I don’t see what’s confusing about the Mantis/Quill relationship though. The second movie established they’re siblings, the holiday special was just explicit about it. What would someone have missed if they didn’t watch the holiday special?

People love Alec Baldwin in every demographic: Colored people, broads, fairies, commies...

Robert De Niro
Bela Lugosi
Snuffleupagus
Parker Posey

No one was making fun of Andy Griffith. I can’t emphasize that enough

That’s possible, and maybe the job grew over time to include more responsibilities (thus perhaps even earning her a vanity title, if that is what happened). But De Niro was also already in his 60s when she was hired, and not that people that age are incapable of caring for themselves, but he might have been looking to…

That’s my read on production assistants, but I imagine some personal assistants are meant to be more wingmen than proteges. Like Karl was for Homer Simpson, some are actual right hands that take care of almost everything. You don’t need experience to do menial tasks, but you do need some life experience to run…

Both 30 Rock and Community were excellent right out the gate, but both of them grew into even better shows over the course of their first season. AD was at full steam on episode 1 somehow, and those boys knew how to shovel coal.

The show made such good use of censorship for the joke. The bleeping is always great, but then of course there’s this gem:

25 is considered young for a handful of jobs. House Representative, for example. I don’t know that 25 seems especially young for personal assistant to a Hollywood star, though I don’t think I’d personally want to hire someone any younger than that if it were me. It seems like someone with at least ten years work…

Well, I just mean it in the sense that you’re not necessarily doing your body any favors if you learn to hold your breath for 10 minutes, but if you do so, there’s a lot less panic going on in your head when you hit minute three, even though most people would have long since given up by then. I didn’t set out to learn…

To hear other people tell of it, apparently, but honestly I’ve tried “regular” hydration, maybe somewhere in the realm of 8 cups a day (I probably drink half that if I’m not focusing on it) and probably went a little more but still didn’t find myself desperate every couple hours. And I didn’t feel significantly better…

It might be wishful thinking, but I hope it’s revealed in a few years that the movie was a huge scheme to embezzle a bunch of money out of Hollywood and to the Osage.

What’s it called when  your superior product is propped up by billions of dollars of ostensible bribe money? The Translucent Hand of the Market?

You can feel free to consider yourself a fascist then, if it’s what you really want.

It may be that this year ends with Five Nights outperforming both of the year’s two big MCU flick.

But how will we ever find out Peeves’ origin story, and how he ties into the relationship between Aberforth and Ollivander?

I have a very Immortan Joe outlook on water.

That story is a bit of a disappointment, because given the Dreamworks mention, I was dearly hoping he was in a screening of Shrek that he just couldn’t bear the idea of missing a few minutes of.

As someone who can pretty easily go 8-10 waking hours without peeing, I don’t need intermissions, but I wouldn’t necessarily mind them. I certainly don’t see how independent theaters choosing to hit pause for their customers is a violation of anything. It feels like any language in the licensing agreement being used…
