Anyone else think it would be weird to be on a plane, see Ted Danson sitting there, and notice that he’s watching...Cheers?  

Jules calling Pumpkin “Ringo” is a really nice element of the movie’s final scene and final line that I assume wouldn’t have existed with Depp there so...great.

So, remember when the AV Club decided to stop covering Trump because...enough? Could be that we’re, you know, there.

Seems like that movie falls pretty well in line with Dan Aykroyd’s worldview too, so there ya go.  

I used to live a few blocks from that Market Basket and you know what?  It’s great. It’s affordable, there’s sawdust on the floor for some reason, and I like the vibe as much as I like any grocery store. That is to say it’s much better than the Royals who presumably have NO sawdust on their floors.  I don’t know why…

I think it’s gonna be all about the quality of the movie itself. Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones still sound bad to me, but those movies suck. The Empire Strikes Back is an awkward title, but who cares when the film rocks? And yes, for me it is 1993 and the world is divided into things that suck and rock. 

Time travel thing.  So says the rumors.  

The word on the street is that there’s a time travel element.  Which, you know what, fine.  

I mean, it has to be a good movie.  If the movie sucks, we’ll all hate the title too.  

Am I the only one who thinks Dial of Destiny is just fine?  I mean, it’s no Temple of Doom, but it alliterates nicely and doesn’t feel like four titles crammed together in one.  

It’s just not a matter of opinion. If people like it, good for them, but by any actual evaluation with any standards says that shit is at best an odd misfire with the charm coming from the oddness.  

I can confirm from the perspective of a die hard, lifelong Dylan fan that Christmas In the Heart is mostly unlistenable and shouldn’t be on this list. Must Be Santa and its video are delights, but you don’t need to go further. I do appreciate the reminder that Nick Lowe’s album exists and am listening to it now with…

It’s a mitzvah!  

In response to this article, I became more aware of misogynistic dynamics in the entertainment industry.  I didn’t immediately do a Google image search.  Really, that’s what happened. 

OK, this is my second comment here but a question for Star Trek nerds (not an insult, not a compliment, just a neutral acknowledgement of fact) occurred. In retrospect, now that we know the direction the franchise has taken, do you think the Kelvin timeline movies had a detrimental effect? The uproar when the first…

Guys, life is short.  Particularly for you.  Bury the hatchet or leave it alone.  

You’ve gotta love elevated cheese.  For an earlier example see the original Clash of the Titans in which Shakespearean actors share the screen with ingenious old school Harryhausen effects and make a movie that could have been an utter nothing into pure pleasure.  

Well, I think the public, including me, will have a short memory of this because it’s about book autographs. In my understanding if you’re suing someone, you’re claiming specific damages. If you’re being refunded the money, you can’t really claim damages because you chose to spend a hell of a lot of money on something…

Why? A PR scandal and refunds, as long as they follow through, sound fine to me. I mean, whatever, Dylan and S&S aren’t hurting either. I just can’t imagine being angry about this if you’re not impacted by it.

They did offer full refunds and apologized. Not sure why getting more punitive about it is necessary. If you’re willing and able to pay $600 for a signed book you’re not hurting for money. And f you’re getting your money back and are still willing to pursue a lawsuit over something like this, that just seems petty.
