Polanski a clown? I suppose I’m not in any position to object, as I haven’t seen “The Fearless Vampire Killers”, but I don’t think it’s the first thing anyone would associate with him.

The first season has the characters thinking they’re in an episodic police procedural, except they’re actually in a surreal nightmare. Will gradually losing his mind over the course of it only to reveal he was in a trap he never anticipated was a tremendous coup. The second season was hampered by the boldness of the…

I think the best season is the first one, but Mizumono is the best episode. Season 3 retroactively makes it worse. The ending of season 3 is a bad episode, but could arguably serve as the more conclusive ending. If Fuller ever manages to revive the show though, that would undo even that.

Kids on the street! Kids on the beat! Beat Kids! Beat Kids!

King’s favorite adapter, Frank Darabont

I haven’t watched this series and only skimmed the article for the general commentary on prequels. And as a pedant, I should note that your list of examples extends beyond the past “few” years.

Team America: World Police already perfected that.

My understanding is that he had already broken up with Mia Farrow. Soon Yi has said Woody was never a father to her, although since she’s married to him she consistently sticks up for him.

This will work just as well as the last time he teamed up with a younger comic actor in “The Comedians” on FX.

I was still a student back then without funds for extra harddrives, so when mine failed I had to start back from the beginning, and never did replace all those Metallica or Iron Maiden tracks. Not too long after that I also lost the CD collection that I kept in my car when that broke down out of state. A year or so…

Yeah, punk was something I only heard about rather than actually heard prior to Bearshare/Kazaa. And it wasn’t that long ago that I found the album “Curses” by Ringers uploaded in one of those zip files on a blogspot site.

At 1100 pages, that is an impressive afternoon of reading.

If you’re going to show anyone new to Pera any episode, it should be Church Announcements.

I think Pizzagators sound like a fun kind of animal.

A good Bayesian can update based on other elements of Allen’s behavior, but molesting a kid is significantly different from dating a post-pubescent teenager. The latter is at the extreme end of a common distribution, the former is an atypical pathology.

How does it compare to the shark fight in Zombi 2?

The Academy loves biopics, which typically have lots of white roles. And plenty of existing IP features white characters, which are much more likely to be played by a gay actor than a black one.

Not nearly as hard as it is for a black actor to play a white role.

The AV Club review is right that Chapter 2 is not very good and Hader dominates basically every seen he’s in. I’d note that James Ransome’s Eddie also gets a lot of jokes, although more on the receiving end.

Speaking of Swedes and Brits, Claire Foy should play the British Lara Croft while Alica Vikander plays the Swedish Lisbeth Salander. I don’t know what studio flunky mixed those two up, but it can be corrected in the sequels if we all just pretend like nothing happened.
