I've read about this Legion shtick but I didn't see any sign of it in the series myself; it all seems to stem from one throwaway line in "The Judge" which has been blown into something greater. The idea of making a "deal with the devil" is a popular one in folklore so of course it's a trope they'd visit a few times in …

I always found the best mythology episodes in The X-Files were the earliest ones when they were just putting the feelers out for what worked; you had the sense that maybe someone knew more about what was happening than you did, but there was tantalisingly little to go on.

Should I know what a Macklemore is?

Not sure if any of these count since I don't know when or if they aired in the US, but have at:

Yay, more Millennium material. Now track down Megan Gallagher, Klea Scott and Kristen Cloke and I can finish some of these wikipedia articles.

Unless it's like set in a jungle or in space or in a space jungle then no amount of it being the only english-language film on a 12-hour Korean flight will be enough to make me watch it.

HEY KIDS
EAT MY INSIDES
SLEEP TIGHT

The good one was Little Miss Sunshine, the disappointing one was Dan in Real Life.

I just hope this is better than the last time I saw Steve Carell try serious-acting, and is more like the first time I saw Steve Carell try serious-acting.

I see where you're coming from, but I think that the pulp-serial throwback feel of the original Star Wars can do the genre a lot more justice than anything Whedon ever farted out. A look at that universe through the lens of what originally inspired it—all the Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon, Dan Dare sort of stories—could…

C3PO is the whitest robot to ever white. But to be fair, I have no idea what colour a shaved wookie is—though I'm sure someone does have that answer, probably even fully canon.

Yeah, something more space-westerny within that whole smuggler/bounty hunter domain would be pretty cool, especially if they work with the space-is-dirty aesthetic from the first film.

I'm not a big Star Wars buff or anything—I like them and all but they're stick-them-on-for-a-fun-afternoon-movies for me. But I know everyone is related somehow between the originals and the prequels, and also this far far away galaxy is very white. So my question is this—is Windu secretly Calrissian's pops?

I thought Verhoeven already made a Jesus movie.

Well I'd imagine so, but Pattinson in what I have seen him in is as blandly serviceable as DiCaprio's "heart-throb" phase films like Romeo + Juliet and Titanic; I can still see room for Pattinson to step up his game after making some money as a pretty-boy, much like DiCaprio, Pitt or McConnaughy have done in turn…

Granted, I haven't actually seen Cosmopolis yet, but I remember dismissing Leonardo DiCaprio for all the same reasons I'm tempted to dismiss Pattinson and look how he turned out.

Cronenberg? Go on.
Lynchian anti-Hollywood tale? Tell me more.
Julianne Moore? You're reeling me in.
John Cusack? Fuck this, bail.

You can read something like that into any story, since any story will show the progression of one or more characters within their world; my point was that they aren't pushing a message or satirising some societal more (like, say, "Lisa the Vegetarian", "Lisa the Skeptic", or "The Joy of Sect").

Yeah, this. I think my personal favourites are "You Only Move Twice", "Bart the Lover" and "Sweet Seymour Skinner's Baadasssss Song" and none of them seem to be saying much beyond the constant jokes. I even think one of the most disappointing episodes from the golden years is "Homer the Heretic" simply because it…

Bob Belcher's probably the closest to an animated everyman I've seen; they've essentially made him the stereotypical straight-man wife and Linda the oafish husband.
