Hot take: The Jewel in the Crown is the single-greatest miniseries ever to be broadcast on television. Piggott-Smith, Art Malik, Charles Dance, Geraldine James. All brilliant.

"explain the original intent".

"Looks like those clowns in Congress did it again. What a bunch of clowns."

It's funny, because they're both terrible writers!

"Fox News is preparing to launch an investigation into the many sexual harassment accusations that have been brought against Bill O’Reilly"

"My fellow Americans…at 5 a.m. today, a day which will live in infamy, the President of the United States has bombed the Baldwins."

I've only seen the first, and my god was I ever frustrated that it was impossible to tell what what happening. That movie failed Objective 1 of a Transformers adaptation: show giant robots stomping through a city.

Pigott-Smith was wonderful on Jewel in the Crown, and I was lucky enough to catch him on stage as King Charles III. He will be sorely missed.

H & R Block: "It was my understanding that there would be no math."

> "the world’s most successful action star"

Poor Faye Dunaway actually thought she was going to be starring in La La Land, but misread the casting call.

This is as honest an appraisal of Girls as I've ever read.

Fuck you sexist pig. (No I'm not joking.)

The entire film will be a Modern Times-like madcap romp through the workings of a Chevrolet assembly line. Only in the final minutes does the main character, played by Dave Franco, get stung by a bee and then fall into the machinery, his brain accidentally zapped into the chassis of a Camaro.

I don't mind

I tried watching the first season, and gave up about halfway through. White is a boring character (and Cranston a mediocre actor at best), and the show gets nowhere by leaning so heavily on the equally weak Aaron Paul. Maybe it got better in later years, but try as I might, I couldn't stomach it.

I'm sorry, but Blackagar Boltagon is the best name ever.

> "progressive feminist in the White House,” Bee said. “To which I say, if you wanted that, you should have voted for it.”

> "his adorable, toothless, number-crunching moppet niece Mary (Mckenna Grace) in the boonies of Florida."

I really wish A.V. Club wouldn't devote any coverage to this kind of bullshit. It only serves to encourage the lunatics.
