That’s a great idea.  But remember, before you go half-Dorf, that you can go full-Dorf.  Gary Oldman remains available to play Annie.

After waiting for it for so long, I found the final battle between The House and The Mountie to be a letdown.

I think if the movie Tiptoes has shown us anything, it’s that in these cases the solution is to have the actors who are too tall wear shoes on their knees and walk around like that, so that they appear shorter.  Problem solved.

Totally agree that actresses hear crazy things about their physical appearance. But (without in any way endorsing the cruel thing said about her) I actually can sort of see someone suggesting that Waddingham wasn’t pretty enough for TV. Waddingham seems to have grown into her beauty. Look at these shots from earlier…

It’s a little strange to complain about height restrictions for Annie.  Isn’t there a really good reason to worry about the height of performers there?

Right. It’s like someone complaining that no one was interested in their pitch for a Robert Oppenheimer biopic. It’s not like the premise itself is inherently awesome. When you combine a director critics and audiences love, a script based on a Pulitzer Prize-winning book, and a cast that includes Matt Damon and Robert…

Someone should tell AV Club authors they aren’t required to buy into every claim of grievance a Hollywood celebrity announces.

Yeah. I think that kind of cost depended on the show becoming a kind of buzzy hit that women embraced as a cultural moment — like Barbie or Ally McBeal. It didn’t do that. 

It’s great that a season so preoccupied with evil Republicans takes place in October and November 2019. The show never mentions it expressly, but that means the jump ahead to the sunnier, more optimistic One Year Later takes place in early November 2020 — Trump losing reelection.

Came here to note the parallel with No Country for Old Men, so I was glad you’d already made it — a killer, long after the violence is seemingly over, returns to kill a woman because of a warped code that commits him to doing the things he’s said he’ll do. And Carla Jean did basically make the same argument Dot made,…

So many of the articles on this site these days read as a random hodgepodge of gripes, with links trying to drive traffic to old articles.

I buy it. My sense is that making a realistic CGI humanoid character is really hard. As viewers, we have really detailed knowledge of how humans move and look, so we’re quick to identify uncanny qualities.

I agree. A lot of shows could learn a lesson from this episode for how to explain who all your characters are in a way that feels natural, not like characters are explaining things to each other that they obviously all know. The relationships and tensions between the characters played by Foster, Hawkes, and Prior…

I’m also not sure the “glossier” style of the Prometheus movies is inconsistent with the grittier look of the Alien movies. The humans in the Alien movies all have unglamorous, blue collar jobs — space tug operators, soldiers, prison guards. It’s not surprising that the places where these people work look worn,…

That’s a successful marketing strategy. Awareness of The Beekeeper can only decrease your willingness to see The Beekeeper.

I feel like studio executives should take note of how box office numbers are a lot more forgiving when you don’t spend, say, $130 million to make and market a Color Purple musical.

If you think your two friends’ reviews are in conflict, that doesn’t bode well for how you’ll feel about The Beekeeper.

Maybe the author thinks he’s alive, but not punctual.  

So a bunch of Christians peacefully (albeit stupidly) protested the movie The Last Temptation of Christ, but the movie screened anyway, and both its director and cast have gone on to have extremely successful careers, unmarred by any apparent lingering animosity.

Recent news suggests that being a schemer looking to make a buck is a common trait for Clarence Thomases.
