Return of the Jedi was closer in quality to the holiday special than to The Empire Strikes Back. There, I said it.

Does anyone else think it’s weird that Bob Marley quotes the “tra-la-la” part of the Banana Splits theme in “Buffalo Soldiers”? Because he totally does.

You’re not wrong, but -- now, hear me out -- what if Aubrey Plaza swapped bodies with Jane Lynch? I’d for sure what that movie.

Yeah, I don’t get it. Sure, if mommy or daddy’s in show business, you have connections, and you don’t have to wait tables in between going on auditions, but you’re also not going to get hired if you suck. 

I know people who really get offended if you don’t say “merry Christmas,” so I wish those people an extra joyous “happy holidays” every chance I get, because screw them.

My guess is that setting it 20 or even 10 years in the past would have cost too much. You’d need old clothes, old computers, old cars. It would have been a period piece. Although the pop culture references could have been funny, and there’d be the built-in tension as the number of stores dwindles until they’re last

Watched it last night. That was, indeed, the point of the joke.

Still disappointed that Hollywood didn’t give Vicki Lewis her own show.

I think the reason so many people paid to see Avatar, despite the forgettable characters and a story that was basically Dances With Wolves/The Last Samuri in Space, is because it was groundbreaking in terms of its CGI and 3D. Now that every big Hollywood movie has incredible CGI and 3D plus great characters and a

I’m gonna be honest. I probably wouldn’t have gotten around to watching this one, anyway.

Stale fixer-uppers is not why anyone pays for HBO Max.

She was already getting that sweet Netflix money for those “Christmas Prince” movies. Plus, free Netflix, probably.

How else would people know it’s him? If he let it grow out, they’d be like, “Hey, Ethan Hawk!” and bug him about when the next “Before...” movie is coming out.

Used to, for whatever reason, they routinely changed the names of shows that were still airing in prime time. “The Andy Griffith Show” was syndicated as “Andy of Mayberry.” “Emergency!” Became “Emergency One!” And “Bonanza” was syndicated as “Ponderosa” (or maybe I’m confusing that one with the steakhouses).

I upcycled some old wire hangers a few years and made a TV antenna that actually worked. It pulled in something like 30 stations, and I live 30 miles from the hill where the towers are clustered. You need wire hangers, a 2-by-4 and one of those doohickeys the TV cable can plug into. You can Google the instructions if

I don’t know that anyone gets anything out of seeing the same movie over and over again, which is the Scorsese movies.

I saw him a few years ago with Postmodern Jukebox. It was a great show, but then Puddles wandered in and put it over the top. Great voice, and surprising funny. His videos are great (look up “Another Tear Falls”), but he’s even better live. 

That’s mean. Oh, sure, I’ll still go, but I’ll sit there quietly fuming. 

Near the beginning of the trailer, after the Fox logo, there are a bunch of dots on the screen. Is that a logo? Because I’m colorblind and all I can see are a bunch of dots.
