I’ve been rewatching TNG on the blurays. There are definitely stinker episodes, but on the whole it holds up really well.

I’ve been curious and perplexed about the context in which almost all of these incredibly short interviews have been shot. Who goes through the trouble of setting up an interview that short? Are there longer interviews, which just aren’t posted? They don’t look like junkets, because the equipment and sometimes the…

I get a kick out of imagining going back in time 30 years with one of these, and showing it to a kid playing on an original NES.

McAdams starred as the title character

I was going to point this out. I barely even follow this stuff and I saw set photos of Linda Hamilton a while ago. I went back and found one of the articles - it was mid-June http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-5866325/Terminator-PICTURE-EXCLUSIVE-Linda-Hamilton-seen-set-time.html

I’d commend that your observational skills clearly exceed mine, except that he’s wearing a pink sweatshirt, not a “dress”. 

For someone as insecure as this douche-nozzle clearly is, he’s quite committed to the bit with his drag (in the photo accompanying the article). At just a passing glance, he looked convincingly like a woman - so much so that my comment was going to be that it looked like an Onion stock photo of a whiny YouTube star.

Combining characters is a pretty classic feature of screen adaptations. Casting is expensive, and at the fast pace of TV storytelling, it becomes really hard to follow along if there are too many characters.

I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by Joel Kinnaman’s performance. He carried the role of salty-tough-guy action star in a way that so many other muscle-bound white guys routinely fail miserably at (Jai Courtney being the top example). The rare actors that demonstrate an ability to play those roles…

There’s some (maybe most) “ASMR” that repulsed me just as much. Hearing someone chew in my ear is a fucking nightmare. It fills me with hulk level rage to hear people chew. Whispering irritates me almost as much (if I can hear you whisper than what is the point of your whispering? Who are we fooling?)

I think the Corinne bit was suitably funny and thought provoking, but (even though I’d never heard of her before), I’d hope she doesn’t crucified for what she said in her appearance. Her, more than anyone else, seemed to be really aggressively pushed into saying and doing the things she did. I think it’s fun to let it…

This is right, Cohen suggests that the N-word is a “forbidden” word that would be the most effective at drawing attention (in the clips we see on the TV show - in Spencer’s pre-air story, he tried to claim that Cohen was insistent on it). So Cohen certainly plants the idea - though the lack of hesitation to do it is…

Look, I was on board with you when I thought these were just jokes in bad taste. But holy shit, adults having sex with 3-year-olds is not an untapped mine of hilarity.

There’s something to be commended about Disney’s apparent courage to enforce its values, even when it’s at the risk of disrupting the license to print money that is Guardians Vol. 3.

Yes, “already”. They pre-taped the whole series!

In what seems like an impossible coincidence, somebody has just liked a comment I posted last September accusing the AV Club of “selling out to Big Bacon”.

Let’s wait and see what the gag actually is. I wouldn’t put it past Cohen to do something tasteless, but Palin, calling attention to herself while trying to villainize the evil left, is not a credible source.

I had that with another article today. A quite possibly deliberate (and if so, clever) way of forcing you to see the ads.

This article is a remarkable intersection of my genuinely strong affection for each of Green Day, the Washington Post and Onion media.
