But the Woodstock arguments could apply to this one too. Despite the technology and Lee's presence, it's way too late in the game for a "boy, the Iraq War sure was hell" character piece, especially since one of those already won BP a few years back.

The decade is off, but if Alicia Silverstone gets at least 2-3 Blast From The Past references a season, this will be my new favorite show.

Ray Santiago casually came out on the Out 100 list this week. The idea of this show having a gay fan base beyond me is greatly pleasing.

Even Seth MacFarlane is on record as saying FG should have ended years ago.

Ebert noticed book choices in a lot of things. Some that come to mind:

The bigger question for me is "do people who Facebook not know how to Google?" It's rare that it takes me more than 30 seconds to verify a post that sounds bullshit.

It's also weird how late this one came. We're a week from the election. This had to have been shot within the last month. Didn't anyone involved think that maybe we're all completely fucking sick of this election, and you're all wasting your time on something that won't change anyone's mind and no one will remember…

I remember thinking this was fine. My stronger memory of it is that I watched it on cable right after O, which, aside from being a better movie, was also shelved and re-edited after Columbine. A weird coincidence.

They opened a branch of their pizza place here in KC, and did not acknowledge that despite the location being right next to a Chipotle, the location is also where two other pizza restaurants had come and gone in the last five years, because it's one of the most overcrowded neighborhoods in the city for pizza.

ARTPOP gets a bad rap because it has the taint of a perceived flop. It didn't get great reviews, it had only one hit, it sold way less than her previous album, it seemed to many to be disorganized and her thrashing about to find a new sound and retain relevance.

Wrong Turn 2. The first one had a Tomatometer in the 40s. The second one got 78%, and every review said, "wow, for a DTV sequel to a movie most people forgot within a week, this is WAY better than it had any right to be."

Oh good, a coming-of-age story with warm father figures, toxic masculinity and unrequited love. I was just thinking it had been a long time since I had an ugly, guttural cry in public.

Nailed it. Half the movies in this genre feel like that. Was Date Night the last one?

Weird they would do a prequel when Roald Dahl wrote a sequel that takes place partially on a space station, and involves shape-shifting carnivorous aliens.

Someone in another AVC thread about him said that Moore is ideally suited to budding left-wing high schoolers, and that's the most accurate thing I think you could say about him.

Kyle MacLachlan's career is the very definition of "slow and steady wins the race." Never a huge star, but consistently good, consistently working, and involved in a ton of iconic stuff.

Yeah, he's not my thing, but he's inoffensive. Sometimes he makes me laugh in movies.

My takeaway is that Cage is one of those Dick Clark people who looks the same age for 30 years, and then suddenly ages 50 years in ten seconds.

Strange Fruit seems a little on the nose, doesn't it?
