“It is still our hope that anyone who wants to see this movie will get the opportunity to do so”

Also, I feel like the words "non-credible threat" (per Homeland fucking Security) should be emblazoned over every article about this. There is no realistic possibility that something will happen within one of these theaters, and certainly not the one in YourNeckOfTheWoodsVille, Idaho.

I'm a sucker for Adnan impressions myself, this one included.

I'm a little annoyed by the thinkpieces about what a revelatory ending this show will have if it doesn't deliver answers. That's, like, standard form for true-crime. That's every episode of Unsolved Mysteries, pre-update.

The annual list of unproduced screenplays (as opposed to un-bought screenplays) has been released every year since 2004, and has spawned films fromThat’s My Boy to The Social Network.

I do question how the show will continue now that the Innocence Project is aboard. I was a little annoyed by Koenig's continued hemming and hawing even after a team of extremely adept, trained lawyers all agreed that there was pretty much no case against Adnan. Feels like they're working too hard to force ambiguity…

I really like these events as a way of bringing (hopefully decent) theater to people who may not have great access to it. I think it's kind of a shame that it's being so widely derided as a concept—live stagings of famous plays sounds like an excellent concept to me.

I don't even know why there's something to "defend." Who ever heard of someone getting mad at an artist for not pursuing a specific platform to play their music on? Feels like the definition of entitlement.

I can understand not being a fan of Sondheim or the show (actually, not really, but I'm trying to give a little here!) but most of the appeal for this one does come from the second act. I have a friend who watched the taping of the first act like three times before he ever saw the second, and he never understood the…

Yeah, it's even more painful for me interpreted as him watching his loved one die—focusing on the minute details of the waiting room, getting at the weird boredom of being in the hospital waiting on someone, yada yada yada. Never occurred to me it might be from the dying's perspective. Very interesting take!

I've only recently gotten into Pogo courtesy of the outstanding new collections. The art is incredible, the jokes are really brilliant—I'm not even into the political stuff yet, but it's all just so well-structured. Very much seeing its influence on C&H and happy to have discovered it.

Yeah, as someone who's generally a grammar/usage pedant, this is one where I always take note when someone makes the distinction, and not in a good way. Get this one wrong, guys! I'll be glad ya did.

I actually like Redbox a lot and use it a fair amount (well, okay, I have phases where I use it a lot, then stop for a long time). It's nice to be able to get a BluRay very cheaply and know that I'll be watching the highest-quality home video version of a movie, without worrying about buffering, yada yada yada. And…

So that's what Scott Tobias's Twitter pic is from.

That's an uproar I can at least understand. Historical preservation, including/especially the ugly and unfortunate parts, is important.

I'm loving this thread. Movie theaters are where I watch the vast majority of the films I see, and I love it that way. Very, very rarely do I have a bad experience.

Based on my experiences watching intelligent, well-spoken friends of mine ask questions at Q&As, something happens to you when you stand up in front of the mic. I've seen the best speakers of my generation destroyed by asking uncharacteristically inane or poorly-phrased questions. The pressure's just too much.

Absolutely one of my favorites. Admittedly, almost entirely on the back of Quantum Leap and the fact that he's from my hometown, but he also happens to be an incredibly friendly guy from everything I've seen, and a great performer.

Have you watched End of Evangelion yet? That should definitely make your brain hurt less.

Random Roles with Scott Bakula. You couldn't have announced a better feature for me.
