I wonder if this doc acknowledges the one time the Lawrence Welk band had a little too much caffeine and covered the Velvet Underground. Until it surfaced on YouTube, lore is that the episode was never aired and locked away in a vault lest their squeaky clean reputation be sullied from this performance of a little…

There’s something about the Tundra’s interior that just doesn’t feel as premium as the Ram’s:

Agreed. The Spaced series was really gaining steam in the second and last season. I think there were plenty more stories to tell.

Forgot about the Turn of the Screw aspect, but yes that’s right.

They are. I was being a tad generous with the ‘muse’ part.

I would love to see some new Poe adaptations, but I think Guillermo del Toro would be able to handle that material a lot better. I already think of him as a kind of contemporary Roger Corman, specifically with respect to the Poe cycle movies with Vincent Price. Of course, I will give Flanagan a chance with his take.

I bet he won’t let that happen again.

Hill House and Bly Manor have two common themes: 1) stories influenced by Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House, and 2) a haunted house.

Thank you for using “ingenious” instead of “genius”.

Midnight Mass was pretty decent right up until the last episode, where Flanagan laid it on way too thick with a bunch of extremely off-putting overly sentimental bullshit about life and death. The star of the whole show was definitely the priest, thanks to excellent acting from Hamish Linklater (whom I wasn’t…

Indeed, it needs to be a harmonic fart effect.

That is a good performance. I particularly enjoy the rehearsal.

Oh, wow. Didn’t know about sibling Peter.

As a longtime fan of Soundgarden, I’m tempted to agree. However, a lot of Queen fans said the same thing about replacing Freddie Mercury, but I’m of the opinion that Adam Lambert is an exceptional talent who has done a stellar job with that band, bringing in a lot of new fans, including myself (just had a mild…

Seems like there’s already been a run on Babybel cheeses, at least at two of my local grocery stores. You bastards.

*Ingenious is the word you were looking for.

I learned that word from io9, some eons ago.

I saw a newer Toyota Sienna the other day and until I saw the badge on the rear, I didn’t realize it was a Sienna or a minivan, because it looked like an extended Matrix or something non-minivan at first. It was like the picture below, which now does look sufficiently minivan-ish, but in person not as much.

Or the suit and tie Trump wore all the time. That’s what I think of when I see it.

A lot of people keep saying something like that lately, but what is an example of animation that is “actually decent”?
