I still have no idea how I ended up in a movie theater on Long Island watching "Jersey Girl" with my cousins. Such a terrible movie. But the scene with the little girl and her father and grandfather performing a scene from Sweeney Todd at an elementary school talent show is amazing. (My cousins, not theater

I remember laughing at the goosestepping as a kid when I saw it in the movie theater, probably because I was uncomfortable and didn't know how to react. My dad gave me a bit of a talking to.

The initial go at an American version only brought over Paul, and proved that Mary is what makes the show. The second try only brought over Mary, and worked much, much better.

Last Five Years doesn't work as a movie, but she is fabulous in it (and gets to sing).

There's something unfortunate about a person who questions the value of vaccines while claiming scientific credentials, as she does.

Not to mention frequent depictions of gender and gender roles that better not translate well to American tv.

Slings & Arrows (I know it's a tv show, not a movie) does the best job of this than anything else I've seen.

Beats me. But a bunch of the actors were bald on this week's Graham Norton.

I bet they wanted him bald while promoting the film.

Les Mis was terrible. I don't need to see one close-up looking up someone's nose, let alone dozens of them.

How about, "Since we have a recurring female character on the show, one of a very few, let's write something for her to do that's not always in service of our two male leads."

If it had the luxury of having as few episodes as Sherlock, I doubt that would be the case.

And even with all that kosher committee content, Holmes and Watson still mangled the pronunciation of "parve."

Hector/Hector's Mom duet!

Bring back Daryl's daughter!

It's a generational thing. At least they aren't boiling veggies to death.

That "white fat" was so repellent to me as a kid. I totally get why it turns people off to salmon.

The book had me bawling.

And always when I've scored a ticket to Shakespeare in the Park, when the only place it's raining torrentially before showtime is over the Delacorte.
