I met Daniel Bryan at an airport in Seattle a decade ago and told him I was a huge fan and appreciated his work and left it at that. It then turned out that we were both flying to Japan but missed our connecting flights in San Francisco due to weather, and got put up in the same hotel for the night. On the shuttle bus…

He wasn’t but they announced that he was coming out of that well for the next season. Maybe... maybe not so much anymore. Maybe the well water’s disfigured him enough that they just cast someone else in the part.

I was straight-up coming into this article to bitch about Sister Rosetta being overlooked again, but here she is, finally. This should have happened a long time ago but hopefully they rectify that mistake this year by voting her in.

But enough about Nia Vardalos…

My lasting memory of Finn Jones is him turning up late to his own comic-con Q&A panel because on the way to it he found Adventure Time cosplayers and got distracted. There's a real vein of Kimmyness to him that I'm mad they didn't make more of.

I laughed with Finnnnn when he was doing straight-up silly shit like being excited that his CEO seat goes up and down. If they had leaned into "it's Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt but with martial arts" harder that season might have actually been watchable for stretches longer than the scenes where Colleen was injuring…

I really like him in voiceover and theater and for whatever reason don't really care for him in live-action TV or film.

I vaguely recall his assessment of Mad Max: Fury Road being laughably bad. I've seen other bad takes of his before but what they were specifically of has completely faded from memory.

If an internet comment section were happy about the thing it were commenting on, would it really be an internet comment section?

I remember when I was old enough to finally get my own TV, Three's Company was the show I gravitated to the most on Nick at Nite, and I'm pretty sure it was entirely because of how great that cast was. I loved Joyce DeWitt especially. I haven't gone back and watched it in like thirteen years and I don't think I want…

Yeah, off the top of my head, the most recent actual comedy to get Best Picture was Annie Hall forty years ago. It's hard enough for them to win Best Comedy/Musical at the Golden Globes, let alone Best Picture at the Oscar.

In the specific case of La La Land, if you sub in Oscar Isaac for Gyllenhaal that was my thought a day later.

I think Hacksaw is by far the weakest of the field that I've seen (still haven't seen Manchester but I'd be shocked if I liked it less), but I can definitely appreciate that sentiment. The battle scenes were really gripping and won me over after a first half hour that made my teeth hurt.

Less of a dick and more just weird in a none "hurr hurr look at his sweater" way.

Yeah, I didn't love War Zone but that parkour kill is one of the funniest moments in any comic book movie.

bring out the girls

I remember reading in the synopsis that Sexy Archie has a Sexy Teacher-Student Relationship with Sexy Young Ms. Grundy, so yeah, it has to be, right? The moment I read that I was like "man, that's so awful and I'm definitely going to get sucked into its vortex."

It's the movie. It has some good moments, and the third act about what happened *after* the war concluded was interesting enough to me, but oh god does it feel like it drags on forever.

Not this year, because he'll be up here in Seattle next March, but he's basically making a couple final appearances and then I think his only convention appearances will be at his own con in LA every October.

Huh. I thought the repeated thing where the same four or five characters basically relayed the same message to each other, right down to the dude next to the defense minister saying something to the defense minister and then her literally just turning to the Prime Minister to say the exact same thing was meant as…
