I mean, he was right. It’s a riveting scene. I love that movie. It’s B fare that elevates the shit out of itself with an incredibly stacked cast and the Harryhausen of it all. I hope they never try to remake it, because they definitely haven’t already.

He was right, it was one stone cold killing.

A guy next to me shushed us at one point.  He was there with his kid, who was probably 10, and I asked him exactly where the hell he thought he was.  The kid had clearly never seen his dad spoken to like that.

I really hope they’re going to tell Bass Reeves’ accurately. The dude was legendary. He knocked his slave owner out during a card game, then escaped to the Native American territory in Oklahoma. He learned their languages and tracking skills. After the Civil War, the Marshalls needed people who were familiar with the…

...actually you could probably make that work. With a little alteration and inspiration from Fight Club. Eric was adopted, Hyde is an alternate personality of his, and Hyde’s parents were actually Eric’s birth parents who abandoned him. Red, Kitty, and Laurie knew from an official diagnosis, with Red sarcastically…

I’m not referring to dropping him in the new series, I’m referring to the author’s description of who the original series focused on. 

And it was then decided that Hyde never existed.

Really? The characters she described sound right in SNL’s wheelhouse. Tell me you can’t see Cecily Strong or Kristen Wiig playing a reporter that acts sexy in inappropriate situations. Or Amy Poehler or Sarah Sherman playing a pill popping housewife who talks about what tails celebrities would have. Those sound very…

That feelng is “scaroused.”

Blessing in disguise. They wouldn’t have had the faintest idea what to do with her.

That’s the supernatural element present in almost all of his work, regardless of plot, characters, or setting. And I understand why he constantly goes back to that well, because the thought of that is terrifying.

I’ve always perceived it as a horror trope steeped in American guilt, as a form of generational revenge for indigenous genocide. 

Tell me more about this meth bar...

It reportedly uses the “howcatchem” format of Columbo, where the viewer knows the killer, so , yeah, pretty close.

So wait. Did... did the twitter meme about casting Natasha Lyonne in a reboot of Columbo basically happen?!

I need to go rewatch it, but I swear those guys were in blue uniforms, not grey. 

As long as they acknowledge the Dan’s real first name is Reinhold and that he played the accordion, I will be happy.

And he’s feeling much better now!

John Astin is still with us, and his appearances were one of my favorite parts of the original series. I hope they book a cameo quick!
