According to the book “Come And Knock On Our Door,” the issue wasn’t her standing up for herself--she was holding up production by no-showing constantly (the writers were reduced to writing two scripts, and which one they used depended on whether she showed up or not) and basically being horrible to nearly everyone.…

Scientology is a helluva drug

awful people?!?  I bet most people would KILL to have 3 close friends like they all had. They were there for each other all the time, so they werent pc and disingenuous like most people, thats what made them so LIKEABLE.

I’d forgotten how well-written and acted the original was. It was literally my favorite sitcom for years... and I just forgot about it?

“I don’t like the potty talk.” — man whoring himself on television

Welcome to AV Club!

Ok, so why did the episode get a B-?

Even better was when they’d bust into a room and yell “NCIS!!” yet no one was like “...who???  Is that supposed to mean something?”

NCIS is the slipperiest show I’ve ever tried to watch. I’ve seen at least one hundred episodes of the various incarnations and I could not tell you the plot of any single episode. Even if I’m watching it’s background noise.

I’m sure he was having a good time with the role, but once you got past the obvious “why is there a goth chick in the goddamned Navy” question, there was always the “why is a darling old Britisher who looks like he got sprung from a P.G. Wodehouse novel the M.E. on an American armed-forces cop show?” issue

Right? Something about how in part 2 you suddenly see a bunch of tattooed women working in an old-timey operator room to issue contract killings definitely strained my suspension of disbelief. And offering more background isn’t going to improve the situation I fear.

Based on the description of what was cut, I hope not. The last thing that film needed was more meandering, overlong improv scenes.

I’m still trying to parse the first sentence of this review. But anyway, I never thought the Wick movies really deserved any kind of deeper analysis or lore coherence; the intended point is “lots of cool action scenes” and I’d cast a wary eye at anyone who actually cared about this nonsensical world’s lore.

I cannot explain or justify my love of ‘Alita’, but there it is. Endlessly rewatchable and the perfect “home sick on a rainy day” flick.

It’s really hard to explain to kids these days what it was like being a teenager before the internet and cell phones.

One thing I personally like about the movie is that it is actually positive and upbeat towards the characters. Mitch is a completely unremarkable kid who Pink takes under his wing because Pink is a genuinely nice guy, in addition to being the star QB. Mitch gets a pass from his parents for staying out late. Anthony…

Dude is a conspiracy nut job You Tuber now, he’s been digging his own grave for some time now.

Yeah, since I had mostly checked out on The Daily Show by the time he got there, and I never watched his Netflix show, the most I’ve seen of this guy was his Celebrity Jeopardy appearance where he was very “Hey, look at ME!” but not at all in a funny, self-aware way.

I was a fan.. but between this and how obnoxious he acted on Celebrity Jeopardy, I’m out.

An entertaining episode, but, yeah, the entire point of the flashbacks is muddy as hell.
