I don’t even have a porch so this entire article is cancelled.

I don’t remember that one. I suppose you could dig it up somewhere but I’ve discovered that reading those old threads is depressing when you look at what the site’s become.

Any reference to dog years should give a nod to one of the best AV Club comments ever.

Yeah, Slater and I are the same age so I definitely meant “fun” with air quotes.

Fun fact, Christian Slater is 13 years older than Nicholson was in Chinatown.

Brian Cox is an international treasure. Here he is teaching Shakespearean acting to a baby.

Yeah they were all so relatable — and those facets you describe were also fluid enough, and became increasingly subtle enough, to make everyone exceptionally realistic. They all grew and changed, but not in the too-linear way that a lot of TV characters do. By the time the end came around it felt like I was losing a…

Me too. I greatly enjoyed watching a lot of these shows, but HACF felt like a personal emotional experience in a way none of the others did.

Halt and Catch Fire still feels under the radar enough that I’m always relieved to see it on best-of lists at all, but yeah it’s definitely in my top 10. Also after the GoT debacle I find myself placing more value on how well a series sticks the landing, and HACF’s final season was a steady upward trajectory that…

I just realized that this excellent British mini-series features both Mr. Darcy and Mr. Rochester. With a bonus Dumbledore.

The reason Roma, Crouching Tiger, et al won Best Picture is because there are no language restrictions in that category — but non-English winners will always be rare because the Oscars are based in a majority-English speaking country, so…

Cool, so I just have to survive another 50 years before I can rewatch all those 70s/80s TV shows that went on classic rock shopping sprees and now can’t afford the music rights for streaming.

I looked him up thinking he might be a nice addition to my hate-fuck spank bank and was sorely disappointed.

I was gonna post the inspiring story of Jane Lynch’s reformed fatty but when I googled it I discovered he’s dead. Have a great day everyone.

My friends had a super fat cat who died young because of the stress his obesity placed on his kidneys. Our time with most pets is so short anyway, why risk making it even shorter? Unless they’re assholes.

Sure.

It was but they’re still going to release it eight more times.

If I knew I was capable of surviving a nuclear war I’d smoke the shit out of all the cigarettes I wanted.

As I get older I will decide I really saw it.
