The saddest Twitter along these lines is Nikki Blonsky's. She was Tracy Turnblad in Hairspray, and now… well, just look her up.

I've seen and haven't hated any of the Marvel movies, but Thor 2 was when I realized they had about exhausted their interest for me. I haven't seen any of the cinematic universe movies theatrically since. I did see Deadpool and BvS in theaters, and felt like Deadpool was trying way too hard to be badass, and BvS was……

Agreed. A couple other things:

The boyfriend and I discovered we had mice in our kitchen about a week ago. Maintenance came and plugged the holes on Friday, and we spent all of Saturday scrubbing the shit out of all the cabinets, washing all the dishes, mopping, wiping, and just for the hell of it, cleaning the rest of the apartment. We went to bed…

I totally understand the idea of people voting for Hillary to not get Trump, because that's what I'm doing too. But it bugs me when gay people (of which I am one) and black people (of which I am not) set aside DADT and the "super predators" stuff because "she's on our side now" because she supports gays and talks to…

It's a first act rather than just an opening sequence, but one I keep thinking of, weirdly, is The Switch, that meh romcom with Jason Bateman and Jennifer Aniston. Go read the first two paragraphs of the Wiki plot description, which sum up the first act. If the movie had ended there, it would have been a solid short…

The magic that is on those (BLU-RAY DISCS), that fucking heart and soul that we put onto those (BLU-RAY DISCS), that is ours, and you don't own that!

Do kids still learn cursive in school? I remember it was a whole year side-lesson in third grade circa 1997, but I don't think I've had to write anything in cursive, except my signature, in 15 years.

" Like ectoplasm from a medium, it is the visible extrusion of a marketing campaign."

I think the only surprise here is that people blaze through Breaking Bad. It definitely has the "I can't sleep without knowing what happens next" factor, but it's so intense that I could never do more than a couple at a time.

There's a movie idea: a backstage comedy (or drama?) about a typically sleazy porn director who gets tasked with writing and directing a faith-based film. Or vice versa.

Having an idea where your story is going to end, and about how long you have to get there, is helpful in plotting where it's going.

I think part of the reason is that, aside from appealing across most demographics, she hasn't had any major career setbacks. Her albums and tours have all done well. She hasn't had any major controversies (in the "she said something sexist on Twitter, KILL HER!" sense, not in the "BLUE LIVES MATTER" sense). Her acting…

Keith Stanfield is also there, and he's killed everything he's been in, so there's that.

I distinctly remember hearing Frontier Psychiatrist on the local alternative station once, at 11pm some night in 2001, and for years thinking I had hallucinated it. But I didn't really know who they were, or get into them, until late high school/early college ('05-'06).

You know who else put out a single today? The Avalanches. Their first one in 16 years. We could talk about that too, maybe.

It's a shame Bergman's career never recovered from Striptease and Isn't She Great, because he had a nice run of solid comedies from 1985 to 1994 (Fletch, this, Soapdish, Honeymoon In Vegas, It Could Happen To You).

I saw Hot Rod opening weekend, at an 8pm show with mayyyyybe 15 other people. My friends and I and another group laughed uncontrollably throughout the whole thing, and the rest of the theater sat in polite silence, with the exception of the couple who walked out about halfway through.

I'll give Zombie some credit, because at least he took the opportunity to remake a classic horror movie and didn't just say "let's make it slicker and gorier and there's more tits!" There was at least a creative impulse there, a desire to do something different, especially in the sequel.

The timeline of the two movies works so that Eric Stoltz's character could have conceivably grown into the lecherous asshole professor he plays in The Rules Of Attraction.
