3o Rock did their best to keep his memory alive.

Ah, lovely.  Thanks for posting that.

Well done, sir.

Not even from a movie, but I really love Jenna’s death scene in Gossip Girl: “the things I’ve seen ... the Nagano Olympics ... Windows 95 ... the second Clinton Administration ... but I’m 39 now.  Time ... to die.”

Also when Matilda says she hasn’t had sex in a while and Hansel says “what, like eight days?”

No.

I don’t watch him enough to know. But Leslie Jones said something in the NYT profile that just came out about wanting to take over for him—maybe she means sooner rather than later!

I’m about as credulous as the next person when it comes to celebrities and their (what I have to assume is sometimes fake) rapport with each other--if it’s done well, it’s very entertaining--but this interview was weird. The timing was off, Fallon’s sycophantic laughter came a beat too late every time, RDJ’s jokes…

I’ll tell you the most depressing thing I’ve ever seen in a library—my local, busy branch library. All those books you mention are neither in the “YA” section nor the “Fiction” section but under a sign that says “Assignment Reading.” Jesus wept.

By “concur,” do you mean “conquer”?  Not snarking, it took me a couple of reads to get this.

Awww.  That made me nostalgic for the old AVClub.

And complained on Twitter that her hair and makeup team was late (in LA where traffic is impossible).  Punching down is not a great look.

Hopefully it will fade away soon. There can’t be all that many viewers who really want to listen to Gwyneth’s smug lockjaw.

I gotta say, same.  They created a certain vibe, but you only needed to watch one or two and that was enough.

There are literally several other Pythons you could have cited. Why Cleese?  RIP, Graham Chapman.

I cannot watch anything Steven Moffat after Sherlock.  It started out strong if flawed and turned into a complete self-referential fan-service shit show.

I couldn’t get into it narratively at all but I really really appreciate Henry Cavill’s hotness. What is it about hot dark-haired guys in Khaleesi wigs (Orlando Bloom in LOTR as well).

They did a good job departing from the books in The Magicians, I thought. Not least by taking an irritating protagonist and turning him into a far more appealing ensemble member.

I enjoyed it, but I think it suffered from the same problem as Turn Up Charlie (the one where Idris Elba was a DJ/manny)—too much kid stuff to work as a show for adults, but too much adult content to be entirely appropriate for kids the age of its younger cast members.

Would like to give you a star for the title of this review. I’m extremely loyal to the George C. Scott version so will not be watching this one.
