This episode was such a mess, it looked like a bunch of high school kids doing a dress rehearsal for a talent show. As far as I know, there is currently a historic number of black performers on SNL, and I think they're all strong in their own ways — but they need decent material. (I'm assuming the writers room is…

So glad we didn't spend an entire season kicking around Terminus. And that by episode 3, we've even dispatched with the loose threads so we can avoid another Governor situation.

I'd actually be a lot more interested in this show if it's focus was "Dark Encyclopedia Brown". ("Encyclopedia Dark"?) Tween Bruce Wayne solves junior mysteries around the neighborhood that gradually lead to bigger mysteries. It's Detective Comics.

This is good. SNL got a lot of deserved shit for not having a black actress and now they've got two. They really need to keep an eye on diversity in order to remain vital — and it's not diversity at the expense of talent. This will allow them to do more.

Not here to let out the tired internet battlecry, "The Simpsons Sucks!"

I finally saw this and it was nowhere near as bad as I expected it to be. Deniro actually seems to be awake for this performance.

Oh, it WAS insufferable. Uniquely charmless, wall-to-wall with grotesques. All the adults are illogical morons. The two children are not much better. The message is… "Boxtrolls are NOT monsters"? "You can be whatever you want to be"? "Adults never listen to children, or each other"? There's this whole social…

I like this show! I'm going to see where it goes. Thanks, ABC.

This was a visually stunning movie. Like most of Stiller's directorial efforts, it has so many elements of a good movie while ultimately falling apart narratively. Adam Scott's character is such a broadly cartoonish asshole — which contrasts with Stiller's portrayal of Mitty which is so much more grounded. There…

Just saw this movie finally and looked up this review. Was not expecting a "Use Your Illusions" reference to close it out. GNR RULEZ!!!

Sounds like Sony's attempt to turn their "Spider-Man" property into its own mini-Marvel-type universe. And they are doing a terrible job.

When I read about the premise and read the scripts, I was a little baffled why Soderbergh chose to direct this. Aside from his movie "King of the Hill" (and maybe "Kafka"), he hasn't really dealt with period pieces. But he really does shoot the show in such a modern way. One day, he shot test footage outside our…

Worked on it in a non-creative capacity. Should be starting on Season 2 in November. It's fascinating to see what it looks like and how it's been translated from the page. The sets are pretty crazy, too. I've walked through the sets but did not expect the way they've been shot. Also, Soderbergh has the best wrap…

You talkin' U2 to me?!

I worked on this and read the first 8 of the 10 scripts. It's fascinating to watch it, though, because I read it as a period piece and he hasn't shot it as a period piece at all. The way the camera moves, the music, even the font of the title all scream MODERN. Looking forward to seeing what happens with everyone…

"…we get an entire episode of two teens deciding they don’t want to have kinky sex (thank God for fae mind reading!) while their parents stare at a lake talking about how sad they are. It’s maddening."

Yeah, that episode of Bob's Burgers struck me, too. I think part of it is that the classic idea of a sit-com involves a resetting of the situation by the end of each episode: our characters are not really richer or poorer. Except in that episode, they DO end up poorer.

Problem with The Talking Dead bit in the season opener: Chris Hardwick would NEVER act that way toward a guest on that show. He's Mr. Nice Guy, to a fault. It comes across as fake and sitcomy. If they'd played it more realistic, it would have been funnier — showed Hardwick not jabbing at Maron directly but maybe…

I've got nothing against female nudity but we're in episode 2 and we've seen Cameron take off shirts A LOT. In episode 2 alone, you could create a montage of just her taking off shirts. It's not exciting. And it's no replacement for a better laid narrative. I'll probably watch episode 3 but the bar has been raised…

I'm not saying this premise isn't a narrative challenge. I'm saying, I don't think it's responding to that challenge effectively.
