Mr. Hawke, I think you are a genuinely gifted actor but this kind of talk is exactly what made so many of your movie characters in the ‘90s unbearable.  

I read somewhere that his work received over 50 Tony nominations for acting alone.  That’s a genuinely astonishing number.  

Yeah, my biggest problem with the “popular film” category (other than the fact that it’s ratings-bait silliness) is that categories for stunt performance or casting or voice-over acting seem to be actual, credible additions.  

The Facebook discussions made me realize what a farce any technology based session is. So you don't understand Facebook but you're going to debate world renowned experts on things like encryption?

Yeah, in a world where Internet access has increasingly become a public utility central to dealing with almost every government agency, company, healthcare provider, educational institution, etc., the fact that well over one hundred million Americans are limited to one choice of Internet provider should be completely…

Jodie Foster’s weird inability to stick with the accent she’s trying to do.  

Prime Video used to have some decent classic movie offerings but they’re increasingly being swallowed up by the individual video subscription channels.  My college students poke fun at me for keeping VHS copies and a working VCR around the department but it’s because a lot of that stuff either never made it to DVD or…

He was fantastic in the deeply creepy thriller Pet. 

I’ve been rewatching Selfie and old interviews with John Cho and all I can think is that we desperately need to find that man a good romantic comedy because my god is he charming.  

I think he was genuinely trying to write a complex female character in Susan Calvin but Asimov wasn't great at characters in general. 

I love the idea of a Tangerine Dream like score for this (but obviously that's pretty whimsical and DC movies sure don't do whimsy even on the rare occasion that they do fun). 

I had expected the witch trial thing to be the plot for next season, since it had been referenced in passing so many times.  I didn’t make the connection to Wicked until she started talking and it made me very happy.  

For a very, very funny show that’s intentionally light on the feels the two big dramatic moments (Josh not being the father / Lavinia breaking down about the sadness of her life) were surprisingly moving. The Mickey Moose funeral had some echoes of Li’l Sebastian’s memorial (and dammit I almost typed Marty Moose…

Yeah, the Josh/Nina stuff really didn’t pay off in a satisfying way (they had a bit of the same problem with the abruptly dropped Josh/Summer thread in the first season) but I thought her fearful interview with Lavinia was very funny.

You really do wonder how Lois survived long enough to meet Superman/Clark in the first place.  Her instinct in every situation seems to be “must do something suicidally dangerous!”

Isn't this just making the subtext of the original Bewitched more explicit? I mean, it's a solid enough idea for a reboot but the "marriage from different cultures" idea was always there.

Trial & Error is such a funny show. Chenoweth seems to be having a ball as her character. Really, I just enjoy the whole cast of characters, which could have been cliches of the fish out of water lawyer, the weird assistant, the hick cop, etc., but have become highly individual and specific.

My college roommate once said “let’s, like, make nothing against the law for a while and see what shit goes down or if we all just live like we should live” while very, very high. It didn’t occur to me to base a horror franchise on it. It did occur to me as exactly the kind of stupid thought which a high college…

I agree that gender representation in mass media is important and complicated. I also agree that the messages in Mulan get a little muddled. However, I also think this was a pretty weak essay, cherry-picking lines and moments and not really acknowledging other possible interpretations of those lines and moments. It…

You articulated my own argument much better than I could. I think the movie undermines or at least muddles its message by having her abandon her new role. And yeah, her going back home is true to the original, but it's not like they felt any compunction to be faithful at any other point.
