So we're all agreed that the third Star Wars movie is going to suck, right? I mean, Trevorrow is now 0 for 3.

There's just something icky about how this plot reduces people to their body in the most extreme ways (as a sex object and as an actual dead body). Very Bad Things was rightfully accused of being misogynist, and I don't think the gender swapping makes it okay. It's the "What's bad for the goose is bad for the gander"…

I've also met people who love the movie and fully endorse the film and the idea that only the military should be given the rights of citizenship. (Naturally, these people have never actually served in the military). The fact that the film can pull in the gullible is just more evidence of the film's power and the razor…

I've seen this movie dozens of times, and I think I get a little something new out of it each time. I've never been able to figure out why it's so underrated. I think most critics sincerely didn't know that it was satire.

As a dumb kid, I didn't realize this movie was supposed to be satire, and I remember getting upset that we're supposed to root for a bunch of space Nazis and that no one in the film thinks the society they live in a horrible dictatorship. Of course, that's the point. And when I revisited this movie about ten years…

I probably shouldn't have opened the interview with "Here's the problem with Italians…," especially since they asked me to tell them a little about my qualifications.

Oh, man. I can relate, Lithgow. Like, I completely sabotaged that job interview I had last week. I mean, who needs more money and better benefits? That stuff is totally unnecessary. Thank God I'm not getting that job!

Because from the snippets I've seen, Girls kind of sucks. You can sample something and know it's not for you. I will concede that maybe the sampling of the show I have seen isn't indicative of overall quality. But I'm also kind of over the privileged twenty-somethings find themselves in New York narrative.

There are situations, like Styron's The Confessions of Nat Turner, where this sort of cross-cultural representation is a disaster. But that's a problem with execution rather than a problem inherent in the idea.

Michael Chabon got called out for making one of his protagonists in Telegraph Avenue black, so I can see why some artists are reluctant to tackle the experiences of other people, even though one of the great aspects of art is that it can help us see the world through the perspective of those who aren't like us.

This is a solid show, but it does suffer when compared with the novel, which is such a perfectly wrought, claustrophobic work. I actually think that once they deviate from the source material and I'm comparing the two works less, then the show might get better.

I've only seen snippets of Girls, so I can't speak with much authority on the show. I guess I just assumed that Lena Dunham writes about white, privileged twenty-somethings because the people she knows are white, privileged twenty-somethings. This is also why I don't watch the show, because that sounds really…

And if she had said that Spielberg needs to do more to make sure underrepresented groups are allowed behind the camera, then I would agree completely. He should do more to make sure women and people of color are better represented as creative forces.

I question the value of calling out a single artist when it comes to representation, which is a systemic issue in Hollywood. As a man, Spielberg is likely going to be better at representing the male experience (not that he can't try and represent the experience of those different from him). If you're concerned about…

I thought the same thing about season two of True Detective!

"Better to reign in Winterfell, than to serve in King's Landing."

Now she can really get those brats, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, to behave.

Mrs. Beakley looks ripped.

So this is going to be like a modern day Fawlty Towers but with more head shots?

But she really challenges the preconceived notion that comedians are supposed to be funny.
