Lisa has evidently never seen The Langoliers, where Dean Stockwell calls a younger character, who’s white, “Dear boy” about every five minutes.

I’m routinely on Twitter. I always see that what’s trending are sports games, athletes, scores, many at the same time per online visit. Which makes me think that if Americans loved the interest and hobby of following the news and politics as much as they love and follow sports, we’d become so well-informed and fix our…

The economic elites here have won the messaging war, helped by our continuing racism, in convincing too many that the status quo of they redistributing wealth upward, stealing from the middle and working classes, is somehow “freedom”, “liberty” and the “American way” So what should be the party of labor and the…

TIL: The late Beau Biden had Coldplay as his favorite band. That’s why Biden’s president-elect acceptance party played it as part of the soundtrack. I’m glad I had such an ally in loving Coldplay, a genuinely great band whose music is gorgeous and thrilling. The lyrics don’t matter so much.

70 million people and counting voted for the guy who lied about voter fraud for months in an open, blatant attempt to subvert democracy, delegitimize a free and fair election, and prevent your vote from being counted.

I just saw The Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw give it five stars in his review. Surprised a Fincher film got a C from the AVClub. Without looking up the other movies, I just had assumed his work always got higher marks here. Though Ben Button may have. Liked that film when I saw it but don’t want to rewatch because it…

This sounds like it could be popular with the anti-choice crowd.

Thanks. Like her final response about only wanting to do “true work.” She’s a phenomenal actress who I think is underrated as one because she’s so prolific. Terrence Malick should cast her in a film.

Now I want to see Diane Keaton in a Western.

I thought about this but dismissed it as being very hacky and lazy, not keeping with the quality we've seen so far. Would be a great disappointment if the show went down that path.

We haven’t seen how these two crime families actually run their businesses. I even forgot how they make their money. Showing the operations, especially Loy’s, would be interesting and provide stakes for the war where one or both can lose them.

I forgot to mention in my post how much I loved the ending. Wonderful character progression, meticulously put down from the beginning, going from worried wife to completely disillusioned and betrayed partner by the end. I’m glad she called the police. It was the right thing to do if he’s actually innocent.

That was a fantastic episode. Bier can direct Kafka. I wonder if the source novel was influenced by The Trial. Superb visual and moody ways of depicting Grace’s increasing disorientation and Twilight Zone unraveling shock. And using the pathetic fallacy of the weather. Then the last act becomes kind of an Others…

“Why couldn’t Ethan Hawke play George Harrison?” he thought, before remembering the plot and the relationship btwn the two actors. But still, if Hawke can play John Brown so well, I’m sure his British accent is good. Oh, he also might be too old for the part. Never mind. I got election’s-on-Tuesday! brain and aren’t…

Why, yes, an entire family moved into your house, took out all your furniture, put in theirs, and rearranged the interior, while you were at the party. Happens all the time.

I laughed, so mission accomplished, sir.

God, Felicity Jones is so beautiful. An English girl to marry, says I. Daisy Ridley and Hayley Atwell in that group too.

I wasn’t thinking of Malvo. He was interesting and had more of a character than this guy.

The scholarship could have.

Same. I was pleased he was dead until the news he wasn't. Psychopathic characters are also drama killers, so very boring.
