For the record, I always liked the title Edge of Tomorrow. It’s not as evocative as All You Need is Kill but while that title worked as a novel title, it feels a little goofy for a movie title. Edge of Tomorrow evokes golden age SF for me: if you showed me a creased paperback from 1958 with that title, I’d assume it…

For me he’ll always be the less-insane IRA terrorist in Patriot Games. That movie becomes pretty nuts by the end, but the scene where he apologizes to the nebbishly bookstore owner before Sean Bean shoots him is a pretty great little moment. 

You’re thinking of Mars Attacks when she played the First Lady. 

And Guardians of the Galaxy.

My wife and I thought that the woman interviewing Hays had some connection to Julie. Our best guess was that Julie got pregnant while she was real young, either by the Hoyts or after she ran away and that her daughter was trying to either figure out where her mom was/who wanted to hurt her, or that she had some…

I also thought the convent wasn’t something she needed to be “rescued” from. It was a refuge for her at the time. I suppose the “rescue” would be the nuns faking her death so she couldn’t be found.

To be a fly on the wall at the AV Club offices at this moment.

At least it’s not not a sequel. . . .

With a queen that hot, he reached a point of no return.

You mean Chris O’Donnell didn’t work for you as a young Gabriel Byrne?

Haha, you know, I still enjoy that movie for what it is. And I would have loved for it to be the 3rd movie in a trilogy featuring the same guys when they were younger. What a cast!

I’m a fan of Terriers and think the name is perfect. It’s just a show that looked too generic too attract its proper audience in time, and was too offbeat and high-quality for the basic cable comfort-foot procedural general viewership. Had it been an early Netflix original, it might have been a decent hit befitting…

That would never be posted on The Root, because it is actually coherent. Here’s an actual take from The Root’s Jussie Smollett comment section, posted at the top of the Kinja heap:

People lie about crazy shit all the time. All kinds of people. It doesn’t necessarily mean they have mental problems.

“exhaustion”

Guinevere was ridiculously hot.  And it’s not quite Helen of Troy stupid.   

Only in this era can a black guy (me for what it’s worth) be blindly labeled racist because I don’t automatically froth with nebulous rage every time a bunch of whites people insist I should.  

Next stop for Jussie: rehab for some nebulous issue.

My dad used to have a three step chip process that made great fries. First he’d boil the potatoes, and then I can’t remember if it was bake>fry or fry>bake. But they were amazing. I’ll have to check with him.

I’ve been watching a lot of Ruthless Aggression era stuff, and just the other day I watched the Raw where Miz, still in “former Real World guy” mode and relegated to hosting duties, tells Maryse that she’s been cut from the Diva Search contest. In retrospect it’s such a perfect romcom “these two don’t even know…
