  1. Yes! I'm not the only person outside of Hollywood who dislikes Gervais! I have to admit, he wasn't entirely insufferable in this role once he got his trademark digressions and asides over with and started the King's flashback trip. I fully expect Madalena to be wearing all-black gowns with bat wings or horns on her headwear in the final episodes.
  2. That's not an unlikely turn of events. If Dottie is an assassin, the person keeping close tabs on everyone in the building could easily run afoul of her. Likewise for any men attempting to break in and ambush Carter.
  3. The Davis/Crawford feud was indeed the gold standard. This Bette Davis quote always made me laugh:
  4. I saw it yesterday - very good, very bleak. Steve Carrell was pretty much unrecognizable, and so uncomfortable to watch and listen to. If I were Mark Schultz I might be less concerned about implications of a sexual relationship with DuPont (imho the movie didn't spell one out, but it kind of makes things fall more into place if you assume it) and more upset that it portrayed me as a surly lunkhead who was dismissive and disrespectful to my sister in law, nephew, and neice.
  5. My point is that Eureka and Warehouse 13 were infamous for clunky product placement for things like cars and anti-perspirant to help underwrite their budgets, and most of the brands of consumer goods that would be appropriate for a 1940s period piece are long gone or no longer able to advertise on television. Seen many dancing cigarettes or tooth powder commercials lately?
  6. I sat next to Dan Bukatinsky and Richard Ruccolo at a festival screening of their movie All Over the Guy many years ago (actually was asked to go sit in empty seats next to them by festival organizers, presumably because they wanted someone in a suit & tie to help fill the ring of empty seats around the celebrities). Both were very friendly and gracious, and seemed super-nervous over some technical difficulties with the film projector; I told them it would be a bonding experience for the audience like standing in a long line together.
  7. Between that and Bale's Batman voice, I suppose we're lucky that they didn't have Harvey Fierstein dub over all Anne Hathaway's lines.
  8. Tons of my friends loved The Lego Movie and praised it to the high heavens, but Will Arnett AND Will Ferrell in one movie makes me more reluctant to see it than a graphic ethnic cleansing documentary.
  9. He reached peak hotness when he did that Cursed movie with Christina Ricci, so I vote he's an acceptable movie crush.
  10. Watch the first season of Rogue to get your answer.
  11. It would have the novelty of involving literal softening (as in bruises and broken bones) rather than the figurative opening up emotionally sort. AGENT THOMPSON: That was one helluva workday. I'm beat. Hey doll, how about fixing me a drink before you get dinner started? EXT - HALLWAY OUTSIDE APARTMENT: Door bursts into flinders as Agent Thompson is hurled through it.
  12. Yeah, I don't see that working out too well since Burma Shave and Lucky Strike cigarettes wouldn't be in the market to advertise via egregious product placement.
  13. This reminds me a lot of Grace Jones working on the set of Conan the Destroyer.
  14. It seems to me that they could have just waited until the train was almost there, rammed the car farther forward, and not had anyone in the SSR conclusively know that someone was covering their tracks. Maybe their intent was to be obvious and discourage further investigation? Aside from a love of punching criminals, what would they have in common? I wish they weren't going quite so futuristic with all of Howard Stark's 1940s weapons developments, given that the stuff seems more advanced than weaponry available in the early 21st century. More conventional missiles or artillery shells could be just as explosive and dangerous to the public when stolen without looking like something from Warehouse 13. Yeah, people who want to be my new best friend 10 minutes after I meet them are plenty off-putting even without any concerns about national security. I thought that was pretty clear from the first Captain America movie. In a way, it's a shame Erskine and everyone else was too blinded by a less hostile/extreme form of the era's chauvinism. If they'd ever considered the possibility of their prototype super-soldier being a woman, they would have already had the perfect candidate.
  15. I think he showed some busting into the wedding in the pilot's opening sequence, but aside from that he hasn't been terribly impressive. If not for the fact that Isabella's quest is a ruse, I'd be wondering why she didn't just forget Galavant and save Valencia her own damn self.
  16. Once something reaches a certain level of over-the-topness it's pretty hard to parody it. Kind of like how In Living Color's spoof version of that Sir Mix-a-Lot video "Baby Got Back" wasn't really any funnier or more ridiculous than the original.
  17. I think they should make it a dark comedy, show scenes like Guzman shaving a full three day growth of beard in the mornings, have a classmate say "sorry, sir" when they bump into him in the hall, expository flashbacks to his childhood with 80s fashion and The Cosby Show or The Love Boat on TV, etc.
  18. I just watched Man of Steel on DVD the other day, and I think Sprayberry's appearance has changed more over two years than anyone I've ever seen past the age of puberty, even Hoechlin's college age transformation. I literally wouldn't recognize him as the same person without being told.
  19. Didn't the Winter Soldier movie say that the Hydra infiltration began in the 1970s when Zola's computerized analog went into use by S.H.I.E.L.D.? Peggy might have been retired by that point. (I certainly can't see her signing off on the idea of relying on the electronic ghost of the top Nazi scientist. How could that possibly go wrong?)
  20. Galavant saying that "it takes a village" hasn't been invented yet cracked me up, as did Isabella telling Sid's mother that of course she would convert and the reply "You had me at shalom!"
  21. Based on his appearance on The Neighbors I figured Sasse would do well in the role.
  22. I just bought some boneless chicken from there last night because I worked too late to feel like cooking. It was like vaguely chicken-flavored leather, and nowhere near enough food for what I paid. I remember the chain for having really great-tasting food in generous amounts when I was younger, so something has definitely changed.
  23. It's particularly sad that the Watcher in the Water got Oin. Bad way to go.
