Even more unpopular opinion: he’s never been that funny.

It is really splitting hairs, but I would counter that sheer bevy of subtext present in each shot of The Americans makes it the champion.

However, I have both on DVD, so I’m very happy. :)

Look, I love Hannibal, but The Americans is the best show on television currently. The writing and direction are en pointe, and Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell pretty much floor all others in the subtle acting department. Plus, Margo Martindale and Frank Langella!

I’m convinced that Into the Woods was a Faustian tale, in which James Corden got to live with Anna Kendrick, but had to put up with those two annoying brats in return.

I’m interested to know when the line of mildly disabled or not-so obviously disabled dolls will be released.

Yes I’m being facetious, but I would be genuinely curious to see if they produce dolls with one leg slightly shorter than the other due to cerebral palsy or if they’ll ever attempt a doll representing some one…

Placing my bet now: The NX device launches with whatever Pokémon game Nintendo releases for the 20th Anniversary.

I think they’ll hold out on the Red/Green/Blue re-releases until the 25th.

This is a damn cool get-up and I wish that I could wear it. Of course I can’t, and the last time I stuffed a bra for dress-up was uncomfortable, so I’ll just have to make do with less fashionable, lamer velvet jackets (hypothetically, I don’t have one).

That was some pretty excellent foliage CGI though.

Please let there be local co-op, please let there be local co-op...

“S. O. S.
When you’re gone,
How can I even try to go on?
When you’re gone
Though I try how can I carry on?”

His "African American" special, the stuff did in South Africa, and his Live at the Apollo gigs are some funnier bits I've seen in a while. He'll do well.

The Indian Olympic Committee is so damn thrilled right now...

As for my achievements at two, I was successfully negotiating the terms by which I could acquire Brio steam trains from my relatives. I did have a discussion on chromosomes and the Big Bang apparently. I couldn't walk though, so I suppose it cancels out.

This…

Sadly your cynicism about the ability of people to connect the author of one book to another is probably warranted, despite Harper Lee being one of the most famous authors in the world.

As an Englishman, I've yet to meet someone who doesn't know To Kill a Mockingbird.

Dear God the British cover is bad.

"Oh no, how will the public identify an author whose one novel has been relevant since its publication, such that it has never left the cultural zeitgeist ?"

20th Anniversary next year. You can count on a re-re-release unless they save it for the 25th. They'll probably do both.

Now it's Jennifer Aniston who's calling off her wedding to Justin Theroux, not the other way around, which is crazy: "Jen panicked and was a runaway bride!"

I'm incredibly close to the common woman in that I'm a woman and I'm a mother and we all are in a physical body with beating hearts with compassion and love we are all seekers… we all want fulfillment, we all want to live our best lives. We want to be healthy and happy and squeeze the most we can out of life. I think…

As long as they include auto-rickshaws in the mode, things will be fine. God I miss Kolkata.

It was honestly one of the most powerful and all-encompassing speeches I've ever heard and a total masterclass in oration if nothing else. As a cynical Englishman, it almost made me want to be American. If this speech doesn't galvanise Americans to change the status quo then nothing much will.

And now for the actual…
