Did you know that #AChristmasStoryChristmas isn't the second film in the Parker Family movie franchise?

And no, it isn't the third.

It's the EIGHTH.

And that movie we all love... A CHRISTMAS STORY?

That's the THIRD. 🧵 The first film in the Parker Family series was a Made-for-TV film called THE PHANTOM OF THE OPEN HEARTH, in 1976. It's about Ralphie, a teenager, and the drama surrounding his junior prom. The movie also includes the anecdote from Jean Shepard's memoir about the sexy lamp! A still from PHANTOM OF THE...

What is the most "Star Trek" episode of STAR TREK?

I don't mean the best, and I definitely don't mean an episode that "stands out" because it's unusual.

I mean the episode that you, personally, think is the most "typical" of TREK? I think STAR TREK's greatest asset is the concept's ability to adapt to different themes, characters and even genres. Maybe there is no "typical" STAR TREK episode. But I am wondering what people would say is the "most" typical based on their own views of what defines it.

My co-host @WitneySeibold wrote a strong editorial about the genre of comedic film reviews, the ones that exist more to make jokes than make meaningful criticism, and how they occupy the same cultural space as “serious” film reviews. He also acknowledges when they overlap. I find it interesting that many of the negative comments so far reflect a certain loyalty or fandom for specific a series of comedic reviews (or more than one), which is interesting, because the noteworthy range in tonality aside, they’re all clearly in the same genre.

That moment when you realize that the T. Rex was never trying to eat the kids in #JurassicPark, because it had just eaten an entire goat and wasn't hungry...

...is the same moment you realize the T. Rex was just being playful. The T. Rex in JURASSIC PARK wasn't trying to eat that car. She was just toying with it, and using the tires like a chew toy.

I never, in my wildest dreams, thought I would have to explain the @nbcsnl "Cowbell" sketch to another human being, but okay, here we go....

First: Yes, there's a joke, and no, it's not watching other people pretend they get it. They actually get it. You're the one who's lost. The joke of the SNL "Cowbell" sketch is that there is a song, which everyone knows, that has an unusual element right in plain sight (so to speak) that nobody really thought about before. This is what's called "observational comedy."
