Such a good line. I may actually use it.

That might not happen until we're all multiracial and have hovercars.
It was probably the most satisfying finale I've seen in years. Enough that I'm not even sad that it's over - I'm actually kind of happy about it all.
(Next Thursday, though…ooof.)
It was Krakowski's genuine feeling and total commitment to the gag that pulled it off. Nothing will say "30 Rock" to me more looking back than that I got emotional over a cheesy showtune, about a fake gag movie, that has no vowels.
Penultimates are always kind of messy. And you're not wrong. But I loved every minute anyway.
At least the fact that there was both Munch AND a snowglobe means that every NBC show ever made is now one single universe.
OH SNAP
…They've all embalmed Negro Leaguers, preserved by a saintly amateur baseball historian and car wash owner who thought they were all unjustly unrecognized. The hickory tree is where Josh Gibson's ghost resides, the branches of which produce Wonderbats. Starring Bill Duke, James Earl Jones, Billy Dee Williams,…
I feel like Miike's weird sense of humor is all over his movies - he clearly loves fucking with the audience (one could argue that Audition is one big, sick joke), and there's a gleeful quality to his movies that is distinct. Even when he's playing it as deadly serious as he can, like in 13 Assassins, there's still…
Imprint counts as torture-porn.
…with a garnish of Golden Agouti Chervil.
For Super Bowl weekend: Jorge Von Salsa and Chico von Guacamole.
Definitely my favorite thing in my new favorite thing.
…and now I just noticed that you ditched your sandworm userpic.
So goddamned mad that I've blown all my chances to see this movie, at least for
the forseeable future. I missed it in theaters (I still remember the
Siskel & Ebert rave), I passed it over in video stores (always thinking, "I'll get to that"), never grabbed it on DVD. And it's right up my alley - it's a crazy, arty,…
@intangible_fancy:disqus In my head-canon, Astrid's as out as Jasika Nicole is; it's just never come up.
BSG was a great deal more thematically ambitious, and had an incredibly rich vein of dramatic possibility and worldbuilding to mine. But there were just so many gaps in the show's character building and failed chances at creating true complexity (and it seemed to get worse and worse as the seasons wore on) that I…
Pyrokinetic biz, actually.
I was joking about the "didn't happen" bit: I learned to accept the nature of multiple timelines and universes at a young age, so I actually hate the argument that narratives are inherently worthless or flawed because they "didn't happen" - it's absurd on every level. Dreams "don't happen", either, yet they've been a…
A couple of cool excerpts from the oral history Noel links to:
J.H. Wyman: I really, really feel like the reason why
our fans are our fans is because they're like-minded people that are
concerned with the same things that I'm concerned with. How do we make
life bearable in the darkest of times? That's why you get…
