I thought Barton’s speech was OTT. It was like someone reading a Gizmodo article out loud.

Haven’t had time to watch this yet, but if it gets us a couple of Alasdair Wilkins reviews back into the AVC, it’s existence is justified. Good to read your writing again! Going to the Part 2 screening of Dr Who in the theater today.  Miss your recaps.  

What makes you say that? Humorless and dumb, I can see, but consistently painting them in the Nazi tableau in the movies is certainly not making them the good guys. Or is it something in the cartoons? I haven’t seen any of the cartoons.

John Mulaney says: “Don’t forget to tip your servers!”

I understand there’s only so much you can cover in a busy NFL week, but I’m really disappointed not to see a shout out to K Harlan’s “I’m calling BOTH games!”  It was everything good about the NFL.  

The only way I’d see Doolittle in the theater is if I were forcibly subjected to it, Clockwork Orange style. Thank god my kids are older.  

I was laughing so hard, I must have missed it.  

Ignorance will truly be bliss.  

More like Voldemort.  When he actually dementor’d Rey/Ben, I checked out.  

Dr Who

I said the almost exact same line about 3 seconds before it happened, but the 3 finger thing left me dead.

Let me preface this by saying that I was disappointed by walking back Rey being nobody. I thought that was a fantastic idea. The only thing that made more sense by Rey being “somebody”, is Lukes reluctance to train her and his terror at her being drawn to the “dark hole” and her connection to Kylo. In retrospect,…

This show is really entertaining, but such a strange mix of contradictions. It’s unabashedly exploitative and yet the script is obviously meant to engender sympathy for the exploited. It’s also virulently anti-socialist. I need to know more of the history of Calanthe/Ciri’s family and the breakdown of the…

I think you stopped thinking about it a tick too early, her name/family doesn’t define her. Rey is a good person, and she comes to realize this, that her focus on her missing family was keeping her from trusting herself/instincts as her own entity. I partially agree with the changing her name thing. I wish she had…

Thing 1&2 and I all yelled when he went Mr Salt-style into the forge.

Am I on candid camera?

The fun of Buckwheat is trying to figure out the song before he gets to the chorus. Kind of like ‘Name that tune” but with Eddie Murphy being funny. Try it that way and see if it helps. The capping gag originally is that the makers of the album can’t figure out “Betty Davis Eyes’ even when he gets to the chorus.  I…

He’s great in RoS.  He almost saves it.  Almost.  

SPOILERS don’t read if you haven’t seen the movie.

I think it’s actually either John Corbett or Brecken Meyer circa Clueless.
