the AV Club turned into Slate so fast I hardly noticed.

aside from it being brilliant?

I'm not a Trump supporter by any means, but the man has taste. He plays opera and musical theater at his rallies. He has taste.

over the last couple of years a fan theory has developed that says Tesla's machine didn't actually work. I'm not sure I buy it, but it would be *just like* Nolan to throw in a huge twist like that and never tip his hand.

it has to be Kristen Bell.

Through the Looking Glass was my favorite novel growing up, and this looks nothing like it.

I loved the quote about how the trick to getting what you want is to be so miserable that you don't want it anymore. I've often felt that. and Quinten's rejoinder - "what kind of system is that? why can't it run on love? or cocaine?" is heartbreaking.

Hastings and Miss Lemon, Neville and Luna, Belle and Sebastian (or at least the two characters who go by those names in all their songs), Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen, Sarah Jane and the Doctor.

Alice Eve is terrific, I loved her in The Mystery of the Blue Train episode of Poirot.

The Philadelphia Story!

my first dime! I'll never spend ye!

Gollum!

that would've been an amazing concert.

If it's any consolation, Todd VanDerWerff said the fourth episode is a major turning point in the series quality-wise, and it seems to have blown him away.

This is such a great, uncanny, atmospheric movie; definitely my favorite cinematic version of Macbeth.

I grew up terrified of clowns AND cotton candy after someone subjected me to Killer Klowns from Outer Space when I was five or six years old.

Knight of Cups looks so good. Young Messiah and Risen! do not.

that sounds so much better than the book, which was a terrible disappointment.

it also insults the good name of Middle-Earth, which, believe it or not, used to be a respected brand prior to 2012.
