I say this as someone who saw SW five times Summer of ‘77:
Let’s all remember that ROTJ is a horrendous piece of film making. Terribly plotted, flatly acted, and directed like a TV-movie. It spends 36 minutes getting Han off Tatooine for crying out loud. And it’s the first film in the series to blow up a large, evil,…

This week’s Mandalorian starts streaming today.

Turn on the closed captions and speed up the video?

I learned in those 15 years that Return Of The Jedi is a bad film. Too long, the main heroes rarely say anything meaningful to each other (Luke/Leia sister talk is it, basically), re-hashed ANH beats, and parts of it look like a TV movie. I almost nodded off watching the SE in the theater. It takes the first 36 1/2…

I’m looking for the Daily Show interview he did with Jon Stewart for “My Areas of Expertise” in 2005. It use to be on YouTube a million years ago. Funniest thing ever and now it’s gone down the memory hole!

..........is really hot.

“...given that Pennyworth takes place during the 1960s...”
The time of the show is in the article. How JTR is still around in the mid-60's is the question.

Kim Deal played all the reunion shows from 2004 to 2011 for a total of 345 shows. For comparison, she played 376 shows from 1986 to 1992. I’d say she was the full-time bass player.

People still don’t like the Irish, so it’s cool.

And Molly The Mail Lady from Sesame Street season 3, you young whippersnappers. That’s where I knew her from.

Topher is late to the game. Maplefilm’s excellent all-in-one 247 minute fanedit came out in 2015. Also Jobilt’s Hobbit edit comes in 3 sizes: an extended edit 3h 45m, a theatrical edit 2h 42m, and a “ludicrous” edit at a brisk 2h 10m.
AVClub writers need to do their appropriate nerd due diligence and research this…

As for restoring the film, I’m sure the producers are mocking Disney’s over-reliance on digital filters and grain-removal, hence the “done by hand” thing. It’s worth searching for Disney Blu ray reviews to find out how they’ve hosed quite a few of their releases. “Cinderella” seems to have been botched quite badly.

The last DVD release of WKRP in 2014 from Shout! Factory did have the original music. A few artists still aren’t on there but the vast majority of it is. From a 2014 COS article: “A notable absence is Pink Floyd’s “Dogs”, which was heavily featured in the show’s most popular episode “Turkeys Away”. Other choice songs…

I seem to remember a John Landis article/interview here at AV Club several years ago where the comment section became an epic discussion on Landis’ culpability in the 3 deaths on the set of The Twilight Zone. Good read.
Let’s do that again.

Thanks. I love people’s personal, oddball rock’n’roll stories. Not enough of them get written down.

Ted Cassidy will always be Bigfoot in my heart. No one can take that away from me.
