    Can they be called the Zsaszettes? :]

    It leaves ticket stubs and popcorn everywhere, never throws its film cans in the hamper, and there was, like, a big old soda stain on the screen even though you told it you had company coming over and it was important to you.

    I'm not saying this is my opinion and I don't want to go too far into "putting words in the reviewer's mouth" territory here, but I can see people being unhappy about presenting even a clearly fictional world in which the Salem Witch Trials were arguably justified. Just like some people complain about the racial

    I think if Edward Norton and David Arquette had a child, it would grow up to be Sam Rockwell.

    Isn't the review basically saying that the movie depicts a world in which evil magic was a real problem American settlers faced, which would mean that the people responsible for the Salem Witch Trials might have blamed the wrong people but were at least reacting to a legitimate threat? Kind of like how a movie about a

    Mrs. White - Judy Greer
    Miss Scarlett - Aisha Tyler
    Mr. Green - Chris Parnell
    Colonel Mustard - H. John Benjamin
    Professor Plum - Lucky Yates
    Mrs. Peacock - Jessica Walter

    I want to put Edward Norton out there for Mr. Green, if only because I sometimes forget Edward Norton and Sam Rockwell aren't the same person. And Judy Greer or Megan Mullally for Mrs. White, because I get a very Madeline Khan vibe from both of them.

    That's got to be the one I'm thinking of. And if it's a Kevin Nealon sketch, I probably saw it before I made the joke, which would have been around the time Lie to Me and that Poppy Montgomery show - the Rememberist or whatever - were on the air.

    Geez, I remember joking to a friend, during a stretch of time when it seemed like every new drama on TV was about a brilliant but dysfunctional savant who used their special problem solving gift to be top professional in their field despite having worse social skills than a trapdoor spider, that there should be a show

    I first read your comment as "if you showed me that picture without consent…" and now I'm amused by the idea of some kind of especially aggressive ad campaign that just consists of a guy going around holding up a still from the movie screaming "Look at it! Look at it!!!"

    Hey, they haven't told us where the Assassins' sacred dueling mountain is. I'm betting it's just outside Portland.

    It would be kind of interesting if, after seeing the staple gun-looking thing but before finding out it was a blaster, Kanan was suspicious that Ezra based its design in part on the Inquisitor's circular saber handle.

    In some versions of the EU (that's pretty much how you have to preface any Star Wars answer that isn't based on the movies) Jedi basically gather the necessary components then meditate until they can intuitively build their lightsaber like a jigsaw puzzle. That's pretty much how they explained Luke building his

    That's not a skirt! It's a chiton, which is more of a dress. Except when it doesn't drape over the upper torso, then it's more of a fustanella. Which is a skirt, but manly.

    Lothal strikes me as the kind of backwater where the age of consent would be disturbingly low.

    My first thought was that Ezra incorporated his energy slingshot into his lightsaber, and that it shot the same projectiles. I could be wrong, but they looked the same to my memory. I've seen at least one EU source that claimed that Jedi often scavenge pieces for their first lightsabers from souvenirs and devices that

    It always strikes me as odd that they feel the need to put superheroines in flesh-baring outfits considering that - as the animators of Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends demonstrated - you can basically draw a nude woman, leave out the nipples and genitals, draw a line across her throat and say she's wearing a

    I've made that exact observation myself. Coincidentally, it was the underground fight club episode of Birds of Prey* way back in 2002 that first made me realize that every genre show eventually does a "pit fighting" episode. I'm honestly shocked that Arrow hasn't done one yet, because it's exactly the type of show

    I don't know if Sonar was ever treated as a serious threat, but I do know that there was an issue of Justice League America where he loses his sonic gun in a poker game. If memory serves, while trying to get it back he runs into the Blue Beetle and surrenders in a fit of self pity, saying that he imagines that the

    He played Zezelryck on Krod Mandoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire! What more do you need?
