In Orphan Black, it’s easy to forget Emmy-winner Tatiana Maslany played all the clones who are often onscreen at the same time, with the actor distinguishing each one’s personality, physicality, and intonation.

I liked Men in Tights when I came out and before I was aware enough to realize how much Brooks just stole jokes from his own previous movies. (The moving mole? Young Frankenstein. The musical number? BOTH YF and History of the World Part I. Etc.)

I tried to be generous. I watched 2 episodes, and then I stopped. I may have chuckled lightly once or twice, but it was mostly deeply cringey. I would much rather have seen a feature length film of Drunk History, which often was very funny, than that mess.

I came to the comments to see if anyone mentioned this. I can only assume it’s this video’s recent appearance that has inspired this article. (Seems too much of a coincidence.)

Back when Fury Road came out, some internet commenter (possibly on this site) introduced the fan theory/headcanon that the Mad Max movies work best when you think of them as post-apocalyptic mythology and legends, not strict history or chronology, especially where it comes to Max himself.

The Slipper and the Rose, for which the Sherman Bros. wrote the songs, is one of my underappreciated favorites. It’s an adaptation of Cinderella, and it’s not perfect, but their songs are all wonderful. I often get them stuck in my head. 

You know what, fuck Glee’s showrunners for consistently ripping off small artist cover arrangements of the pop songs they covered without getting permission or giving them credit. Legally, for the most part, they could get away with it, but ethically, it’s absofuckinglutely a shit thing to do, especially because they…

Eh. This show has been inconsistent at best. S2 is definitely rewatchable, but I had enough issues with S1 that even though I watched it all the way through, I will never revisit that. And the Queen Charlotte season was... fine? It didn’t frustrate me the same way S1 did, but it very much lacked the spark that made S2…

Israel did surprisingly better in the popular vote than I expected given everything, especially after the booing of the Israel jury representative.

I think the way to play it now would be effectively to gaslight the audience. Play the husband as seeming very genuine and loving. Make us understand how women fall prey to gaslighting behavior, which often involves a lot of seeming love and concern on the part of the gaslighter. Make the audience question, “Is he…

that he nuked Shady Sands personally, in a fit of paranoid jealousy after his wife left him for the surface

I mean, the closest the show gets is claiming that some of the jokes used on shows he worked on are disturbingly sexual (e.g. jokes that imply foot fetish and simulated cum shots). Would I describe those as sexually abusive? I can’t honestly say. Definitely inappropriate.

As is also shown by the careers these former child actors have had, especially Radcliffe and Watson, they have the option of showing how their talents can grow and be used well elsewhere.

I can’t cut her out of my life.

This just reinforces my desire to have a version of 2001: A Space Odyssey reissued with Benjamin dubbing the voice of HAL. (Yes, this is inspired by him doing it for a clip that went viral like a decade ago.)

Well since Paste bought this site, don’t expect it to be attached to Kinja for a lot longer.

I just watched it, and up until McGregor shows up, it’s bad, but fun bad. But boy howdy, you aren’t kidding about how unwatchably bad he is. And he drags down everything else in the movie that probably would continue to be at least kind of fun.

Just like there was in S1. The show is usually pretty good, but it’s not perfect and never has been. I just feel like I’ve seen a lot more shitting on this season that I didn’t see on S1, and I think a lot of what’s good and bad about this season is on par with the same from S1. So it does make me question why that…

I can’t help wondering if there is some misogyny in this and a lot of other criticisms of the season. Honestly, it may be my favorite season of the show. 

So I guess this means I should archive the text from my all-time favorite Jez post, “Every Way Jezebel Described Donald Trump During the Presidential Election,” just in case it’s suddenly behind a paywall. https://jezebel.com/every-description-jezebel-used-for-donald-trump-during-1772372244
