I mean, the single purpose of this is to make sure out first look isn’t a telephoto shot from Pattinson’s coffee break, so it doesn’t have to be all the informative.

A Batman so dark that it can only be “seen” through echolocation? Now that’s meta!

We can cut him some slack there, because I think The Box was in production before Southland Tales. Those two movies combined completely killed Richard Kelly. (I rewatched The Box recently and Marsden is pretty good in a bafflingly made nonsense story that goes nowhere).

I am sad that this show is over, but happy that it ended. Does that make sense?

Russian Doll. Watch it.

Imo, they achieved on perfect twist in the first season. Any attempts to recapture that would’ve likely failed because the audience would be on the lookout, and it would run the risk of just trying to do the same thing over and over again. There were surprises, and the show was oftentimes unpredictable. But there was…

I feel like a huge grumpy spoil sport, but I found the Seth bit hard to even watch. I loved the finale (after a very uneven—for myself—final season) but the endless toasts especially (which apparently is an Amy Poehler thing? OK....) felt like something I think the cast deserves to do for themselves but I... didn’t…

I don’t know, I kinda loved that D’Arcy Carden was wearing Jason’s final gift to Janet. Wearing her heart on her sleeve.

Well, that was insanely and wildly perfect.

In the end, The real Good Place is the Bad Place we made along the way

I’m gonna go with Occam’s Razor and say the answer is “She’s 56"

It’s the natural endpoint of this obsessive bugbear that progressives have with representative casting.  Whitewashing is one thing, but they’ve conflated that with thinking every actor needs to bring an authentic experience to their role, or it’s literally an offense to society.

Cats take up no extra space in a bed - they sleep on your head.

Why is it that no writer at any point was ever willing to just commit to Kylo being a villain? He’s a wretched little rat bastard, he doesn’t need redemption just because his grandad did. Just let him be evil!

This is true automotive journalism. Thanks for sharing your sketchy, unsafe, and arduous wrenching adventures with us once again, David!

Brandon sounds like a true friend. Broken cars are easier to fix than broken friendships, so go easy on him next time! Great story as usual.

It's an episodic show though. It's not designed to be serialised beyond the larger continuity of the arcs. Heavily serialised shows being the norm is a relatively recent development. I get not being a fan of that after serialised TV has become so ubiquitous, but it's not fair to criticise it for something it's…

My vote goes to ‘The In-laws’.

Serpentine, Shelly! Serpentine!

I’ve told this story many time, probably even once or twice on this site, but it’s a favorite memory, so I have no shame about trotting it out again whenever it’s warranted...
