Well, I'm sure activists won't just let this go unanswered. They'll express their outrage with their favorite, time-honored tactic: By avoiding voting in real elections that actually have consequences at all costs.

Interesting concept, but what if we turned it around? What current TV shows should really just be downgraded to podcasts? And I don't mean exclusively talk shows, but scripted series as well.

The first has some pretty inspired moments that I still chuckle about when I think of them. Two I felt was a major disappointment. Couldn't marshal the interest to see the third.

Yeah no kidding A.V. Club, there's this thing called "going out of style." Sometimes things then come back into style after a time, but often they don't.

For whatever reason I always think of "There Will be Blood" as the quintessential film of the late Bush/Cheney era. I also think that, over time, it has held up better than that year's best picture winner, which never seemed like more than your standard Cohen Brothers flick to me.

The UK version was also fairly trashy, but it never really crossed the line into truly incredible, like having the President's close advisor and soon to be sworn-in chief of staff roaming around in a van, stalking some girl in New Mexico, smack in the middle of the New Hampshire primary, and totally unnoticed all the…

I've only seen the first of these, and that was once about 10 years ago. What I recall is there's a lot of potential for an interesting story - you've got a seemingly ordinary guy suddenly pulled into a strange, fantastical, hidden world and thrust at the center of an ages-old conflict. You've got lots of potential…

I am prepared to accept the proposition that Bill Murray can travel between dimensions. That has nothing to do with "Space Jam," which I've never seen.

In all fairness, he was pretty much regarded as God in the greater Chicagoland area at that time.

I feel "Mad Men" did a good job a couple of seasons back of resolving the main characters' storylines, or at least depicting where they were headed by the series' end. That's the only one I can think of at the moment.

Honestly, is there anything left on the creative team's contracts? Because reading the reviews/reactions, this really does feel like a "Let's just burn it all down so they won't ask us back, and we can focus on more lucrative projects" job.

Haven't seen it yet, but I read the summary of the plot on Vox, and it sounded like the most needlessly convoluted, illogical, and frankly dumb thing I've heard in a while. Considering I've recently seen the 1985 "classic" Gymkata for the very first time, that's saying a lot. I've never watched much "Elementary," but…

A multi-episode (or season - Bates has run for five) Birds could get a little, uh, repetitive ("Oh no, it looks like the birds are going to attack us AGAIN!"). How about Rear Window? This time, Jeffrey could delve a little more deeply into the lives of the other residents he observes besides Thorwald, or maybe even do…

They could just end it with her checking in.

The article is about "Rogue One", not "The Force Awakens." Sorry to be glib, but your reaction (which I've seen echoed by a few other folks) simply puzzles me. "Rogue One" is probably the first time since "The Empire Strikes Back" that I can actually remember being bothered to give a damn about any of the characters …

Relatively early in this show's run I was listening to a morning radio show that had Hollywood Reporter critic Tim Goodman on as a guest. He was talking about media upfronts or something, and he started going on about how he got a chance to hang out with the cast and how they all cool people, "just like the ones they…

"It's just Abrams dumb mystery box approach. I have no idea whatsoever … what his motivations are…" You know, was it in the story in "Time" where it said the reception area of Ahrams' office has a shelf with the board game version of, like, every movie franchise imaginable? I really think that's his basic approach to…

I'm not sure it would be. People can buy different actors as James Bond or Batman depending upon the quality of the script, the production, and the performance. If people can suspend disbelief enough to pretend that a man who died 22 years ago is actually a living character inhabiting the same time and space as other…

*Imperial March theme; black clad baddie appears with lightsaber.*

The poor man's "Top Cat."
