Poehler as a late night host, but as cool as Fey would be in the position, she's too talented in the scripted TV/movie world to get stuck behind a desk for many, many years.

"I barely know who Amy Sedaris is, beyond David Sedaris's sister."

Yeah, I watched it on Hulu as I always do, and it played with an "only for mature audiences" warning, which has never happened since I started watching the show on there. The lack of bleeping made that moment all the more perfect, in my mind.

My favorite part of that whole segment was Colbert concluding it all by "donating" the funds to the Redskins' Original Americans Fund, noting that Twitter seems to be fine with it "because I haven’t seen shit about that.” Perfectly executed moment of the real Stephen Colbert expressing what probably pisses him off the…
