Yeah. He was great on 30 Rock, and he was in some pretty good movies (The Hunt for Red October, for example). The “Always Be Closing” scene added to the film adaptation of Glengarry Glen Ross wouldn’t have been the same with any other actor delivering that monologue. I also love his voice as the narrator of The Royal…

That header pic has me worried that Will Smith has been binging nerve tonic.

Did you not see him going after CNBC for its sociopathic coverage of the 2008 housing crisis?

Yeah the show’s writers invented the scenes between Arya and Tywin, for example, right? Those were great (sincerely).

I just haven’t seen her in awhile, I guess, outside of that AMC ad. I haven’t gotten around to watching Big Little Lies. Maybe when I do I’ll finally calibrate to what she looks like now.

Holy shit is that Kidman at the left of the header pic? Is it possible to get plastic surgery for your entire body?

I don’t have much of a dog in this fight (between those who say finish the damn books and those who say leave him be). I watched GoT but haven’t read the books (happy I haven’t, given the circumstances).

It’s hit its 50-year anniversary and there have been a handful of retrospective pieces that argue that it’s time it received its proper recognition. Compelling story, amazing performances, and Walter Murch and Coppola’s pioneering sound design really shines through.

I’d go four—The Godfather Parts I and II, Apocalypse Now, and also The Conversation.

Seek therapy.

I still don’t fucking understand it. Grande not only licked multiple donuts and then put them back, she then turned to whoever was with her and said, “I hate Americans. I hate America.” That would be enough to sink lots of people’s careers right there, but her “apology” ignored the incident itself and itstead the…

What, they couldn’t get Dunkin’ to partner with them and do a pre-licked donut promotion?

I’ve long thought that one obvious change Lucas could have made would’ve been to kill off Padme earlier and make the anguish and loneliness that Anakin feels be what pushes him over the edge. Having him be manipulated to slaughtering the Jedi—including children—because he fears she’ll die like his mommy--just makes…

They help fulfill Joe Quesada's fantasy that Peter Parker has sex with as many people not named MJ as possible?

In a statement included in the report, executive co-producer Darren Demetre pushed back on these allegations...

His shtick is jumping down to the comments to aggressively argue with people. He used to be an AV Club regular before becoming a writer (and he used to love to point that out), then he seemed to disappear, and now he’s back, apparently. Lucky us.

If I recall correctly, more than a few people here thought LaVar felt a bit flat during his time as guest host, but I’d still like to see him get a shot at a full-time gig like this if he’d be up for it. Also, saying that Bialik “stepped away” seems a bit euphemistic:

Present-day Malkovich would make a great Puppet Master.

Sorry—I meant more New York State than New York City. Cypher’s father was a local lawyer who helped Xavier set up the school near North Salem before Cypher himself turned out to be a mutant and began attending.

Henry Zaga. He’s Brazilian, though not Afro-Brazilian. Not perfect casting, admittedly, but he definitely had Roberto’s born-with-a-silver-spoon, cocksure attitude down.
