I found it patronising myself - I would assume the average AV Club reader doesn’t need handholding like that - but each to their own.

And Master and Commander. I really wish that had turned into a franchise given the number of books they could have adapted.

How is the Kirk Douglas thing surprisng? Between the horse, occasional Ren bits, and George Liquor that show was like 1/3rd Douglas impressions by weight.

Bill Hader, obviously ...

Forget Polanski, what I want to know is, who is going to play Robert Evans?

I’ve never seen the stage musical and I never will, but my impression from watching the movie was that this has always been a silly and horrible work of camp, and that the movie generally adapted that tone faithfully. Like, I can’t imagine what changes might have taken place in the film’s development process that…

In any decent society, Trump should get <5% of the vote. So congratulations Black women, you are the only demographic in America to prove worthy of the right to vote.

That’s was a big letdown. I’d say this whole post had no value except rewatching the Mulaney bit, which is still funny and enjoyable.

It’s interesting that he didn’t list Peeping Tom, which he’s said is one of his favourite films. I wonder if that’s because he considers it a straight thriller, even though I’d argue that it’s more disturbing than Psycho.

I can’t stomach watching Bolton. One thing I wonder is if Colbert held his feet to the fire for going along with Trump’s bizarre courtship of North Korea, complete with love letters. If Colbert didn’t, he missed the best opportunity to make his head explode.

If there was a god (there isn’t), this living shit monster would be hanging by his balls fifty feet over Times Square right now. I wonder how many times Colbert wanted to leap through the screen and just beat him to death.

I know you said films, but I gotta say the idealism of The West Wing is nigh-unwatchable these days. 

If Donny molested a Girl Scout today it would be out of the news by Friday because of two other horrible things he did or said and his approval rating wouldn’t fall below 40%.

Is it cynical of me to wonder if he finally did something to piss off Scientology, they stopped protecting him, and that’s really the only reason he’s currently getting charged?

Fuck Danny Masterson. I’m here for the Be Your Own Pet nostalgia.
