I like how the film establishes that medication would, in fact, help get rid of Diana, but still chooses an ending that involves a gun instead. Great message, movie.

Heh, I notice no one here in the comments picked Captain Archer. Because he's terrible.

I think it's pretty obviously Captain Picard, although Janeway has an honorable mention for keeping a cool head in the hugest clusterfuck of a situation.

I'm surprised no one mentioned Bill Cosby as the Devil in The Devil and Max Devlin. Chalk it up to my childhood love of Elliot Gould (which I still don't understand) but I love that movie. And Bill Cosby makes a weirdly convincing lord of Hell.

"Keep an open mind" about what, exactly?

You know what? When I start an online hate brigade to attack people on the basis of their skin color and gender (or hey, while we're at it, religious affiliation hey Nero?), you have my full permission to take away my Twitter privileges.

Lysistrata should be used as a verb more often.

"If you're someone with a strong opinion who expresses controversial
viewpoints to a large number of followers, and amongst those followers
are some idiots who then go and send vile tweets to whoever you were
talking about, you get kicked off Twitter"

I love how one lady's reply was "Unfollowed." Like seriously lady, THAT'S why you decided to unfollow Martin Shkreli? He's human garbage.

This was discussed on the Dana Gould podcast. Mike Murphy (who is one of the few conservatives that really make me laugh) was saying that part of it has to do with being associated with positions of power/control—that it's easier to identify and laugh with underdogs. IMO, the most successful conservative and liberal

This is a coincidence, I was just listening to 2 Dope Queens today and learned of Phoebe Robinson's new podcast. I'm definitely going to check it out.

That was a good Doug Loves Movies—not as thrilling as the Danny Trejo episode, but anything with Paul F. Tompkins is a winner in my book.

And don't put a space between "me" and "thinks." Unless you are Elmo or Cookie Monster.

"sereptitiously." "Me thinks the politically correct Disney types…" Jesus Christ. This reads like a parody of a conservative's movie reviews. Like, I can see Dana Carvey back in the day playing this guy on Weekend Update ("Governor Mike's Film Corner!"). The worst part is you can actually feel how proud of himself

They Came Together was fantastic. I love the group of friends who each represent different aspects of the main character. I agree that the Hangover movies suck.

Maybe it's just because I'm a Steve Coogan fangirl, but I think Hamlet 2 and The Trip are both hilarious and worthy of inclusion.

There's a concept in social psychology called "moral licensing" — basically the concept is that when a group of people does a collective "good" they give themselves tacit permission to do something "bad." This is the concept that can lead to token film roles followed by dry spells—producing a film with all female

I definitely think that was it. He came to visit me in Chicago and I took him to the big theater on the Magnificent Mile and then out to lunch, and it was my first "I'm taking a small child out in public!" event so I wanted things to go well—he clearly picked up on it.

I also think it failed because it didn't have good enough comedy writing. If they had really good sketches like 30 Rock, I think the show would have had better legs.

Everyone knows your mama can't dance and your daddy don't rock n' roll.
