Ugghhhh and that half human, half Dalek abomination. Noooooo thank you.

Back in time to when they were finishing up the Empire State Building? Great, now on top of everything they have to deal with the Daleks,

I would read the shit out of Starchitectural Digest, consistently and thoroughly.

That’s true, but Breihan is much more favorable towards other Biblical epics, like Ten Commandments, Ben Hur and Spartacus. And that’s because each film supports itself with a single throughline. The problem with The Bible (the film) is it really should have been 7 movies, not one. Or a TV series. I mean, imagine a

Starring Dom DeLuise as Lew Ciffer!

it was on Carell’s head, obviously, to decide whether two beloved sitcom casts would be forced to slaughter each other in the streets—blood flowing in the gutters

“Mister President, we’ve lost the knitters!”

“Mister President, we’ve lost the knitters!”

The worst thing about this poor episode? When Krieger’s space head dies, Krieger doesn’t say, “Ah, Spacely” ... I mean, that was such an obvious callback and they missed the beat. 

Sure, Amazon, your dumb Lord of the Rings series is what you need to be relevant. Not the tiny, beloved by fans and critics shows that are too weird for network TV that you can make your brand on.

“Empire of The Sun” is most certainly art.

Star Wars: After Dark...tell me more...

Throughout the 3 sequels I was DYING for an adult Star Wars. Okay, it couldn’t be R-rated. Another problem with trying to make a movie for the next generation of 9-year-olds.

It’s hard to pick one misstep out of that mountain of terrible ideas, but to me condensing the Clone Wars into a relatively small-scale battle was such a massive letdown.  Just the name implies an epic, years-spanning scale that the film completely tosses over the side.

The hell? I found the first two episodes to be pretty much perfect (maybe a little heavy on the narration), while the Forrest Gump-esque interlude in this one just dragged.

In my day, you hung an onion from your belt, as it was the fashion at the time.

I’m disappointed Mel Brooks never spoofed the prequels with Spaceballs 3: The Search for Spaceballs 2.

AV Club: Kinja was pretty disappointing.

Fun fact: the carrier featured in The Voyage Home was actually the non-nuclear USS Ranger (CV-61), playing the role of Enterprise (CVN 65).

What the fuck!? I really liked this show! They finally had a strong Thursday line up again with Superstore, AP Bio, and Brooklyn 99. The cast was also phenomenal.
