He comes across as someone intensely invested in his art, but also incredibly personable, I’m not sure I’ve heard someone say a word against him.  

Adama was a Commander and later an Admiral, not Captain.

THE AV CLUB

it was a little odd that the media’s biggest takeaway—particularly in an interview with a great Nic Cage story—was a sort of non-story about what happened (or didn’t happen) with Watson on a movie set almost 10 years ago.

Sad but true. Her voice was just as essential to the show as H. Jon Benjamin and Aisha Tyler.

For what it’s worth, she was my cousin (on her mother’s side), and while I never got to know her well, in the interactions we did have she was always extremely sweet and gracious. I’ll miss her both as a person and as one of the funniest actresses I’ve ever seen.

I’ll take a little bit of solace in knowing she passed at home, instead of in some bar-less hospital…

Well Archers done.  I cannot imagine the series without Walters, it would cease to be.  They won't recast the role, nor should they.  If they were wise, one more season and done.  Sad to see her go, she never failed to put a smile on my face even in the worst of times.

She may not have gotten much of the Archer humor, but she was absolutely terrific delivering her lines as Mallory—a tough-as-nails ex-spy/Parkiest of Park Avenue Upper East Side Karen.

I also love how in the Archer grand prix episode, she informed the maître d’, “This isn’t my first Grand Prix, you know.” That was one…

not an av club article criticizing someone for being tone-deaf after making me scroll past like 2 thousand revenue-sharing amazon ads on their holier than thou websites.

A good post overall, but a minor correction: at least two directors left Marvel over creative differences. Patty Jenkins (it’s really weird that her name keeps popping up here for completely unrelated reasons) was originally hired to direct Thor: The Dark World, but left when she was unsatisfied with the script that…

One of the film that still gets me to this day is The Good Earth, which is set in China and yet all of the lead actors are white actors in yellowface. Actual Chinese people were only used as background extras.

Supposedly, Anna May Wong (considered by many to be the first Chinese-American Hollywood star) was up for the…

Appreciate this extensive timeline!

I would also mention John Carter was based on an Edgar Rice Burrows novel.  Its literally one of the earliest scifi stories.  Also Burrows wrote Tarzan so of course it aged poorly.  I agree with the overall consensus but there is a little more nuance to some of these choices.  Some, key word.

Fuck. No. And Fuck No.

If these even exists, and a few editors on the film have already slapped it down as being false, then given the plot of the movie, this will not be a fun time.

Most likely, it would be trans jokes and imagery that would make Buffalo Bill’s tuck and dance look harmless.

Robin Williams is dead. We…

Thank you. I was hoping someone would point that out. The *whole point* plok t-point that triggers “Civil War” was that nations felt The Avengers were operating without any oversight and quick to cross any international borders without consequence. That was why the Sokovia Accords were drafted - because The Avengers…

He’s talking in reference to the Flag Smashers, saying that their lives got worse when everyone else’s got better. He’s definitely not intended to be speaking about them sympathetically. And white people are often “hurt” by affirmative action/other practices, in that their positions of superiority and higher quality…

Bartleby the Scrivener? Anybody? Not a big Melville crowd here, huh? Well, it’s not an easy read!

I hope he got the bonus situation straightened out.
