"The original Kingsman was based on a comic book written by Mark Millar, but we don’t know if he’ll be quickly writing a sequel that the filmmakers can use a template for this movie, or if Secret Sequel will just be its own original story."

Huh, the Henry Rollins show sounds like it might involve actual history. How did that ever make it to the air?

On one hand, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that the movie is about Teddy Bear civil rights. On the other, what has happen to our society that this can happen?

The weird thing is that PERFECTLY describes Spiderman comics.

I also hear the youngsters love something they call "rock 'n roll" music.

I'm with Jesse Hassenger. I haven't watched Mad Men, House of Cards or Game of Thrones along with a boatload of popular shows. I think it's finally catching up with as I stop being able to make small talk with my peers. I'll probably break down soon enough.

Joss Whedon: If I had the chance, I would kill him again!

I remember they had not one, but two episodes where they have to get through a full caseload before midnight or BAD things would happen. Also, Mac married a Vietnamese woman first for a green card but then they fell in love.

Really? We want MORE Sean Penn vanity projects?

Viacom's biggest mistake, of course, was not understanding how many people take The Daily Show too seriously.

Just make Peter Parker black. Problem solved. (I'm shocked, SHOCKED Marvel spent a boatload of money to get Spiderman back for the MCU and then chose the marketable character known to the general public to headline it instead of listening to a subsection of comic book readers.)

"I was going to join the priesthood until I saw Wolf of Wall Street. Now I'm going to the Fixed Income desk at Goldman Sachs."

This is the first Zack Braff update that I liked in…. maybe ever.

The problem is that Jon Stewart, not the Daily Show, is the institution. If TDS has a couple great hosts in a row, it could afford to take a couple risks and have a couple lean years (see SNL). But something like the current TDS needs a really strong run to prove it's marketable without Stewart.

I don't know if Alec Baldwin's "Always Be Closing" speech in Glenngarry Glen Ross or Mr. Burns speaking to Springfield Elementary Achiever's Club best captures the capitalist ethos, but it's close.

Of all celebrities, it would only break my heart to find out Dwayne Johnson was a jerk in real life. Tom Hanks can be serial killer for all I care, but I need to BELIEVE in Mr. The Rock.

If I remember correctly, you were also Time's Person of the Year 2006.

Of course, Dudley Moore was chosen as the world's SECOND most influential thinker after appearing in the original Arthur.

I am here to make friends!

The fact that Hollywood buys these properties but then completely change them for the big screen suggests to me this is some sort of complicated money laundering scheme.
