I can find nice things to say about even bad or boring seasons of AHS but wow this whole anthology season was a dud. The slightly better ones (Santa vs. the social media bros, the drive-in, maybe the back half of the baby one) might have made OK Tales from the Crypt-style episodes at thirty minutes but they each…

The original basically skates by on how likeable its two leads are. Without that likeability, what's the point? 

The Matrix is a masterpiece of pop filmmaking. Speed Racer is a glorious piece of big screen candy. Everything else they have made is at the very least ambitious and sometimes wondrous. I’m not a big fan of Revolutions but even it is hugely ambitious in terms of filmmaking. I’m excited to see what’s coming.

I got this image of C-3PO hosting Jeopardy, which isn't the worst hosting idea I've heard. ("Would you like to know the odds of you missing the Final Jeopardy round?") Chewie could growl whenever someone's boring get to know me story goes too long. 

Discontinued items, repackaged lines that didn’t sell, sample sizes that aren’t usually labeled as such - brand names are all over the place in Dollar Trees these days.

I admire Winger as an actress but her whole energy in most performances is way too jaded and spiky for that part. Davis was a way better fit and she's great in the movie.

The stories about her clashes with MacLaine during filming Terms of Endearment (in which they are both incredible) are legendary. Which, fine, some people just rub each other the wrong way. But these same dynamics come up over and over with Winger.

Andre Braugher is a magnificent actor, as demonstrated in the one two punch of the first episode's emotional revelation scene and the second episode's Parent Trap farce. My first impulse was that Holt should have been the one to quit the force - have the one who has been fighting bigotry and bureaucracy since the 70s…

I get excited for the rare unusual sport because I am sick of constant gymnastics/volleyball/diving coverage. Canoe slalom was fascinating and a perfect event for television cameras. More of that!

Rewatching it years later, the central problem with LAH really is how they write the kid. He's whiny, he underlines every reference and joke, he drags down the action scenes, and his character doesn't really learn anything (the movie is clearly setting up a "learn to deal with your real problems" thing with the school…

He was boringly competent and wouldn’t need time to settle in. I get it. But they have to know the optics on this are terrible, like Willy Wonka just keeping the factory for himself at the end of the story. Of the celebrity hosts I was pleasantly surprised by Bialik. 

I think Whittaker is very talented and could have been a great Doctor with better and more consistent writing. She had her moments as the Doctor. I can't say I'm sad to see Chibnall go. 

The Muppet Show. I will endlessly watch compilations of Veterinarian’s Hospital sketches and re-watch my favorite song performances (tough choice for favorite but Danny Kaye singing “Inchworm” with the Muppets is a perfect, sweet moment). 

Dog with a Blog somehow ran for almost 70 episodes. (And is for some bizarre reason one of my elderly father's favorite shows, in the regular TV rotation with Barney Miller and MASH.)

Award show rules about limiting the number of nominees by the number of contenders seem so arbitrary. Limiting the nominations to two because there were only nine contenders in Variety Sketch is bizarre when the Daytime Emmys nominated all four of the remaining four daytime soap operas for Outstanding Drama.

I have easily watched Superman and The Omen at least twenty times each. Just expertly crafted movies. 

Betty Gilpin deserves better movie roles. 

Those are all incredibly deserving honorees. 

To be perfectly honest, to me the biggest misfire of the Disney Star Wars era isn’t any of the movies or shows. . . it’s Galaxy’s Edge. Clearly it isn’t a misfire from a financial standpoint. Despite a thousand YouTube videos to the contrary, it seems to have basically worked in selling theme park tickets and…

The FF franchise is probably my biggest pop culture blind spot. I never specifically avoided seeing any of them, I just never have, despite liking some of the actors involved. Frankly, knowing nothing about them makes all of the ridiculous news stories about the franchise (Feuds! Contract clauses about who can get…
