The Keaton family discovers that Uncle Ned has started drinking again and decide to stage an intervention. During the course of the intervention, cracks start to show in the normally happy family facade, revealing secrets and anger that have long been hidden. Alex has wiped out his parent's retirement account by…

*waves hand* Speed force!

With a little editing to tighten up the sequence and get rid of the moments that fall flat, this could have been a fun addition. I actually enjoyed Apocalypse, even though it was kind of a mess.

Bill Murray's best "serious" roles often work because he always includes some element of comedy. Lost in Translation is more dramatic than Stripes, but Murray includes plenty of dry humor.

It's true. I had friends once.

This sounds like when you were in the seventh grade and an acquaintance at school thinks you're better friends than you really are, so when he invites you over to hang out at his house, you invent a bunch of chores your mom wants you to complete that are just so daunting you won't be able to come over today, sorry.

American Pastoral would be a difficult book to adapt for even a seasoned director. I'm not surprised that even a talented actor couldn't manage it his first time out as a director.

I bought realMyst a while ago. I think I'll have to go back and play that. It's pretty cool that so many indie games have taken inspiration from Myst while doing their own thing, often by shifting from the puzzles to the narrative and environment. I think we're quietly going through an adventure game renaissance.

It's hard to find the time to write all those comic books when you're preparing yourself for the upcoming national beard growing competition.

For some reason, when I first heard about this record, I thought it would be Jack White stripping down and rerecording some old songs as well as releasing some B-sides. I would have actually paid for that.

I guess gimmick vinyl isn't selling like it used to.

Work hard, play hard.

It's not exactly clear whether Spurlock is directing or just producing the project, at least not from this article. I thought Supersize Me was a decent documentary with a catchy gimmick, but I haven't liked anything else I've seen by him. The Greatest Movie Ever Sold also had a solid gimmick, but not a whole lot else…

When I heard that Schmilco was going to be all acoustic, I'll admit that I was a little worried. This approach has sunk other groups and songwriters. But I think there are enough subtle details here to make the alum interesting the entire way through.

Oh, yes. I'm perfectly aware of this. My sister worked on a high school production of Into the Woods, and they had to be extremely careful that the outfits of the characters would be recognizable to the audience but far enough away from Disney's version lest the company sue the shit out of the high school.

The Whole Love seems overlooked to me. I honestly almost wrote off Wilco after the self-titled album, which felt like a bunch of B-sides. The Whole Love brought me back into the fold and it's still one of my favorite of theirs.

One of the reasons why I love this series is because it reminds me that there was a time when directors were able to shoot and frame a great action sequence, which should be an absolute must for anyone working in a visual medium like film. It seems like during the first decade and a half of the twenty-first century…

That was rude. Didn't your mother ever teach you to have some curd-esy?

This is starting to feel like a bottle episode.

Disney is kicking themselves right now. And their lawyers are trying to figure out how to retroactively extend copyright law to cover a fifteen hundred year old legend.
