Considering that they’re supposed to be comedians, the fact that I’ve never laughed at Chaplin is a big strike against him.

Yeh, Billy Bush got railroaded. Its obviously the job of ‘Access Hollywood staff’ to pander to and flatter some of the most God-awful people on the planet for the show. You thought they wouldn’t laugh along with gross comments from misogynist pigs during interviews? ‘Access Hollywood’ was never about moral integrity.

Here’s a synopsis of ‘Signal’: “A mysterious walkie talkie allows a detective in the year 2000 to communicate with a cold case profiler from 2015; with the power of fore and hindsight the two not only solve crimes but prevent them from ever taking place. However, a long-standing murder case is closer to home than…

The problem with a Keaton boipic is there’s no up lifting message to end it on. World’s greatest film comic sees career flushed down the toilet with the coming of talkies, falls into alcoholism and obscurity, and eventually dies of cancer. Its the Norma Desmond story without William Holden floating in the swimming…

Heather being mistaken for Indian (or West Asian) is something Lovell herself has brought up. When she spoke of having ‘those conversations’ with casting directors she seemed to have a tinge of bitterness in her voice.

CBS studios was flirting with the idea of importing some of the superior Korean TV series and remaking them. They briefly got the rights to the 2013 international hit “You from a Star” but it went nowhere. There was a Korean series named ‘Signal’ that predated the CW series “Frequency” by a year. But American tastes…

Do you recall one of the earliest attempted reboots? “Knightrider” 2008. The show was execrable. It was on par with watching a cheap porno film with the sex scenes removed.

Did you know Freeform has their own website that you can stream shows from? So I got to see the first two episodes of Little Esther’s TV series.

I recall a Korean TV show a few year ago that pointedly mocked that very ‘fashion model’ pose in a comedy bit about taking wedding photos.

Since I came to this article from the AV club site, let me mention the latest episode of ‘Crazy Ex-Girlfriend’. Episode 10 the star Rachel Bloom makes an ostentatious display of her belly flab. I mean showing it off by the handful, making affectionate comments about it, thanking donuts for giving it to her while…

There were callbacks galore. Did you notice R. in the hot tub was wearing her party bus pole dance bathing suit?

Hah! We’re on opposite sides once again! I *hated* last episode with a passion (form may of the same reason you dislike this episode) and much preferred this one. This to me was very much mid-first-season Rebecca, the live-action looney tunes cartoon.

Usually fantasy/science fiction is said to be an allegory for real world issues. For Star Wars I got nothin’, unless its all about the futility of being a good guy. You pick a cause, you die for it, nothing changes.

My original objection to season 1 Riverdale music was it was too ‘sincere’. It entirely lacked that needed layer of ironic self-awareness. There’s no way to make a sincere song about a teenage boy feeling his feelings NOT sound bad. The show’s greatest strength is its demented self-awareness, something missing from…

What Star Wars needs, more whining and pouting.

Razzies is annual the pre-Oscar reminder that award ceremonies are meaningless.

Mall chain restaurants don’t aim for ‘good’ food, they aim for ‘acceptible to the highest percentage of people’ food. The same holds true for TV. The higher the quality of a show the lower the viewership numbers. If you can make a show just good enough that its not objectively awful viewers will flock to it. Call it…

Since he was caught in a nuclear explosion last film I suppose we could watch him slowly die of radiation poisoning next one

Johansson is the go-to actress for whitewashing Asian roles. Where’s the outrage and demands she never get a job again because of it?

I read an articles several years ago that (if memory serves) reported that Marian soil is toxic, making human habitation impossible. Metals that would have commonly been leached out of the soil on earth remain present in dry Mars soil, like the metals Lithium and arsenic. NASA discounted that report because to them…
