The romantic drama is bolstered by its excellent cast even when the movie fails to deliver on the themes and ideas it hopes to explore. Onscreen, romance is best communicated through looks. Sometimes a look is tinted with regret, like in the final glances shared by Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman in 1942’s Casablanca. Other times, a look is almost violent in its lustfulness, like those shared by Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck in the 1944 noir Double Indemnity.

The LEGO Movie, which opens this weekend, stars LEGO Batman, LEGO Superman, LEGO Wonder Woman, and LEGO Green Lantern. Past LEGO sets have re-created The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, the Harry Potter movies, and many other franchises. But true LEGO fans don’t sit around waiting for the Danish company to get around to adapting their favorite movies or characters into toys: These LEGO fiends often custom build their own sets, hand-painting minifigs (that’s LEGO people, to the uninitiated) and re-creating famous pop-culture buildings, landscapes, and vehicles to turn their favorite blockbusters into blocks.

For 43 years, the game show has been a staple of Saturday Night Live. But Black Jeopardy, the brainchild of writer Bryan Tucker and head writer Michael Che, stands out from all of its predecessors for not only being a clever, enduring concept, but also because it articulates something that often goes unsaid in society. Through these sketches, Tucker and Che — along with host Kenan Thompson, recurring cast members, and the various guest hosts — show us that black culture is simultaneously esoteric and universal all at once.

The shotgun wedding between Black Jack Randall and Mary Hawkins could not have been more remote or wretched, but how could it be otherwise, when you have two people who do not love each other getting married next to a deathbed? But as is so often the case on Outlander, it’s Claire’s meddling in the past that ensures the future — in this case, Frank’s existence.

Over the next few weeks, Vulture is talking to the screenwriters behind 2012’s most acclaimed movies about the scenes they found most difficult to crack. What pivotal sequences underwent the biggest transformations on their way from script to screen? Today, Beasts of the Southern Wild screenwriter Lucy Alibar (who co-wrote the film with director Benh Zeitlin) discusses a scene that she found personally wrenching, as told to Kyle Buchanan:

From Twilight. It’s bewildering how the last ten years have flown by, but also that the most legendary bit of comedy ever put to film is only a decade old. It’s such a cultural touchstone of universally agreed-upon comic genius that it feels like it’s been around forever. But the numbers don’t lie. The funniest movie scene ever created reached movie theaters on November 21, 2008. Obviously, I’m talking about the vampire baseball scene from Twilight.
