*7 Transformers movies. The one in ‘86 was pretty good (and even featured the narrator of History of the World Part I as the villain). You can skip the rest.

I’m still waiting for the playable NES games. That was one of the coolest features of the original AC, but I’m assuming Nintendo now just views that as an impediment to them never actually making those games available through the Nintendo Online system.

Maybe I’m misinterpreting it, but it sounds less like any sort of formal retirement, and more like “I’m not working on any roles now and I don’t know if I will again.” It might be a functional retirement, but it doesn’t seem like he’s closing the door on appearing in something again if the situation is right.

So I…

Honestly, I’ve known a number of Yale law alumni (my late father was one), and while they certainly were a little pretentious at times, they were mostly pretty non-insufferable. Harvard law, on the other hand....

(And don’t get me started on Princeton undergrads - I went to a public college in the general vicinity, so…

Oh, but that soliloquy! “Hath not a Jabroni eyes? Hath not a Jabroni hands, organs, dimensions, affections, passions?”

Nah, this doesn’t seem especially antisemitic.

On the one hand, it could certainly go in that direction role-wise. On the other hand, he seems like dramatically less of an utter shitweasel than depp, so I hope he does better. It wouldn’t shock me if he ends up in a similar space to Pattison or DiCaprio, working with auteurs to make interesting films to the slight…

Came here to mention this.

I should note - in case we didn’t know, Knives Out pretty obviously proved that Craig knows his way around comedy, and can be very funny (in both blatant and subtle ways) when given the right materials. But aside from one or two jokes like the one you mention, you wouldn’t know that from his Bond films.

I largely agree with this, but for me, Brosnan was my favorite Bond. Connery is still definitive, and Craig does a good enough job, but Brosnan hit the sweet spot - fallible and noticeably human while still being relatively believable as a superspy, and able to balance the dramatic points and dry humor very well. (“If…

I’ll just take a moment one more time to say farewell, Jessie. For those of us who had the pleasure of knowing her personally (albeit, in my case, briefly), she was as special off the screen as on. It’ll be a while until I can bring myself to watch this season of Archer, given how sad it’ll be to see her character go, …

Clearly it didn’t make you think, since a significant part of Silverman’s whole point is that there is a distinction between characters who happen to be Jewish - such as the Dylan (who has largely dissociated himself from Judaism) variants in I’m Not There - and ones whose Jewishness defines their characters, such as…

The names “Ruth,” “Bader,” and “Ginsburg” didn’t give you a clue? Or her accent, or every single photo or video of her ever taken?

[Spoken as someone who is Jewish, looks it, has a very Jewish name, and whose grandmother was nearly a dead ringer for RBG]

I had two very different experiences of the film. The first time I watched it was at home (either alone or with my sister, I don’t recall), and didn’t think it was funny at all. The second time, I got talked into going to a screening at camp with around 100 other people, and I thought it was hilarious. I think it…

Am I the only who thinks that Andy Dick (shitbag though he may be) actually makes more sense for Mugatu as written? Ferrell’s portrayal always struck me as a little odd, but I can absolutely see Dick delivering those same lines and it making more sense within the film’s world. (It helps that it’s pretty much the exact…

Off the top of my head, C3PO and R2 definitely seem like possibilities. Bail Organa, Mon Mothma, and possibly a couple of characters from Rebels seem possible (if not outright likely) as well, and Ahsoka isn’t wholly out of the question depending on the exact time frame.

Unmasked, if memory serves. As both a baseball fan and someone who lost his father to COVID, I was fucking livid about that one.

I mean, much of the Chibnall era was fine, basically - but considering how big the show had gotten under Davies and Moffat, that just didn’t cut it. Some of that can be blamed on Moffat making the show somehow both too navel-gazing and too epic, so a bit of a tonal corrective was needed, but I don’t think Chibnall…

It’s basically the equivalent of gay conversion therapy for autistic people. It teaches us that who we are is wrong (but correctable), and that the “right” way to act is to be more like neurotypical people. Yes, there are some behaviors that should be corrected (namely, those that cause physical harm to themselves or…

No, Pete Townshend isn’t involved.
