They'd probably inflate it to Schwarzenegger/Dolly Parton proportions and have the tears appear to be made out of glass!
Or he'd be shirtless in random scenes like in church or arguing with Mrs Olson!

I have to disagree! I mean as hammy and wooden as many of the performances were down the years, the cast DID convey their emotions and helped hone the characters- and having a 'robot Pa' 'robot Laura', 'robot Nellie',etc. would be a rather soulless venture, IMO!
Oh I know it's going to be bad, and weird and wonky like all the other AI videos I've seen! I'm just curious if an AI is going to put every trope in. The townspeople in church singing "Ringing in the Sheaves", Nelly bullying, Harriet screeching, Doc Baker being somber, etc.

Did the intro to this episode (Toupee) make any sense at all when it came to the surprise return of the company's owner? They didn't explain much about it, except that they inferred he ran off with the plant manager's wife and was gone for two years and the owner felt like he didn't have to explain himself, but that his wife must explain herself.
I think it's just that he was a jerk.
Just watched the first 10 minutes of season 4 episode 6 "The Case of the Wandering Widow" and am now going go look up when Agatha Christie's "Ordeal by Innocence" was published.

The French Connection and The Exorcist are still amazing films and I just saw Sorcerer for the first time last year. Nail-biting suspense. Loved seeing his interviews and commentaries too.

I would love to see an AI generated Little House episode.

Watching the first episode of season 4 "The Case of the Treacherous Toupee".
Boy that Perry is a real legal eagle. A natural not like ordinary people or even all the President's men. Can take the sting out of any indecent proposal. Reminded me the way we were taking that flight out of Africa when the sun danced on that condor for 3 days...okay I'll stop.

I find it amusing that the biggest movie this summer with a protagonist wearing a fedora is Oppenheimer.
Well Barbie is bigger financially but Oppy is doing damn good for a 3 hour drama. I like the new Indiana Jones but looking at it from the perspective of someone who didn't grow up watching the Indy movies it's an action movie starring an 80 year old man. That's more ridiculous than a movie about a doll. Even if it was amazing I don't see gen Zers clamoring paying ticket prices to see it.

And I hated that Paulie, Phil Sorvino was the killer. Such a sad sack of a character. Orbach's McGraw was just Lennie, if Lennie hadn't been a cop.
In the earlier Hemingway episode the actress who played the British publisher seemed familiar and I realized she was on Star Trek The Next Generation as Worf's human adoptive mother who was Russian. Sorvino played Worf's adopted brother in a later episode(basically her son). J
Now watching Jean Simmons, who was also on TNG as the Starfleet version of Senator McCarthy ("I've taken down bigger men than you PICARD!!") is playing Jessica's mystey author rival. And she's married to the White Shadow!

100%. With Lucie Arnaz as Mary Beth no less.
I hate this episode. First strike is that it's another episode where Jessica is roped into some strangers drama by lying manipulation. The scenery--and story--are dreary. And other than Peter Haskell's character, everyone is pretty reprehensible.
Well it's supposed to be a Film Noir takeoff so the characters are supposed to be that way. I didn't really get the point of the English guy being there.
Tyne Daly and Sharon Gless beat Angela so many times at the Emmys by then I guess the writers didn't hold back!
Love Jerry Orbach as Lenny Briscoe but not as Harry McGraw. The next episode has Paul Sorvino who Orbach replaced on Law & Order.

Thoughts watching season 5:
Holy crap it's Megan Mullally!
Are they doing a Cagney and Lacey parody?
Grady finally got married.
There are 2 episodes where Jessica is involved in a spy plot and they each have someone from Grease 2 in it.
Nice film noir homage starring Mannix.
Are they taking a shot at Mariel Hemingway(Actress granddaughter of a famous macho writer)?

Of course Paul Rubens had a lot of famous roles, but he was also in only one episode of Everybody Loves Raymond. He was a so good and stole the show.
Much preferred thst version to when they later remade him as a pathetic loser "Peter" played by Chris Elliot. Russell was an opinionated snob, like Jack Black in High Fidelity, much closer to comic store guys in real life.
Reuben was also great on Murphy Brown as one of her many secretaries.

I hated the Solo movie, so I'm pretty cynical that this show will be any good. Glover played it way too broad, a live-action cartoon character. He wasn't helped by the terrible writing. Robosexual? Seriously? If he's closer to the Lando we see in the OT and TROS, maybe there's a chance. But I'm not exactly anticipating much.
In Rebels he was literally a cartoon with Billy Dee Williams voicing him as the smooth talking gambler which he really wasn't in the OT and TROS. The series could be more of that or seeing his arc from scoundrel to "businessman and responsible leader" when he becomes administrator of Cloud City.
I don't remember the term "Robosexual" said in the movie.

Actually gasped when I saw the news about Sinead. Damn.
I still remember the clip of her at some event after her appearance on 'SNL" - she got booed off the stage, and Kris Kristofferson was right there to offer her a hug. I hope that moment gave her a little comfort. Thank you, Sinead, for not being afraid to speak up and speak your mind. If only more people had listened...
May she rest in peace.

I saw Almost Famous when it came out and liked it. The scene where Penny almost died is a deliberate homage to The Apartment which Cameron Crowe acknowledged in his book where he has conversations with director Billy Wilder. A movie which came out the same time was a remake of The Apartment was Loser with Jason Biggs and Mena Suvari who had just been in American Pie. I also saw that in the theater and halfway in was like "Wait a minute! This is The Apartment but with college kids!" It was directed by Amy Heckerling the director of Fast Times at Ridgemont High, which Cameron Crowe wrote.

Unpopular Opinion: I enjoy Mission:Impossible 2, the one MI fans consider the worst of the series. It's ridiculously campy in a fun way and is so year 2000 it makes me actually nostalgic. I think the real reason it's disliked is it's so blatantly a Tom Cruise solo vanity project when the other movies have at least the pretense of him working with and relying on a team like the old show.

It just now occurred to me that although Joss originally named Cordelia after a girl who bullied his wife in school, she actually became like the Cordelia in Shakespeare's King Lear, someone who's not afraid to speak the truth even if it's unpleasant on BTVS and ANGEL.

I do wish Marion had a bigger role in the movie. Karen Allen said as much in her interview. Like there's no way she didn't see the news about Indy being wanted for murder and know something was up. It wouldn't surprise me if she called Sallah not long after he helped him to find out what was going on...
But I think in the scenes she did have she was used correctly. The Marion and Indy scenes felt off in Crystal SKULL because they were trying to make it comedic when they're interactions in RAIDERS were mostly serious. When I saw them get married I kind of shrugged. When I saw them reunited at the end of DIAL I got choked up. And the recreation of the "Where doesn't it hurt" scene from RAIDERS? Brilliant.
