Were you around for the Experts reviews? For every single one he had a 500-word screed ready to copy and paste in the moment the review went up, and he went up and down the comments section and argued with anyone who had anything positive to say.

I knew that she wasn’t long for the Seven Kingdoms, but it was still sad to see the Queen of Thorns go. She had some of the best one-liners in the series, and Diana Rigg just nailed every scene.

Earlier this week, Felicity Huffman and 13 other rich parents announced that they are pleading guilty to the charges stemming from the college admission scam scheme(why don’t we have a snappier name for this thing?)...

This story’s already been told once before, in one of the most distinctive specimen of the genre: All That Jazz, a semi-autobiographical fantasia in which Fosse dramatized his nearly lethal decision to finish a movie while simultaneously getting a musical on its feet.

Apparently my comment posted twice (thanks Kinja!) so I’ll just say here that I’m still looking forward to this. It sounds ambitious but middling and that could be enough to keep me going.

I just binged the series again during Spring Break a couple of weeks ago, and when I got to this episode I was eagerly anticipating the explosion sequence, but I also remembered about how Lancel chasing the kid had bothered me, so I tried watching for a an earlier scene or bit of exposition that maybe I had missed…

As much as I love the drama and climatic payoff of the whole sequence leading up to the explosion (and the self-defenestration of Tommen afterwards), one thing has always bothered me about it: When the High Sparrow sends Lancel and the other Faith Militant to apprehend Cersei, Lancel spots one of Qyburn’s little birds…

Sam Richardson steals every scene; Peter MacNicol does, too. Put Richard and Uncle Jeff together and I lose it every time:

“Lane 5 don’t do that.”

“The Unnatural!” One of my favorite Gene-centered episodes, though motel owner’s scene with Tina and the coffee pot at the end is probably my favorite in that episode. (Tina drinks the motel coffee directly out of the pot). “That pot is a week old.” (Tina spits it out, then resumes drinking). “I put my cigarettes out…

I know, right? Kevin Kline as Mr. Fischoeder, Zack Galifianakis as Felix, Megan Mullally as Gayle, Jenny Slate as Tami, Gary Cole as Sgt. Bosco, Aziz Ansari as Daryl, Laura and Sarah Silverman as Andy and Ollie, Ken Jeong as Dr. Yap, David Wain as Courtney, Thomas Lennon as Chuck Charles, John Michael Higgins as Doug,…

“Do you think they just have Rob Huebel on speed dial? This was his eighth time voicing a different character. He’s always a welcome voice in a supporting role.”

Oh, that sucks. I was just thinking about him the other day when I recommended a Brad song to a friend:

Oh, I have a few I could manage well. Bob’s Burgers, Marvel comics, literary theory, critical theory, bad Michel Foucault impersonators...

I don’t care what she says now; “Flesh without Blood” is a barn burner, and the rest of the Art Angels is great, too:

Another stand-out moment for me comes right before Ned climbs those steps. The battle between his party and Arthur Dayne and Gerold Hightower was a short but sweet surprise for me with one of the best single line deliveries in the series:

I love Qyburn, and Anton Lesser definitely rides the line between charming and evil. Like in the scenes coming up in season six when he’s recruited Vary’s little birds to become his own army of murder moppets and they kill Pycelle. Right before that Qyburn apologizes to him for what is about to happen, and even…

“Only Qyburn hurries forward, and the two enact a surprisingly emotional moment as he wraps a blanket around her and hugs her as she sobs.”

I’m actually as excited about this as I am about Endgame. The New Mutants was one of my favorite series as a kid, I think horror is actually a perfect genre for a story involving the original team members, and the casting is superb.

That was the first cover in a series of covers—like from issue #18 to around #39—where Bill Sienkiewicz’s gorgeous art really lent itself to a ready-made sense of foreboding for me when I first encountered them when I was a kid. So when I heard that they were making a New Mutants horror film, I was like, “Oh that’s…
