It was based on a BBC series After it ran out of original British storyline the series just kind’a came unglued.

Let’s include the 2016 CBS series ‘Brain Dead’ that had alien insects crawling into the heads of Washington politicians. That wasn’t even the most egregious part of the series. The WORST part was the series depicted Democrats as radicalized obstructionists and Republicans as pragmatic moderates. That partisan fantasy w…

I’m reminded of that middle-aged minimum wage worker in an old Walmart(?) commercial who sang everything. My reaction was ‘Yeh, right, that’s EXACTLY what its like working there’.

About a decade ago the internet was filled with heart warming clips of returning servicemen greeting their pet dog after a year. I recall someone commented “Awh, that so sweet, I hope we’re ALWAYS at war!”

First order of business is to complain about how really really offensive those Borat promo (I nearly typed ‘porno’) ads are. Its got so I don’t want to click on the AV Club site anymore.

Barrett is 100% a Scalia clone. America is in for some dark times, unless Clarence Thomas happens to catch you-know-what and he just happens to you-know-what as a result.

No, the dumbest shit in a year of dumb shit has to be the California GOP setting up fake election ballot drop boxes so they could ‘harvest’ the ones that voted Democratic and throw them away.

From what I see of the costumes, it looks like  they dressed up to cosplay ‘Walking Dead’ at a comic book convention. Not even the dweebiest dwweb on the planet would walk around in a brown corduroy 3 piece suit.

The first and only time I heard that phrase ‘French exit’ was on the podcast ‘My Dad Wrote a Porno’, a couple years back, when one of the hosts was described as ghosting out of a party without saying her goodbyes. I suppose its a real slang term Brits use but I’ve never encountered that phrase ‘in the wild’.

I would have preferred to see a story about Morton Thiokol who produced rockets back when the topic was interesting and it didn’t involve a creepy cult of personality for its CEO.

As an aside, I’m finding the ad here for the Borat movie (which I wouldn’t watch on a bet) really REALLY offensive.

Oh, wrecking Temple of Doom is all of Spielberg’s own shoulders.

I suspect this is fake news from Trump’s fevered brain to puff himself up. For the simple reason the Trump leaving the hospital looked like death warmed over. His eyes had the look of fear in them. He wasn’t in a playful mood. Reports from the hospital said Trump was afraid he was going to die. The Superman T-shirt…

An Israeli playing an Egyptian. Nothing problematic there at all.

I recall when I was a little kid being all excited by the concept of the series ‘Lost In Space’. But watching episodes would be a huge disappointment. You’ve got this cool concept and a network backing you all you can do is this crap? That is basically how I feel now about SNL.

The Korean eight episode sci-fi anthology series SF8 has wrapped up. Episodes 1 and 8 were something special, their titles ‘The Prayer’ and ‘Empty Body’. The others were more diverse with different directors for each. The series did what anthology series tend to do, put the best episodes first and last. I did especiall…

This somehow reminds of the live action Mulan.
Disney had bizarrely decided to make the Chinese traditional concept of chi (qi) equivalent to ‘the force’ in Star Wars (and as a result the movie flopped bigtime). I wish Star Wars would do something equivalent,  turn ‘the force’ into something more conceptual and…

Using the works of George Orwell to shill for the Fascist ultra-right in America is the same as using the teaching to Jesus to argue for abandoning the poor to their fate and worshiping greed.

Will they charge 30 bucks just to stream it like they did with the God-awful Mulan?

I agree with everything he said.
50(ish) years ago I was one of those 12(ish) year old boys reading the comic books that all these movie character came from. They were basically allegories for the mysterious transformations of puberty. The musle-bound heroes were aspirational templates for adult male behavior, or in S…
