McKinnon is the best on current SNL, hopefully this will jumpstart a very succesful movie career for her. We need more female comedians!

This is why we need a Venture Bros. Live-action movie. It would be the perfect antidote for this and for the superhero saturation. Just make Jonas Venture Sr. more like Tony Stark than Benton Quest.

The only one I have seen is “Vote, vote, vote for Nigel Barton” but it was nothing short of brilliant:

I was surprised a Spanish anthology series from the 60’s calles Historias Para No Dormir (Think Twilight Zone or Tales of the Unexpected) adapted several of Bradbury along Poe and “The Monkey Paw”. It shows how universal Bradbury managed to be.

For some odd reason my week has been bombarded with Bradbury. Not that I complain, mind you. Just yesterday I happened to stumble upon a great little adaptation of one of his short stories:

This could have been the Social Science Fiction of the decade Instead, it glossed over all that for some cheap humor.

Certainly brings to mind productions like Inmoral Tales and The Beast.

Exactly, it doesn't help either that around that time you see Family Guy and South Park pushing the envelope far more The Simpsons could and they were forced to do pop culture stuff to stay relevant. The old episodes also had those, true, but the joke could work even if you weren't familiar with said media as is the

Counterpoint: Twin Peaks.

I recently watched an episode from The Simpsons made circa early 2000's. There was a joke that was based on Michael Jackson showing his kid off the balcony. God, the cringe was big on this one. That's the difference between Classic Simpsons and New Simpsons.

Something tells me he will be the Chavy Chase to Farrell's Bill Murray.

I can see him pulling a Bill Murray in a couple of years or so.

I finished reading The League of the Extraordinary Gentlemen: Black Dossier the very same early morning he passed away. Part of me was joyful, because I knew that, as long as I would think of him, he would forever be alive in The Blazing World.

He could pull a second-rate Stephen Fry, though.

He is not a good David Mitchell, I will grant you that! Still, both make my favorite comedic duo.

I always thought Robert was better looking than David.

This reminds me of the Kiphri from Perdido Street Station. Females had humanoid bodies but scarab heads capable of complex thoughts and connections while males were little parasites that mate with the scarab head and died.
