You'd think the bare minimum requirement to play Han Solo would be the ability to hold an American accent for longer than fifteen seconds.

You better not get rid of your landline quite yet, Internet, because you sure as hell can still phone it in.

Ben Stiller, you dog. I did not know they were married.

These are multibillion dollar companies making money off the work of these artists, so I don't think it's unreasonable for them to expect a bigger piece of the pie. Youtube isn't exactly hurting.

And beyond that, it was a major plot point later on (season five or six?). They dealt with Mulder having a crisis of faith already. There's no need to play that tune again.

You just have to wait until aughts nostalgia jumps into high gear.

I know the show was on the air for nine years, and it's hard not to repeat yourself, but they already did the "IT WAS JUST THE GOVERNMENT" plot, and they did it better a decade ago. It's like Chris Carter doesn't even watch his own show.

But the reason it was sometimes hit or miss is because they had to make 22 episodes a season. Back when that was the norm, every show was hit or miss. There's no real excuse for including the awful first and last episodes when they only had six episodes for the revival.

I've defended Chris Carter's writing earlier in the series, but, my God, his work on this revival was abysmal. I'll give him the Duchovny tripping on LSD scene because it isn't something you expect to see in the X-Files, but the first and last episodes played out like fan fiction.

On second thought, burn it to the ground.

I wonder which studio exec decided that she would play the straightwoman role in every single comedy from 1998-2008?

Oh, yeah. They hit it out of the park.

Don't knock Billy Zane. His performance in The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption was one of the highlights of the film.

The original Zoolander has a couple of good gags, but the hit-to-miss ratio is pretty bad. I think it's survived in popular memory thanks to the ability to rewatch the few good moments on Youtube.

The more I think about it, the more I disagree with the idea that Scream left no lasting mark. There were a few knock off films following Scream's success, but they quickly faded. I think Scream effectively put an end to the slasher genre and horror had to come up with something new to replace it. In this case, that

I think Randy had sort of run his course. I felt the same way when I originally watched Scream 2 because Randy was the character movie geeks could identify with, but he's a little less endearing years later.

Remember back in the late nineties when women were going to hair salons and asking for the Scream 2?

I've always really liked this series. I think what makes it work is that the series really cares about the characters. This does hurt the sequels slightly, because you realize they won't kill off the big three.

That "avenge a son he hardly knew" line kind of cracks me up. I guess it's because it shows how perfunctory the plot is.

From the title, I was expecting a rebootquel where the actual characters from The Dirty Dozen are sent to Hell. False advertising, man. Although, I guess it's just as well. Nobody's going to fill Lee Marvin's shoes.
