Or completely covered in snow in like, late August. I swear Buffalo, New York is the most Canadian city in Ontario.

And speaking of The People V. O. J. Simpson, Cuba Gooding went from one of the most affable actors I can think of to a disgraced pariah. Life imitates art.

It was similar with a Christmas tree in Toronto. It was campaigned strongly against by city council, in support of recognizing other religions. From what I read about, none of the people of those religions cared, and -if anything - resented the notion that it might be blamed on them, which of course in some circles it…

Funny how the term ‘Mounties’ is mostly used by Americans at this point. You’re correct that it’s just a dress uniform, and yes, if someone is in trouble with the RCMP, they’re in trouble.

No, the true tragedy is that they f***ing canceled it. That show was hilarious, poignant, and brilliant.

So long as there’s pizza!

Even as a straight male - knowing that everyone involved is aware the dolls aren’t real - I still got the Sophie’s Choice element of that.

Weird, trippy videos set to Pink Floyd music? What’s next, going to the beach when it’s sunny out? What a world. 

I find one of the odd saving graces of Rises is its sloppiness, not in that Christopher Nolan really didn’t want to make it, but that the death of his friend was the main reason for it. This is not hidden knowledge, but that’s the only reason The Joker is not even referenced, and Nolan also made an effort to prevent…

In terms of least relatable, I’ve been watching some of the earliest episodes of Curb, and though I love the show and have (probably) seen every episode, I forgot how cringier some of the early ones are. Take Season 2 ‘The Doll’ as an example:

Not going to lie, I kind of want to watch this now.

I wouldn’t say he’s announcing it. Someone asks Brad Pitt what flavour ice cream he likes, and he shrugs and says “Mint chocolate chip”. BRAD PITT LOVES HIS MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP!!!! I’m not suggesting you’re unfamiliar with the media, but a certain level of fame yields this kind of everyday thing, and choosing to stay…

You know when something subconsciously bugs you but you don’t really think about it? This. “So CP3, I gotta ask you..”

I’m hoping among those coming out, there’s an actual ‘Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein’ that’s simply faithful to the book. I haven’t read a ton of classic novels, but that was one of them, and I’d be excited to watch that. I’m not sure they’ve done that since the Peter Boyle version. With respect to Maggie Gyllenhaal, a…

I guess that’s a good point. I remember The Truman Show coming out around the same time as that Owen Wilson movie. Similar with volcano movies in the late 90's, and apocalyptic movies around the same time. Still, I’d argue those are genres, not specific characters. It was 19 years since The Joker made an appearance in …

This has never happened to me as I’ve never donated a wing to a library/hospital/what have you, but my favourite Larry David gripe is probably still ‘The Anonymous Donor’. Larry donates a wing to a library(?) which is named The Larry David Wing. Ted Danson donates a wing as well. It’s labeled ‘Anonymous’ but he still…

I’d love to see a new Frankenstein movie, but I’m not liking this trend of “X. We haven’t seen that in a while. Let’s make 12 of them at once!”

Not that I’m in love with mine, but the perplexed look on Bart’s face while he’s holding the muffin makes the whole thing. I’m with you, 100%.

I agree with you, and if this is just a (so-called) recap, it makes the editorializing even more glaring and gaudy. Speaking of *actual* reviews, I remember Katie Rife doing Breaking Bad amongst my favourites.

That whole first paragraph seemed to be about what the episode was not about, which, y’know, kind of defeats the purpose of a review.
