Several possible candidates:

I think award shows are basically dumb at the fundamental level, but I do think they can serve the purpose of bringing attention to great work people might not otherwise have known or cared about.

I am all for doing a nuanced unpacking of the gendered content—both positive and negative—of popular media, but throwing around the word "feminist" here, when the examples are virtually all "a gross misogynistic thing doesn't happen, even though it could" makes me feel like we are setting a depressingly low bar here.

Every time people get mad at Netflix, I just think back on the whole Quikster debacle that caused Netflix's stock to tank.

They still have more quality streaming content than any of us could ever hope to watch.

I know that I am totally being the proverbial frog-in-boiling-water here, but it would take a much bigger price hike than that for me to even consider disconnecting from Netflix.

I think it would be cool if April Fools Day was re-appropriated as a broader celebration of comedy, instead of being narrowly focused on deception-based humor and "websites doing unexpected things."

I don't think Kevin James has ever done anything good, but I feel like he has the talent to be better. I guess he's probably happy just doing his Kevin James thing, though.

(since it's all fantasy anyway, we can forgive my anachronism, no?)

Joel McHale as Johnny Cage
Heath Ledger as Anakin Skywalker
Michael Fassbender as Ozymandias
Colin Firth as Jonathan Harker (replacing Keanu Reeves in Coppola's '92 version)

Having sound priorities and time management skills, I have an entire 1985-era Spider-Man cast that I have been saving for this very occasion! Behold:

This is going to sound like a joke, but I promise it's not: THIS is what studios should be building a cinematic universe around. Not only could you make movies about the other Kennedys starring whoever plays them in this movie, you could make a great spinoff movie about Walter Freeman (the lobotomist who operated on

She is not even a little bit wrong though. The IMDb Too 250 reads like a "who's who" of college freshman boy dorm roommate posters.

I am sure this probably won't actually hurt the overwhelmingly majority of people who use the subway system, but I think it's worthwhile to remember that there are about 30,000 Holocaust survivors living in New York City, and probably a non-trivial number of Chinese and Korean victims of Imperial Japan, some of whom

With Heath Ledger as Anakin.

I kind of hate these NBC musicals, but I am actually pretty excited for this one. The Wiz is a really fun musical, but the existing movie version we have is straight-up awful, so this one doesn't have try very hard to justify its own existence.

its true!!!! i am afraid I will one day vote Republican!!!!

Obviously this is a huge accomplishment for the folks who made this, so bravo—but honestly, I would hate it if the eventual Metroid movie we get is anything like this in look, tone, or characterization.

Samus shouldn't be a vulnerable "everywoman" character. We have plenty of those. Honestly, the closest approximation I can think of to what Samus's demeanor and relationship with the world around her should be is Ryan Gosling's character in Drive.

The assumption that it even has ironclad "rules" is a stupid one. We only hear the rules from one person, who is demonstrably unreliable and kind of an idiot.
