This is an old internet pastime. Here’s one of my long time favorites:

Peter Lenkov, who also worked on fellow CBS revival hits Magnum P.I. and Hawaii Five-O

Oh, if only they could somehow tap into the Cannon Group catalog. I know it's pie in the sky, but a guy can dream, can't he?

Oswalt didn’t really work out. Maybe it was just a matter of dealing with too much in his personal life with the tragedy of his wife’s death, or that he just wasn’t a good fit for the format.

Yeah it's basically like in Star Trek when Data attempts to understand humor, so he turns to Joe Piscopo of all people. No clue where to even begin.

“A giant rollercoaster of a novel in four hundred sizzling chapters. A searing indictment of domestic servitude in the eighteenth century, with some hot gypsies thrown in”

Why have that moment of Ian checking out the gym neighbor? Why?! Is it too much to ask that he ogle his husband rather than ever other guy? Throughout the entirety of the series, I don’t think they’re shown Ian checking out Mickey the way he’s checked out other guys. Just a peeve of mine.

Yeah, I know they really set the character up to be someone you want to root for, but he always seemed like kind of a douche to me.

And of course the punchline at the end is “the government is stupid!”, which has pretty much been the attitude of every engineer I’ve ever met.

Though Airplane II is mostly a pale imitation of the original (with many of the jokes just repeated verbatim), the Shatner portion is my favorite.

I once picked up a Cliff’s notes about one of his novels. First, it was probably a longer and more involved read than the novel itself. Second, the intro to the book noted that, 30 years prior, any analysis of his work would probably talk about how what an incredible, groundbreaking writer Hemingway was. But since

I don’t think the theory is he was rendered impotent or anything - just that his injuries left him with a lifelong sense of his masculinity as a fragile, vulnerable, ephemeral thing, and thus he over-compensated by trying to embody this ideal of total masculinity and machismo.

This is what happens when engineers try and tell a joke. It’s not a pretty sight.

Richard, who just a day or two before was picking out the right wine to pair for a “buttery cheese” with his sons, murders his father on the freakin’ Wonder Wheel.

Batman is at his strongest when he inhabits a world very close to our own, and the Gotham of this film is probably the closest it’s ever gotten. There are no people with superpowers, magic, or alien invaders here. CGI and green screens are kept to an absolute minimum. Thomas Wayne’s goofy monorail system from the last

Hammer will be less toxic about the same time Hollywood decides to start casting Kevin Spacey again (perhaps in films directed by either Woody Allen or Roman Polansky). Sometimes a loss is a loss. They should just unceremoniously dump it on streaming (and in the theaters that are actually open right now) and get it

Meh. The photo depicting her as part of the original cast made me grin.

Meyer’s contributions to Star Trek IV (basically, the 20th century story) are also the best parts of the movie. I don’t think Meyer was actually involved with Nemesis. Though imagine how much better it might have been if he had been! I found this on the following website:

I’ve grown a lot fonder of TMP than I used to be. I admire its ambition, and its attempt at doing a “smart” Star Trek film. The cinematography is top notch. Robert Wise was an amazing director. I still like Khan more, but I wish current iterations of Star Trek would tilt the lever just a little bit away from the

“Here’s some money. Go see a Star War.”
