Commercials have been playing pretty frequently on network television. The problem with the trailers is that it emphasizes this idea that when they come back from the dead they have special abilities. It looks like another one of those “unlocked the brain’s full potential!” movies, not a horror film. Granted, from…

I consider ninjas to be an early-80's thing; at least, that’s when it peaked. My early 80's childhood was inundated with very bad ninja movies, controversies over banning throwing stars, ninjas being introduced in Marvel Comics, etc.

When I was in college I had my wisdom teeth removed and was still pretty dental-drugged up when I went home and my mom showed me the live action “Casper” movie, which she thought I’d want to see for some reason. And I started choking up at the end because Christina Ricci couldn’t get with the CG ghost.

“I don’t do any material that borders on pornography yet.” That is a priceless use of “yet.”

My wife and I both thought it was Justin Timberlake playing Conor McGregor.

I’m not sure how to fix it using the Gizmodo design structure, but one thing I never liked about sites like io9 is that the headlines and images would be spoiling TV shows I wasn’t caught up on, like GoT. Now the AV Club is spoiling Defenders for me (I’ve only watched the first episode so far...loser that I am). In…

I think the religious theme does make Life of Brian less popular in the US (though I’ve met Christians who like the film). Look, we’ve got some hang-ups over here.

Perhaps our British commentariat can weigh in, but I always got the impression that Life of Brian was far more popular in the UK than it was in the US. Here in the States, it seems like Holy Grail is brought up all the time and Brian is seldom discussed. (I think it was smart of Eric Idle to pick Holy Grail as the…

Yes, I was all focused on the new commenting system coming up and didn’t realize the whole site would look exactly like other Gizmodo sites (but of course it would). I miss the TV Club page and search screen where I could look for TV shows. But maybe it’s here somewhere. I don’t know.

Independent's OK and we'll let the dog off the hook for being a Mexican. No impeachment yet.

Well what party is the chihuahua?

Is it sponge-worthy?

Spinal Tap leans over and whispers, "Fasc-IST."

I remember when First Day of Camp came out, they had the film so people could get caught up before watching the series. Personally, I would like to see the whole WHAS saga get collected in a big Criterion box set. (And stop making them here, please. The ending was a perfect place to conclude all these stories.)

Definitely stick with it for a few more. I can't say I was blown away by the first episode, but I was by the season as a whole.

I've never watched Fringe (always meant to) so I can't properly compare. Maybe Fringe was more scientific, but it always seemed to me that the X-Files liked to give an explanation even though it would be based in pseudo-science.

Funny, I'm always torn on that one because it's so well written (*cough* Vince Gilligan *cough*) but it seems a little too fantasy for the world of the X-Files. It's a great hour of TV, it just never felt very X-Files to me.

At the time, The X-Files and The Simpsons were the pillars that held Fox up, so I'm sure Carter was offered a ton of cash to keep going. But it was pretty unhealthy for the show (even though some good episodes were still to come).

Mulder and Scully are still entertaining to watch today. They help you get through the bad episodes.

I'd say Season 1 has a lot of rough spots since they were still figuring things out. (Now Mulder's afraid of fire! Now the face on Mars is haunting astronauts!) Kumail Nadjiani's X-Files podcast is a good guide as he skips over the bad ones (for the most part). Seasons 2 and 3 are the best overall, and marked the…
