“what makes That ’70s Show one of the most underrated TV comedies of its time”

Robert Rackstraw is just an alias for Zap Rowsdower.  

Mission: Impossible is a chance for directors to whip out the good set piece ideas they had for their dream Bond movie, with an extremely willing lead actor who can get you the budget you want, and without the Broccolis getting in the way.

Here’s the thing : I don’t go to theaters because of the price... I don’t go because I am not a big fan of the other movie goers. So many times I am in a theater and have to deal with, well, rude and aggressively stupid fellow viewers. The guy next to me opens up his phone to text, the people behind me discuss the…

What’s going on in America right now doesn’t resemble Nazi Germany in the slightest...aside from a leadership which loves dictatorial strongmen, has no regard for international treaties, an economy quickly turning to crap (trade wars don’t develop markets do they!) is belicose to a ridiculous level, socially…

I wish Sarah Silverman loved me :(

Yeah, that’s a pretty poorly executed joke about America Ferrera. And I’m saying it as a fan of your work.

I find myself now wondering if William’s entire MIB arc has been one incredibly long fidelity test. Like, the park now stages the same robot uprising every time they need to test him??? Maybe it’s about how far he goes to determine if he’s reached fidelity point?? They do have his entire profile.

Pretty sure we heard miller too “Monkeys... Wrenches”, or something of the sort.

Was it me or did we hear Miller on the comm when Bobbie was talking to Holden from her drop ship? I’ll have to go back and watch. Also, it pushed the aw comeon button in my head when a troop of MCN marines drop into an alien vessel of some kind and all they are worried about is nabbing Holden. Then in the alien…

Ew. Just...ew.

While the episode had its flaws, this was, for me, easily the most emotionally engaging episode they have done. I thought it was beautiful - a rare episode that can really stand on its own.

Yeah, they just cracked one out of the park both literally and figuratively. This was a good unexpected (sort of expected) use of Ford. I’m glad Anthony Hopkins is still involved in the series albeit judiciously. And the central story. Wow. Reminded me a little of the extended flashback sequence from Crouching Tiger…

Last year episode 6 gave us Maeve in one of the most wrenching moments in WestWorld, her walk through the facility with Felix.

Politics Corner is mostly taking Saturday night off. I have a very brief take on the G7 meeting. Trump agreed to a joint statement from the 7 leaders. He signed it. Then, he revoked his support, hours later, because he was angry Canadian PM Trudeau criticized his tariffs. This is the value his word and signature has.…

A few thoughts:

I wish Sam Bee hadn’t rolled over for this. She had to have known beforehand that calling Ivanka Trump a cunt was gonna blow up in her face, and that a bunch of disingenuous shitheels would be screaming for her head regardless of whether she “apologized.” She should’ve really doubled down on it & devoted all 22…

He’s actually not too bad in the role - acting is the thing he should be doing (after all, it’s where his career began, in the UK); his execrable chat show really does him no favours.

I found it pretty funny. Not a C effort at all. Another decent episode in a return to form season. You’re just being stupid, Erik.

Uhhh... are we watching different shows? This was by far the best episode yet of s5 and the entire Netflix run. I laughed out loud so many times and then laughed some more out of the sheer surprise of genuine mirth. Everything here was hilarious and heartfelt. Micahel and George-Michael under the water having their…
