Obligatory Canadian comment that Orphan Black is Canadian. Now that that’s out of the way: I think this show is a delight! I do not take issue with the character design whatsoever. The point Jen makes over and over again that women can’t really hulk out and have to learn to manage their rage lest they’re seen as…

Lol why did you have to get weird about it? Why does every sequel trilogy hater have to turn every non-Star Wars-related topic into about how much they think the SW sequel trilogy/The Rise of Skywalker sucked? It’s pathological.

Nah, find a cop car that has had the door left open and see if you can plug it in there.

This reminds me of a court case from maybe 20 years ago, when GPS was still pretty novel. A rental company offered GPS in their cars as a feature. Somebody rented a car from them, and a while after returning the car, they got billed like $200 for speeding in their rental, which was the real reason for GPS being in the…

One day I want us all to look back and realize Vin Diesel was right.

John Wayne was a chickenshit, red-baiting asshole. Of course he would try to attack someone he had about 100 pounds on.

Do you think the crowd/academy would have felt free to be so awful if Brando had been physically present? I wonder. I understand his reason for not going, but boy did they illustrate the point literally in fine fashion.

Steve Martin dated Anne Heche for a couple of years and then she got together with Ellen DeGeneres. Martin not so graciously included a character in Bowfinger based on Heche, who is promiscuous and desperate for stardom, and ends up with a barely veiled DeGeneres stand-in. This character is hard to watch knowing how…

GTFO with this garbage.  SMH.

This happens all the time. Writers add this stupid dialog for the audience. I call it “techsplaining”

I haven’t seen it mentioned in these articles, so I don’t know how well known it is, but, after Heche’s father died of HIV/AIDS in 1983, her mother became a Christian activist, insisting he “died of homosexuality.” She even wrote a memoir about Anne coming out.

Something to remember: when Heche had a public relationship with Ellen DeGeneres around 97, it all but killed her career. The story I heard was that Harrison Ford personally intervened on her behalf to get her the part in Six Days, Seven Nights, because the studio didn’t want to cast her.

The MCU let Vision hold it as a joke!

You know, Oscar Isaac is one of the actors who says this and I actually believe him. After the shit he’s been through with Star Wars and X-men, I don’t know that there’s enough money out there for him to take the job again if it just feels like it’s going to be miserable and humiliating. 

Can’t follow you on that one.  SG should be younger than virtually any star anyone is set to fancast.  Would prefer a brand new person out of nowhere like we got with Iman Vellani.  Casting young versions of people, sure!  Baby Kristen Schaal or Kate Micucci, absolutely.

You know, if they need a replacement guy to play the Flash, I hear Grant Gustin’s free pretty soon.

“CONAN! What is best in life?”

On its surface no, but if you look at how the characters were written back in the 60s, it does fit. Thor was punished for being egotistical and was bound to a frail human doctor. Iron Man may have been rich, but was also egotistical, and it caused him to get an injury which gave him a serious heart condition (and that…

It’s not that hard to tell a good Superman story. He’s a good guy who stands up to bullies. That’s the gratification the audience gets. The stakes come from the way sometimes the bad guys’ schemes are so villainous that Superman may not be able to overcome them. The dramatic growth comes from the fact that Superman…

Aw man he was Roz’s estranged husband on “Night Court”:
