Good. Sony has proven to be incompetent in so many ways. Not only are their standalone movies so obviously market-tested and watered down to the point that they have absolutely no voice, but the studio just doesn’t have the boldness or vision to launch a franchise. If you think I’m being too hard on them, go and read…

It’s an animated French film from the early 70's called Fantastic Planet. It’s part of the Criterion Collection, but I think you can find it on YouTube.

Adorable. I wouldn’t expect anything less from Chocolate Chip Cookies for Breakfast.

I’m only half surprised at the news. I liked the first season a lot, but from the beginning I thought the premise was better suited for a limited series.

As I pointed out in an earlier comment, Elia Kazan was given an honorary Oscar in 1998, a decision which was boycotted by a lot of people too young to have gone through the blacklist. Among them was Steven Spielberg, Ed Harris and Nick Nolte.

No, it didn’t. My understanding is he ended up doing his best work after the blacklist ended. But it says a lot when, at the 1998 Academy Awards, a bunch of people too young to have experienced the blacklist boycotted him being given an honorary Oscar by either not standing, or standing but not clapping.

How funny. I just listened to the You Must Remember This episode about her grandfather, Elia Kazan, naming names to HUAC during the Hollywood blacklist. I wonder if it’s weird having a relative who worked in the same industry you’re currently in, but was (and still is) known as one of the biggest rats in show…

I always thought How I Met Your Mother gave its characters laughably unoriginal jobs. Barney was a generic cutthroat businessman; Marshall an attorney; Lily a kindergarten teacher; Robin a TV news anchor; and of course, the most egregious, is Ted as an architect cum architecture professor at Columbia University. As…

Well, I did make her watch Lars Von Trier’s Antichrist in theaters, knowing how sensitive she is to fucked up avante garde movies. So you’re probably right.

While I should be relieved that this is the last installment, I have a sneaking suspicion there’s someone out there writing fan fiction based on this this god awful series, which will be published (for a substantial seven-figure advance, no less) and promptly turned into the next string of steamy movies that my wife…

Holy crow, that clip is raunchy! At fifty seconds you can see Pryor do a hit of coke, wiping his nose and everything.

That’s a cop out. I’m 30 and I haven’t had a Facebook profile since 2012. Even when I had a page, I never had the app on my phone. Since deleting FB I get significantly less birthday wishes, but it shows who my real friends are when people email or text me invites and significant updates.

They’re, uh, still in their 40's brah.

Nah, for me it’s gotta be Ginger or Scary.

Does this mean the “Hottest Spice Girl” debate has resumed?

Hey, Quincy. Big fan, man. Um, have you heard Paul McCartney’s bass on “Something”? Why don’t you give that another listen before you call him a shitty bass player.

Couldn’t agree with you more, Kate. And in fact, it’s so refreshing to find someone that shares my opinion on TVs in bars. A someone who does not really care for sports but loves good old fashioned cocktail bars, I can’t express how annoying it is to go somewhere for a drink and see a bunch of 55" televisions.…

T2: Judgement Day is one of my all-time favorite movies. Yet I somehow missed the fact that there was an extended Director’s cut out there. So I streamed it a couple of months ago, and I wasn’t sure what to make of it. My first thought was that it’s sort of bizarre to watch new scenes (really, a whole new subplot) in…

He played Walt Disney and now Mr. Rogers? Hopefully this will allow him to play the titular character in the Big Bird biopic that’s been stalled in development since the 90's.

I did. And it was great. And the best part? Minimal Johnny! Plus, the night I decided to watch it, Netflix added the trilogy to their library.
