Except for good old Alan Ruck. He remains affable and delightful and I’m just so goddamn happy he continues to not only work prolifically, but looks freaking GREAT for his age (the man is 66!).

Brian Cox and Courtney Cox

We’re never going to beat the time during Marathon Man when Dustin Hoffman excitedly told his idol Laurence Olivier about all the work he put into method acting, to which Olivier responded “Why don’t you just act?”

He was great in every role, but the first thing that always comes to mind is the Toys R Me sketch. Intimidating and hilarious is a tough combo to pull off.

““It’s really a cultural clash,” Cox says in an interview with Variety. “I don’t put up with all that American shit. I’m sorry. All that sort of ‘I think, therefore I feel.’ Just do the job. Don’t identify.””

For some reason, this list just showed up on my iPhone. 

1. Avatar and Top Gun never had a chance to win the Oscar for Best Picture, and if you are a pop culture writer who legitimately thought they did, you need to do some serious consideration of how you approach your field. There was no glimmer of hope ever.

This tracks. Parents are literally all immoral monsters.

When does this happen in the game? I don’t remember anything like that.

Truly the most random appearance of Godwin’s Law I’ve ever come across

This one shares something in common with a lot of the “worst Oscar snub ever!” entries, which is that it took many years for Citizen Kane to acquire its present reputation. It’s only with the benefit of hindsight that we can appreciate how groundbreaking and influential Kane was. At the time, nobody was beating the…

Already cringing at all the obvious slap-related bits and gags everyone will feel compelled to do with a wink: Kimmel introducing Guillermo (with the previous 3 hosts?) as ‘slap security’, two presenters going off-script to re-enact their own ‘sure-to-be-viral’ slap bit, a montage of famous slaps in film like Cher in…

I get accused of being a ‘centrist’ or a ‘right-wing apologist’ on here a lot, when really the only thing I’m advocating for is for the left to actually engage with what the right is saying - like, the actual points that they’re making - and learn to dismantle those.

Not to be confused with rape magic realism, a similar but distinct genre.

Yes, after a surprisingly short number of years after abandonment, too. The “Fallout” idea that most buildings will be standing albeit ruined hundreds of years after the apocalypse isn’t very accurate.

Respectfully disagree on Spider-Man 3 and Rocky III. Batman forever ain’t great, but Jones and Carreys hammyness as the villains at least make it entertaining.

Counterpoint-Rocky III is a fantastic movie and frankly, is superior to Rocky IV. You have a much better “villain” in Clubber Lang than Ivan Drago (who’s only reason for existence is because of the Cold War) and it cements the growth in Rocky and Apollo’s relationship from rivals to friends, which lays the groundwork…

I saw this comment before I read the list and didn’t realize it was in response to a mistake. I thought Kieran instead of a Rory was just another reason Roman was more despicable. And I thought, “yeah, good point.”

It makes me happy knowing bigots can’t enjoy a fucking thing anymore.

This show’s production reminds me of Roger Ebert’s line about Kermit the Frog riding a bicycle: I don’t want to know how they did it, I prefer to think it’s just real.
