I felt old when Aubrey was credibly old enough to play a mother of a preteen in the recent Child’s Play movie.

C’mon, 1987-1991 is pretty clearly peak Costner (with Perfect World and Tin Cup representing some later-’90s highlights). I feel like it’s pretty ungenerous (or just unrealistic) to say he peaked *before* Bull Durham/Field of Dreams!

Scary how easy cultural erasure has become. I agree this is a necessary point to make, even if the last time I paid attention to MTV News it was a TV show hosted by Kurt Loder and Tabitha Soren.

You didn’t miss much on SNL ... she didn’t get a lot to do.

Before transitioning into my current state of musical arrested development, I went to MTV News.com for the obvious music news, but also to be turned on to new bands/artists. Post-college, it was my last bastion of discovering new music, before algorithms thoroughly turned me off to the experience, as their…

Talk about a movie that came along at the very last moment something like that could have been made. My god.

I was too young to have seen her on SNL, but I fell hard for JLD on a little one-season wonder called Day By Day, also featuring Courtney Thorne-Smith right before Melrose Place, and Cristopher Daniel Barnes before The Brady Bunch Movie (he even played Greg Brady in a Brady Bunch-themed episode of Day By Day!)

The way that Sutherland delivers that final line—“That is a coup d’etat”—right as LBJ looks directly into the camera—still gives me something just short of chills.

When I was a kid I became obsessed with the JFK assassination, largely as a result of Stone’s film. As I got a little older and a little wiser and realized most of the film is bullshit, I still kept coming back to Sutherland’s Mr. X monologue. It, too, is largely bullshit, but Sutherland is just so damn good…

Al I know is that in the ads I’ve seen for it, Tom Hardy seems to be doing some sort of weird voice that makes me laugh.

You can grab both DC and Marvel comic books as early as the 80s where the figure /personality of Donald Trump is used openly as shorthand for “pathetic businessman, cruel incompetence”. Even in the late 90s, before his show came on the air, I recall a web comic that had Trump viciously attacking a child’s lemonade…

If you were from NYC, you knew.

Trump was starstruck because “I’ve been watching her” on Will & Grace, and here was a beautiful celebrity being “so thankful” to him. “And I’m saying, ‘She’d do anything for me,’” he reflected, his words “lathered with a suggestive grease, similar to” the infamous Access Hollywood tape, Setoodeh writes.

“Locker room talk.”

They haven’t forgotten. They don’t think it matters because women aren’t people.

“He didn’t say it.”

You mean, besides how she criticized him on Twitter? The piece presumes that he’s telling the truth that they really met at an NBC upfront and she gushed over him, only to later criticize him. I’m saying that he’s probably making up the former in response to the latter. There’s no evidence that it happened; in fact,…

Well, duh! Actors like Messing are probably used to flattering slimy entertainment industry bigwigs for the sake of their jobs, but that doesn’t mean she’d endorse him for president of the country. Plus, Messing’s show was off the air by the time Trump launched his campaign, so she certainly didn’t have to pretend…

And they all say, "Sir, thank you"

Yep, she was in line right behind the big huge manly men who weep giant manly tears because Trump saved America.
