I was wondering how Community did for therm financially. It was ready to go out, though the movie could work of they could somehow get the original cast back together, even (or especially) if they can retcon Pierce back in. It's live to see his pissed of paycheck performance.

They really should have used the term "Clickbait" instead of ad. The point is that what used to be legitimate news outlets are completely collapsing on themselves. Don Lemon's racebait shouting matches are the biggest thing at CNN, TIME runs listicles about about whatever's trending that's a step above Buzzfeed. …

Substitute "Ads" with "Clickbait" and I think it would hit the mark perfectly. Those BS ad-type listicles and regurgitated 100-times-over race/feminism/sexism/homophobia "controversy" copy and pasted articles are what really fuels the partisan conspiracy beast, and they're far more nefarious than poorly designed…

I am certainly no Trump fan, and I do think he has milked the initial support he received from that comment since he made it, which is itself a problem. I also strongly disagree with his actual sentiment. However, I don't think it's fair the way people are taking his clumsily worded spouting from his campaign launch…

I was thinking this movie had a vignette with the evil black uncle (played by Clarence Williams III), who was a funeral director ave adopted his basketball loving nephew. The uncle goes on to sell the kid's Air Jordans, paralyze him with a beating, and pushes the kid down the stairs, killing him. Spoilers: the kid's…

I think everyone can agree on the parental fears in The Babadook and STDs in It Follows. The connecting theme in all the movies above about the pervasive nature of whatever evil and how it's not even on the table that it will be destroyed in a climactic ball of flames, but rather we just have to live with it in a…

There are some pretty blatant Eyes Wide Shut references this episode. The big Evil Corp meeting/wake/whatever when Philip Price is addressing the crowd from the podium above in that dark hall with the large columns is just like the MC at the orgy party addressing a stripped down Tom Cruise after he'd been outed, and…

I'm pretty positive it was ADR'd on there. If you notice, he's off camera when you hear the dialogue and the camera is just on a generic reaction shot of her across the table. The look she had on her face could have been to just about any sleazy thing he said, so it wouldn't have taken too much to re-record and find…

I'm just catching up now, and I was wondering if there was ever a time we hear some body say Evil Corp when Elliot isn't around so we can't blame it on his perception. I remember trying to track that from the beginning because I was trying to figure out if all the weirdness on the show was just in his head or if it's…

There is an intentionally dark and despairing tone in Wario Land 3D for the Virtual Boy. More than just being lonely, it seems to purposefully take advantage of the bleak, monochromatic environments the Virtual Boy put out, with everything in burnt yellow and burnt red. Add to that the weird periscope design of the…

Actual racist extremists are a miniscule part of the population (at least in the US), so I think we can all comfortably agree they have some pretty bad ideas. As to the issue of the internet striking out the excuse that people in a particularly backward culture can't claim isolation as an excuse, I think more complex…

With the Ms. Garrison storyline, it does look cringy in retrospect, but it's kind of hard to fault them. I would say the vast majority of Americans at that time had no understanding of trans-issues and assumed that transgender people were just mentally ill. I would say that was true until the last couple years and…

I wouldn't bet on that. I'm pretty sure their story is done, and there has been plenty of rumors and strong hints in interviews with both Pizzolato and Fukunaga that they didn't get along very well. I also think Fukunaga has too much he'd like to try outside the constraints of making a TV show. I know It just fell…

I think the dire lines for every character is the biggest issue, followed by a n impossible void to fill left by Fukunaga. I was excited about Vaughn in the role, but the script has taken that character inside the red zone of useless, and Vaughn's lackluster approach to it took the rest of the way.

McConaughey was great and also playing kind of a loon, and I think a lot of his pontificating rightfully played for absudist laughs, especially with Woody as a superb (read better performance) straight man against him. I think Fukunaga's direction and the cinematography is what made it really work.

They are delivering pretty bad lines. I don't understand why the script had to go in the direction of grave and deeply existential in every damn scene. Maggie and Marty had great dialogues last season and a natural chemistry, even as things were sinking between them. They discussed plenty of serious life affecting…

Honestly, that schtick might really work for him and make his character a lot more entertaining if the script and his performance just gave him some levity and laid off on the grave self-seriousness at every turn. I'm not talking about making him the straight up bro-comedy Vaughn we all loved, then tolerated, then…

It would be one thing if they had some red shirts who felt natural to the sequence. Maybe if the meth lab explosion started a fire that just blew through the warehouse below, or just one or two guys shot down a number of bystanders. The line of protesters chanting about the main storyline of the season, and being…

Harrelson was the anchor of that show in such an under-appreciated way. He had to constantly play real off of McCounaghey's crazy ass philosophical rants at the most inappropriate times. If it wasn't for Harrelson nailing it, those pondering car monologues would have played like the creepiest (or funniest) version…

I think all four of our leads showed up the first day this season assuming they were supposed to be the next McCaughnehey. Nobody on set had the heart to pick just one, so they just said, "Everyone gets to McCaughnehey!"
