One result of this whole thing is that I finally will remember which USA-broadcast-two-white-guys-one-of-them-sort-of-unsavory show is Suits and which one is White Collar.

It was definitely weird seeing that and Rocketman in the same season and realizing they were talking about the same actual person.

This seems like one of a small group of movies that were sort of “made for an audience that does not actually exist”. I haven’t seen it so I’m curious: is the first half really made as if it is not a horror movie, and more to the point, has anyone ever accidentally seen it because they thought it was a romcom? My…

“the Forgotten Realms, one of Dungeons & Dragons’ oldest and most-explored settings”

I’m not sure I can take the revelation that Oliver Putnam wrote a song that good.

It didn’t help that some people misspelled it with the circumflex on the first e so that it looked like the French word.

I haven’t seen the TV show, but just reading the summary here it strikes me as interesting/useful that they reuse the names that Cronenberg gave his male twins, Beverley and Elliot, which are rarely-male and usually-but-not-always-male at least in the US.  (As in Will&Grace’s Beverley Leslie, I guess.   Maybe a…

“Going on memory and not actually cataloging”

OK, I checked again, and the one I was thinking of was the early scene where Nandor refuses to be drained into Colin; Lazlo says you’ll do something or other “at your peril”, which he renders “per-EEL”. Before that, he gives us “wonderful” as “hwonderful”, like Stewie Griffin insisting on “Hwil Hweaton”. Just little…

Ah, an excuse to repost this:

There might be more than one!  But let’s see what you come up with.

Yeah, you should not be constantly wondering if Kirk’s about to phaser you.

I’m sorry I can’t remember the specific one I noticed last night, but I’m always amazed at how hard Berry works to very slightly mispronounce words that aren’t even the focus of the sentence.

Yeah, I completely agree that it’s hard to consider them the same person.

The guy looked so much like him I a) knew who he was the instant he appeared on screen and b) I thought there was a fair chance he was actually a descendant — Doohan’s actual son has appeared as Scotty in a fan film series but would be too old himself now for this.

Thank for the opportunity to remark on that word, which I will always insist exists for one reason: so a Star Wars movie didn’t have to include the words “kill all the children”.

Ok, uh, see, as part of the retro-TV of SNW, you’re supposed to watch it as you would a 1960s show, where you were 100% guaranteed that your in-the-opening-credits cast would survive.

My reading of the show’s intention of the whole Spock/Chapel thing is “Oh, in TOS we just thought that Chapel has a huge crush on Spock that he could never ever reciprocate [*subliminal man voice* gay-coded] but, oho, they actually were an item years ago but he crushed his emotions in some Vulcan way we haven’t seen…

Marie. Given last week, but also apparently seen on a display during the Una-on-trial episode.

Right.  Margot Kidder’s Lois wasn’t a new hire.
