Do I hate Robert Evans? Yes I do. Do I find his documentary captivating? I am guilty, as guilty as his creepy love of Ali MacGraw. Do I wish Julia Phillips had gotten her own absurdly watchable documentary narrated by herself? You. Bet.

I’m beginning to think all that time away at whatever clinic he was in didn’t actually teach Harv about personal responsibility and compassion for others.

We should’ve gotten 500 Days Without Gawker, the one series they could’ve guaranteed would make it to the 500th day.

They still let you ride nonstop on the Cyclone. It’s murder on the back, but we took my kid brother there maybe 4-5 years ago on a weekday and got to ride the thing several times without getting off. A good many of the other rides weren’t yet open so it was probably about this time of year—mid-May. It’s nice to see

One of the benefits of a silent film is that you can talk without losing the story or missing dialog. And a lot of those films offer a chance to discuss social issues still relevant today, or bits of history forgotten in text books.

That’s an interesting way of looking at it. It’s been a while since I read it—for some reason, I remembered it as the story of a woman who had possibly murdered her husband, with the child forcing her, near the end of her life, to reckon with what she’d done. Something about the cakes and the candies and the canary,

It’s not assault if the President does it with a magnifying glass, though.

There’s ample evidence Capote was a dick. Your take-away is a solid one.

This comment rises to a level of comic genius not seen on Kinja since mid 2016.

Some stories are best left untold. In this case, some stories are best left not even beginning to be told.

Beef up the Pence angle and let Streep play Mother.

I love that rather than getting a porn parody of an Oscar-bait movie, we’re destined to get an Oscar-bait movie about a porn parody.

Tommyknockers wasn’t a good ANYthing.

Also as Roberta in World According to Garp. He didn’t overdo—even for the early 198os—the role. I recently rewatched it for the first time in years, expecting it to be cringe-worthy, but Lithgow was solid.

He is a real-life Jimmy McGill.

Shut your mouth.

We’re two years away from a revival of Aspects of Love, I suspect.

He should receive life in prison for Starlight Express.

Yes. Especially after the previous season, which... ALIENS.

Season two remains one of my favorite seasons of TV—up there with the first season of Twin Peaks, even. Season three had some brilliant moments—I loved the episode where Carrie Coons reads the novel about the robot—but wasn’t nearly as strong as the previous two. Kinda glad Hawley’s taking a break on Fargo, as I don’t
