Well, LEBOWSKI is pretty loosely based on THE BIG SLEEP, and Leigh Brackett wrote the screenplay for that adaptation too, so there is a lot of DNA-mixing here.

If we outlaw "hipster" only outlaws will be hipsters. And brother, we do not need Hipster Outlaws (great band, you've probably never heard of them).

I hope he's carried off to talk show Valhalla by the Dancing Itos.

In one sentence, you've come up with a scenario more horrifying than anything on this season of AHS:Coven.

13 episodes to get from killer vaginas and minotaurs to a mother-daughter hug and a dig at Carrie Underwood's "Sound of Music." And now, unlike 98% of the constantly resurrected characters on the show, AHS:Coven finally - finally - knows the sweet, merciful release of death.

Shit yes. I will sign your Caplan-as-Stephanie-Zimbalist petition.

My first thought was Requiem and yet I'm kind of glad he wasn't asked about it. Because he was damn creepy in that. Part of the weird dichotomy that is Requiem… Great movie, yet if I never see it again that's perfectly fine with me.

Yes, that was definitely an audible WTF moment.

Cooke does an exceptional job bringing Fun Island to life. As mentioned in the review, he's able to flex his design muscle with all the material the book gives. The adaptation overall felt a little slim to me ultimately, as far as the story goes. But as I had just read the novel, it was a lot more present in my mind…

Kennan was supposed to play the Dwight Yoakam part in PANIC ROOM, wasn't he? Or at least it was written with him in mind?

I enjoyed the "Twin Bed" bit quite a bit, but SNL is getting a lot of credit for what is essentially a reworked Beastie Boys' lyric (not to get all GoldieBlox on the situation):

Sarah "Rahm Emanuel Should Be Fired For Allegedly Saying The 'R-Word' Behind Closed Doors" Palin certainly does have some fucking loopholes in her version of the Bill of Rights, doesn't she?

And one of the other layers in the Tim vs. Colt scene is the fact
that that showdown is the greatest Elmore Leonard dialogue not written by
Elmore Leonard in this entire series. The writers have tried quite
successfully to not merely ape Leonard's style, but to ask HOW and WHY
he would write a scene/dialogue and this…

"And so you see, Hugh, time travel is really only used in X-Men storylines to help keep things coherent. Now, let's move on to Nate Grey and how he had a relationship with the clone of his mother…"

Glad to see at least one vote for Houndmouth, since AV Club is how I heard of that band in the first place. I like that album. So what I'm saying is "Thanks AV Club."

I'm confounded that this news is half a day old and we still haven't seen a "Gal, You'll Be A Wonder Woman Soon" headline.

Sidenote: Richard Marx's father wrote the gloriously peppy/cheesy fight song Here Come The Hawks for the Chicago Blackhawks. That doesn't tie into this article's theme at all, but I just like that little bit of trivia. AND the fact that his dad went by the name "Dick Marx." Because I'm 12 years old, apparently.

The wife and I took issue with the Governor's dubious strategy there too. You'd think one of those army guys following him around would start to question the choices he makes. But hey, when most people zig, the Governor zags… and beheads the crippled old man while allowing his mortal enemy the chance to Die Hard out…

I like how Andrew Lincoln's version of a southern accent and Rick being wounded further dwindled down his pronunciation of "Carl" to the crow call it was always destined to become.

After Irrera's story, the Sklars talk about their run in with Dice too. The story was one of the staples in their act for awhile.
