Raise your hand if you’re in the film or theater community and you DON’T know someone who has a Kevin Spacey story.

Snarky commenters of the distant future: “Just think about how many film plots of the 00's and 10's would have been foiled if they had Mindscan back then!”

Huh, okay. Turns out Mark Halperin and Mark Helprin are two different people. They’re both authors, they both lean conservative, and they both contribute op-eds to major periodicals from time to time, but despite all this, they’re not actually the same guy.

And it’s called A Rainy Day In New York? This sounds less like a Woody Allen movie and more of a parody of a Woody Allen movie.

Ah yes, US Acres—the unfunny middle third of the Garfield and Friends cartoon show.

Attack of the Deranged Mutant Serial Killer Monster Snow Goon!

This is the sort of cultural dissonance that happens when the expectations of every demographic in the country—young and old, urban and rural, hip and square—have to be compressed into only three TV channels.

This all seems really dumb. Quit dumbsplaining me, Internet.

Never watched more than a few episodes of Spongebob, but that “freeform jazz” joke always cracks me up.

Remember the Ewoks? They’re back in Porg form!

Police Academy is beloved in Russia because their Mission to Moscow eased relations between our two nations after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

The main argument I hear against gun control laws is that they wouldn’t prevent situation XYZ from happening. But if a law “only” prevented 100 or 50 or even ONE innocent person from dying, wouldn’t it be worth it?

I’ve never seen this show, but I’m intrigued how oddly cult-like the commercials for it always are.

I can only assume that everything that’s happened in the last year is all part of America becoming Great Again.

Oh my gaaaawd it was a joke. Jeez, what’s happened to this place?

Quelle Horreur! Why, you can almost see underneath some of her undergarments!

Before Hef, no one gave a damn about naked women. In fact, they were considered a nuisance at the best of times.

That’s a relief. I think I turned out okay, but when I was a teen, consent was definitely not a major part of the curriculum. I did watch a lot of the teenage sex comedies of the era though—and thinking back, it’s INCREDIBLE how many of them involved nonconsensual assault or voyeurism or something equally skeevy.

I’ve been wondering: are issues like consent and harassment covered in today’s sex ed classes, especially ones geared toward adolescent males? They should be, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re not. My sex ed classes in high school certainly never covered them at all.

I certainly didn’t expect to see precocious children featured prominently in this Wes Anderson movie!
