Everyone's great in those.

Yeah he's good. He's just kind of ebbed away at me. I loved him in The Office, and he's great in pretty much everything but the Hobbit trilogy is pretty trying, and he says some pretty shitty stuff (rape joke, thinly veiled racism, etc.)

Sherlock is more 'meh' for me. It's got a solid half hour of good material every season (with each season being 4.5 hours long).

Well that's fine then. Linda Cardellini was pretty great in Avengers 2.

Whatever role Martin Freeman got in Cap 3 should have gone to Kristen Schaal, I think that's a pretty obvious and objective truth.

I wish Marvel would give these roles to some more unknowns, rather than the guy who just got finished making the terrible Hobbit Trilogy and has to schedule this in between Sherlock seasons.

Gotcha. Thanks! I was thinking that term only applied to instances like Fight Club where you start off in the middle of something (usually the climax) and then after the credits you just flashback to the events leading to that.

Is it really "in media res" if they don't go back to the time before that afterward? It just seemed to be a normal beginning.

This is a true tragedy.

Simple workaround: Watch TV on your computer.
Suck on that, science!

The book doesn't pull it together either.

Most youtube original content is terrible, yet so many creators on there make a liveable wage blogging. I think this will succeed.

That episode was way off. Streaming and viral success makes so much money now. South Park makes a ton of money off streaming.

Obvious Child was really not that funny. It had a nice progressive message yeah, but I feel like that shielded it from real criticism.

No, it's okay, I didn't know what the reason was til I read that article but that was a couple years ago. So it's all good. I was just citing that article because it talked about the Star Wars thing.

I… no, I'm not. What do you mean?
I do my fair share of Disques snarking, but now I'm honestly trying to recall an article I read two or three years ago.

I can't find a source now, but I know I read an article about why popcorn and other movie snacks are so expensive in theaters and it talked about how the theaters don't get nearly enough of a cut from ticket sales to be profitable from those alone. It said that Star Wars Episode III was the first film to ever do the…

Pretty sure Star Wars Episode III had a 100% first night ratio. Meaning LucasFilms got ALL the ticket sale money opening night (who know what it got scaled back to after that).

Teardrops on the Honda symbol were a great way to end the episode.

He's a cool guy. My friend interviewed him on a red carpet the other night and got him to talk about his nipples for a while: https://www.youtube.com/wat…
