I have a similar experience with Hell’s Kitchen, but not for those reasons. Sure, every reality competition is probably skewed or coerced in some way, but when you realize that it’s basically three potential chefs and a dozen or so people with the emotional maturity of first-job fry cooks, it kind of takes away from it…

I’m not saying you’re speculating, but do you have any sources for this? Like I said, I’m open to having missed something, but it seemed like an extraneous detail added after the fact. (If memory serves, Cohen only announces it when he runs into the room.) If it’s true that he knowingly got that close with a girl he…

My first thought was how he’s come full circle from his breakout role in Ali. Then, my immediate second thought was to that infamous roast where the guy tried to make a joke about it and Jamie Foxx just hijacked his whole bit.

I’m not sure how famous this actor is outside of Canada, but every time I see Robin Thicke, I still can’t believe it’s Alan Thicke’s son. 

Bakalova is 24 years old, but her character’s meant to be 15 years old.

Not to mention, didn’t he basically hop over a tiny suburban fence to get into that thing?

Admittedly, this was taken from a “sure, what the hell” viewing of one of those ‘100 Facts about..’ on YouTube. Another commenter explained it better, though: All of the main adult characters (the main four and the two wives) were in highschool at the same time, and at one point Dale’s wife celebrates her 40th (not…

I recently read that Hank Hill is supposed to be 34. A year younger than myself. That blows my got-dang mind.

That’s just because they don’t understand football.

Or .. Princeton?! *nyarrnyarr*

The original (which I can’t find) really amped up the angle of him being an antisocial, borderline rude kid. The sock thrown at him was in frustration. I get the need to speed it up, but the ‘can’t get this kid off his phone’ narrative makes the reveal better.

As someone whose childhood was consumed with Star Wars and Return of the Jedi particularly, I’m disappointed that I missed that connection. While I had to look up the song, I immediately placed it at the Endor scene where they’re talking on the bridge. The music of the original trilogy has been rightfully praised in…

You’ve likely seen it, but this one always gets me.

I recently started a first-rewatch of Lost, and just watched that episode the other night. I agree that it’s a great moment, but I also found it odd that none of the other castaways were shown reacting to it in any way, during or afterward.

This is a woman who has steadfastly and repeatedly maintained that her husband…

I still wince a bit at the scene in The Lost World with the T-Rex and the doghouse, if only because it seems to be meant as light-hearted humour. What kind of dog-hating psychopath finds that scene funny?

Not trying to take away from the sincerity of your point, but all I can think of is Michael Scott: “Yeah, I shot a deer once. Hit in the leg. Had to kill it with a shovel. Took about an hour. Why do you ask?”

See, I did, too .. literally until the moment I typed the two out next to each other, and my brain was like, ‘Wow. Nope, those aren’t the letters you were looking at.’ How (kind of) insane is it that “Toons” - as in short for “cartoons” - was never what was intended. Thanks for blowing my mind, 2021.

Fair point on the never-trust-the-girl trope, but I thought that was overshadowed by the novelty of Bond actually falling in love. Granted that it’s essentially an origin story (and also that that’s been done once before), but it was an interesting direction making him still desirable but pointedly less of a cad. I…

In college (roughly ‘06), I took a course on entertainment journalism, and we were taught, at some point, that British actors are great, intelligent interviews. This was followed - verbatim - by “..except Orlando Bloom.”

Now, that’s a broad stroke at best followed by something a bit mean-spirited, but I always…

Pirates of the Caribbean had one discernible impact, at least for me. It was when the word “Ca-RIB-bean” became universally pronounced “Carrib-BE-an” and never went back. I don’t know which one is correct, but I don’t think I’ve heard the former since that first movie came out.
