That episode first aired during Dead Week at my college, when dorms are on lockdown and there’s not supposed to be much noise. Our tradition on our floor was to watch Simpsons in the common room. It’s a really great episode with lots of LOL moments. So we got warnings from the RA after the stuntman gets mauled by a…

Pet Semetary was just out a month ago!

In the post-credits sequence of this film, Samuel L. Jackson runs over the just-reincarnated dog. 

OMG I love the cut to a wide shot of everyone else on stage in the same pose: head bowed, shoulders shaking. 

Many times growing up we’d hear my Dad making this near-anguished choking noise, run to check on him, only to find it was him watching something with Tim Conway in it and laughing himself to where he almost couldn’t breathe. One year when staying with relatives, he found out they had Dorf on Golf on VHS and we all…

Britt Hayes’ attorney on line one. 

Grant recently did what amount to a video Random Roles for another publication (Esquire?) and he’s pretty down on it. Says the cast and director thought it was going to bomb after watching some dailies. Curtis didn’t like him at first because Grant wasn’t what he wanted for the role. Grant’s also pretty critical of…

We re-watched I Am Legend last week and that movie is an object lesson in his towering charisma. He holds the whole thing together by force of personality (the scene with the dog, man . . . ). It falls apart at the end, but up to that point just watching him figure things out, watching emotions play across his face,…

Manny! SHOES! OFF! COUCH!!!

“I’d like to speak to your manager” is such perfect, cutting encapsulation of a certain type of person. I’m glad it’s become a meme and good use in this headline. 

The View is utterly toxic. It’s amazing to me that they’re swept under the #resistance tent now because Behar and Goldberg can’t stand McCain personally.

Um, excuse me. Robocalls use the preferred, more formal nomenclature of “the cops”. That’s how you know the call is legit, and you better get your social security number and bank account number handy! 

Oh man, Hot Dog the Movie. Growing up, that was a late night HBO mainstay. It knew exactly what it was, and supplied a good dose of nudity every 10 minutes or so. 

I’m 47 so I certainly didn’t mean to imply that! I was just remarking because Applegate was playing a teenager in 1990, and Cardellini was playing one ten years later, so I’d have thought they’d be further apart.

Yeah it’s a little weird. Then again she went from playing teenagers in F&G and I guess the CGI Scoobie movies straight into Mom roles with her ER stint.

I have a built-in dislike for this movie already since both of my kids went through a Pokémon phase and I had to endure hearing that shrieking cartoon on in the background for the better part of three years. Then just when they were both moving past it, this movie comes out. I feel like I’ve had to sit through the…

I’ve found that “Maybe you should drop 20 pounds” is a great response to almost any question regardless of context!

Well it’ll fit right in! Every Netflix kid show should just be called “FAAARRRT”, since that’s what happening onscreen almost any time I happen to walk through the room when my kids are watching one of their shows.

a) They didn’t have any/most of it was destroyed when Cersei took out the Sept.

Yeah we both go in the car afterwards and kind of immediately realized neither of our purchases was necessary.
