Things like this make me wonder if the so-called "superhero backlash" isn't going to come from the moviegoers, but rather the actors.

I initially went with 'Frankenstein' on FJ, then noticed "short story" in the clue and switched over to "The Metamorphosis" rather confidently. Never read it, but figured the clue was telling me enough to support the guess. One of those things that sticks in your head that you really have very little knowledge about.…

You can knock Amazon and the Kindle for a variety of reasons, but the privacy aspect of it is really comforting and allows for fewer mortified airline passengers. The nearest personal equivalent of your anecdote I can think of was when I brought a tattered paperback copy of 'Rise and Fall of the Third Reich' to the…

Rebeca was absurd in all respects. Every now and then you get a contestant who basically plays like they do at home. Why use proper answering etiquette or pay attention to category designations when you can just say things?

I just finished reading a history of Google. The Internet is pretty freaky once you actually read about the Internet.

Much like the rest of society, I simply shook my head when Leah uttered her $600 bet. At times like this, I miss Arthur Chu.

I haven't seen 'Grown Ups 2,' but there's at least a 30% chance it had a better script than 'Pacific Rim.'

As somebody who supports a lot of shitty entertainment, it would be hypocritical of me to judge humanity for wasting their money.

Like John, I was not feeling it with this collection of clues.

I made the mistake of clicking this thread when I had stuff to do. Time has disappeared on me.

People lean on "Easy movie to respect, hard movie to love" to the point of cliche, but in this case, it's true. I have no problem with it getting nominations, though in my own hierarchy for the year, it ranks below the likes of something like 'Whisplash,' which I adored.

I just watched 'Life Itself' this weekend and was more affected by that than I was by any picture this year. Beyond the obvious appeal of the film (looking back on the life of a charismatic, well-known writer), the documentary contemplates mortality and the passage of time in a really brilliant way. I don't know how…

The Academy only has room for one film that's remotely dark or edgy. This year it was 'Foxcatcher,' leaving 'Gone Girl' and 'Nightcrawler' to sit out in the cold unrewarded while contemplating the shittiness of humanity.

Most surprising failure was the inability of any contestant to identify a picture of John Wilkes Booth.

I understood 75% of what was laid out in this article. The other 25% was related to information from non-Golden Age seasons, which fuck that.

As someone who went to Iowa for graduate school, I can confirm that it's probably a state.

I'm generally in trouble with categories like "Broadway Musicals" and ultimately settled on 'Oklahoma' for my response, because Oklahoma and Iowa are sort of kind of vaguely not really in the same area as each other. Predictably, I was pretty happy that even though I was wrong, two contestants also said the same thing.

Let's all be honest: Every week is Simpsons Week here.

I bought 'Let it Be…Naked' when I was in high school back in the early 2000's. Junior year, maybe? While (more or less) every review calls Paul's cleaned-up version superfluous tinkering, the Spector-less versions will always be what I think of when I think of 'Let it Be.' It was one of those things that I listened to…

According to Marvel, 8,000 by the year 2028.
