The theater marquee after the Hex is dropped calls out the Tannhauser Gate, so there's another reference to an android crying.

I never knew I wanted to see a biopic about Richard Deacon (who was a very interesting fellow, despite always playing oafs) starring Fred Melamed until now. Fred would have to shave his beard, though, so I don’t know if he’d be up for that.

I’m fascinated by the school the Toros attend, in that it appears to have no adult faculty whatsoever, and the cheerleaders are pretty much left on their own to run their entire program themselves. Hell, the Clovers don't seem to have any adult supervision, either. Do either of these schools understand that they both…

Adding to the fun with names swirling around this band, the lead singer is named Hillary Scott, which is also the name of a fairly prolific porn star.

Poor Jennifer Love Hewitt. I remember reading an interview with her where she was talking about her hoped-for next project, which was to be based on her “just the most darling idea” of a wedding planner who falls in love with her client. Then it was announced like a week later that the other J.LO (the Jennifer who’d…

Sousa: “I wish I could’ve said some good-byes.”

Just here to geek out over May using Chastity McBryde as a cover name - a nice deep-cut reference to Miller & Sinkiewiecz’s Elektra: Assassin, which was a well that this show previously went to back in season one with Bill Paxton’s John Garrett.

I dunno. The style of panties Emma is wearing in her meeting with Callisto changes from panel to panel. It just completely wrecks the believability of the entire issue.

William Goldman wrote a book on the making of A Bridge Too Far, and in it he has a brief aside about great screenwriting. He singles out the scene where Rocky discovers his locker has been given away - Rocky comes in, works the combination on the lock, it doesn’t open. Without hesitating, he takes off his hat and…

“Chabon and his producing partner (and fellow author) Ayelet Waldman will serve as executive producers and showrunners for the series...”

So it doesn’t sound like The Wind is a straight-up remake of the 1928 Lilian Gish silent classic of the same name, which itself was based on a novel by Victor Sjöström, but it sure sounds like it should sport an “Inspired by...” tag.

Did we really need three (at least) movies titled some variation of “The Way Back” in a single decade?

In 2011, my friend and I had nosebleed seats to see Leonard Cohen and were happy to have them. However, as we entered our section to find our seats, the usher took us aside and instructed us to follow her. She led us down to the eighth row center on the main floor, indicated two empty seats and said “Mr. Cohen would…

It took me years to realize that “Love Vigilantes” by New Order is a ghost story and not a sad tale of a bureaucratic snafu. I had thought that was kind of an odd topic for a song, but figured people had written about dumber things than an incorrect telegram. Then one day the lightbulb finally clicked that the…

The amount of world building that Mantlo and Golden accomplished in the first year of Micronauts is ridiculous. They not only introduced and pretty deftly fleshed out a main team of six distinct characters and a fairly robust cast of allies and opponents, but also sketched out the rules of societies on at least two…

Like Pitt and Tarantino, I was born in 63, and remember how revered Billy Jack was in my grade school. I never actually saw any of the movies when they were current and I’m pretty sure none of my classmates had, either, but you’d better believe we all pretended we had, and the playground brawls between kids pretending…

“her experiences making “about a hundred pictures” (IMDb says 98, but that’s still impressive)”

A newscast I was watching at the gym rendered "white supremacist" as " white sperm assist. "

Having been subjected to a decade’s worth of forced-quirky indie bullshit like Garden State, Juno and Little Miss Sunshine, I noped out of this thing the second the little sister set off on her epic bike ride rescue mission. Which was what, the opening credits? I’ve sometimes pondered if I should go back and give it…

Followed by the admittedly predictable but still hilarious “We can still hear you, Mr. Brown” bit.
