These recaps don’t work if the author isn’t going to provide any sort of insight. If the reviewer doesn’t see any more than the audience does, then what’s the point (other than to provide a comment space)?

Gina Linetti is not a minor character. Thirsty and Arthur are borderline.

That grandmaesters' meeting makes me feel so glad I left academia.

What would it take to make Lilith Fair relevant again?

All retrospective lists are by definition written in hindsight.

Was going to bring up SLP. Definitely a great De Niro performance. Honestly didn't think he was that great in JB.

Maybe because it didn't have a broad release until 1998. 1997 it had two premiers and a limited US release, but it was definitely a Spring '98 phenomenon.

Yes, Jackie Brown is better than Pulp Fiction. No, it's not De Niro's last great turn. He was at best very good.

Well obviously if they have the technology to be able to set fire to an entire fleet but not burn their own ship down they can totally do all the other things.

Could have been worse. Could have had to watch an over-long scene with a bunch of politicians discussing strategy in a dark room.

Yeah not being a sniveling fatass all the time looks good on him.

So Arya was going one direction and then decided to go in another to meet up with someone who isn't there anymore. How out of character for her.

Yen spent much of his youth in Boston, and his English is impeccable.

Yeah but did you have to hear David Spade's voice in your head while you read it? I don't think so.

Also, NBC is still passing on stuff? Do they really have that luxury?

Oh yes, a fun but unrealistic picture of life at a big-city magazine! I love the idea, but I liked it better twenty years ago when it was called Just Shoot Me!

Pretty much all of them.

No problem with SBN. Used to write for them myself.

Meh. Just not my thing.

I wish I got Jon Bois' whole shtick. I really do. My fellow sports tweeps seem to love it. I just don't get it. I find him annoying and pointless.
