“I was born the same year Toy Story came out”.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of Toy Story, the first feature-length film from Pixar.

They did a similar feature last year leading up to the release of Avengers: Endgame called “The Marvel Moment.”

It was funny,  not Patton’s best special but really funny.  

“One day these alien death ships will just disappear, like a miracle.”

Lack of options for pall bearers may be the most hilariously depressing statement I've ever seen.

The difference there was that guy never made it to becoming President, or even a Senator. Where are all the psychic would-be assassins when you REALLY need them?

This is the movie president that always makes me think of Trump.

Fuck I hate in-browser video player things that don’t have their own volume control.

Fuck me, I understood every single one of these references.

Years ago (Ally McBeal days), I passed Jane Krakowski on the streets of London. I was in a slightly bad mood, but she had an infectious brightness just going down the sidewalk that I got a bit out of my funk, (or maybe I’m just a fame whore, so seeing a famous person did it for me — but not so much that I’d ever stop…

Apologies for the delay between SketcHistory interviews; it took me that long to find my pen.

I read this without paying attention and by the time I got to the bottom was suspecting it was an old article.  Pleasantly surprised to learn it wasn’t.  Nowadays, “old school AV Club” is the highest praise you can give in the comments section.

Similarly I think it was only this year that I learned (on this very website) that “Episode IV: A New Hope” didn’t appear on the version of Star Wars I saw as an 8 year-old in 1977.
