When Patton Oswalt wrote for Mad TV, he talked about all the weird notes he’d get all the time about his sketches.

One that stood out was an innocuous line: “You’re acting like a moron.”
The network came back and said, “We looked it up. ‘Moron’ is actually a medical term. It means someone with an IQ of less than 70.…

I used to have a book called ‘A Martian Wouldn’t Say That’ that was a collection of S&P notes for TV shows, mostly from the ‘60s and ‘70s. One I remember as being particularly hilarious was, ‘When the nurses are in the shower, don’t have them be naked.’ Some, like that one, were easy to pick out which show they…

Alex Hirsch the day he left Disney:

I’ll never argue that The Good Dinosaur is a good movie, but I also don’t think it’s bad. I think most of the individual moments are even entertaining, it just never coalesced into something meaningful. If that is Pixar’s worst movie then they really are unassailable. 

First paragraph.

I think outside of cars 2, Pixar hasn’t made a “bad” movie. Some are below the expectation of quality has set for yourself, but even their worst is better than at least 75% of all animated content that comes out every year

“Why not just make a unique space film without the Toy Story connection, you might rightfully ask Pixar.”

I’m personally shocked that this presumably 30-something reviewer doesn’t get the same level of excitement out of this that a 6-year-old would, and doesn’t seem to understand why that might be.

The show can save a lot of film costs by cutting down on cameras, and just getting the footage from the private investigators who follow Remini around at every moment of her day.  That’s just good penny pinching, right there.

“Starshine.”

Miller’s representatives couldn’t be reached because they are currently hiding at the bottom of a jug of whiskey.

Miller is getting creepier by the minute. Worse, he’s feeding people’s worst accusations about the trans community. The Fox News crowd just had their worst fears confirmed.

And he just uses his palm when we’ve known since Crocodile Dundee (don’t tell me Pratt’s character didn’t watch that movie a thousand times) you’ve got to use your thumb and pinkie.

A lot of dinosaur and superhero movies, apparently. 

Plausible deniability?  “I didn’t kill that guy - I was just playing with my laser pointer and then all of a sudden a pack of Raptors ate him.”

Yeah, a few years ago an exodus of commentariat created The Avocado. It’s basically just a community site, not an actual news site like the AV Club is (was), but Dikachu and tons of other old-timers hang out there. I post there occasionally but mostly just lurk.

No, that’s the Scientology guy in Top Gun: Maverick.

Anyone know where Dikachu went? They dropped a lot of gold on those old articles. Just in general I’m curious where a lot of the normal commentariat from back there went. Like is there something better than this version of the AV Club out there?

Johansson has been in a lot of amazing projects, Under the Skin, Ghost World, Lost In Translation, Marriage Story, etc all pretty iconic to the culture. And Evans seems like he’s coming into his own.
