This whole discussion seems crazy to me, because there is literally no reason, especially for someone with Woody Allen’s brand recognition, to publish a book through a publisher anyway. These days, a third of the bestseller list is always self published indy stuff. Woody could certainly afford the $200 to $400 to have…

I don’t believe you. I would bet a million dollars that at least one person on this list quotes Big Trouble in Little China and/or Pee Wee’s Big Adventure more often than the movie they listed.

Replace Neil deGrasse Tyson with Janna Levin, and you’ve got yourself a stew going.

I don’t know how much of the old magic they’ll manage to recapture, but I do know that Dave Foley can still write a good weird monologue, so that’s something to look forward to. I really hope Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet are coming back with them.

I’d like to see a sequel where she is corrupted by the power of invisibility, and becomes the new villain.

This is a weird story when you read all of it. Some of the stuff she says sounds completely true, and other parts are obviously a lie (like saying she had no idea, at 14 (the age of consent in Canada at the time) why the guys were inviting them back to the hotel room). I don’t know what to think. Aside from: maybe…

Don’t fret. In the book Holly kills it with a sock full of ball bearings. If that were going to happen in the show, we’d have seen the sock and ball bearings by now, so none of us have any idea how the show is going to end. Or if it is going to end at all, since they’re calling the final episode a “season finale”.

Flavor Flav doesn’t play any instruments in Public Enemy songs. As far as I know, the two DJs (Terminator X and later DJ Lord) are the ones responsible for all the actual music under the lyrics. I’ve seen them live, and Flav is just a mascot (or hype man, in the parlance of hip hop). Like all mascots, he is a symbol…

I like to imagine this story playing out as a series of hilarious smash cuts.

That “season finale” thing was very weird. And pretty much spoils the final episode, since the monster will need to survive and escape for anything like a second season to be possible.

My weekend has been very “of the moment” compared to my usual diet of movies and television from the 60s and 70s...

Well, Chuck D is the living voice of revolution, and Flavor Flav is a burned out chickenhead court jester brought in to provide comic relief for a band that was so serious and on message at all times that it actually needed comic relief. So I’m going to go ahead and side with Chuck on this one.

What Sony has said, I believe, is that they’re hoping to make Dreams content accessible on platforms other than the ps4, somewhere down the line. It didn’t sound like a port, though, so much as they are looking for ways to export some of the better creations from Dreams and make them available in other formats.

You can either have a twitter account, or insist you and your subject be treated with a sense of respect and gravitas, but you have to pick one.

Does that softball song from the Simpsons count?

It’s not bad, really, it just feels like a big step backwards. This show is a contemporary of The Goode Family, or the Cleveland Show. Watching it now, when the standards for animation are more substantial, well thought out, pov-centric offerings like Tuca & Bertie, Bojack Horseman, and Big Mouth, Duncanville feels…

Last episode was a lot of dithering, too. I will be glad when this story gets moving again. I wouldn’t mind, had it been released all at once, since The Outsider is clearly structured for binge watching, but this week by week schedule they’ve landed on exaggerates every slow beat in the story by several orders of…

There’s actually a much better version of this same article at Entertainment Weekly where they have a panel of seven different Oscar voters discussing their votes.

I laughed at the “Vasquez Rocks” insert. They’ve used those rocks and the surrounding area to film Star Trek episodes and hundreds of other things for decades in Hollywood, and finally the rocks get their moment in the spotlight, without having to pretend to be the surface of some alien world. Go, rocks!

Snake leaf! She is vaping snake leaf. I don’t know what that is, but I better be able to buy a strain of weed named after it the next time I’m in a dispensary.
