Somebody needs to tell JMS that he is a truly gifted sci-fi writer, but he for the love of God cannot write comedy. Not to say he can never write a funny joke (I chuckled at some line-reading in a previous episode), those little tiny moments are not worth his nose-dives into actual comedy. It's one of the most…

Yeah, that episode was definitely a turning point, but as somebody who was not digging season one, I couldn't tell if it was just another exciting (but empty) gesture or a bonafide seismic shift. After 6 or so episodes, it's finally dawned on me that it was a true turning point. Even minor episodes like "Gropos"…

Forgot to mention that I've finally seemed to hit Babylon 5's point of no-return with regards to consistent quality. I'm about 16 episodes into Season 2. I've long accepted that its acting is campy, its dialogue is choppy and obvious, and some other flaws. But it's finally telling a story worth watching, and making…

You sick, festive, son of a bitch!

Not to mention what a random kid extra shouts afterwards, that FOX has apparently tried to remove all trace of:

The problem with that is I already had you down for 10 slots for Jingle All the Way, because of all the various thematic depths you could reach with that film.

Okay, so this weekend, I will be finalizing the roster for the 2016 Advent Calendar. Currently we have:
-Tereglith
-SG Standard
-glazomaniac
-The Narrator
-Occam's Blazer
-Stingo
-Loki1001
-Antonionian
-Dr. Regina Phalange
-Ege Bamyasi
-Affrosponge88

We did, I meant to agree and basically just repeated because I can't stop myself from rambling about how much I hate the film.

Yeah, I'm aware of the thematic tie-ins, but that's like me making a movie about a precocious kid in a prep school and saying that Rushmore is a big influence on my film.

I would definitely watch Intimate Agony again before watching this, which is honestly one of the saddest things I've ever said.

So I watched The Leisure Class, directed and written by Project Greenlight's S4 winner Jason Mann.

For a best friend, she was very ineffectual in situations where you would need a best friend.

So last night three brave men (Dave, Occams, and myself) ventured into unknown cinematic territory as we liveblogged a film that had no watches on Letterboxd (until we came along). It was a made for tv film from the '80s centering around an outbreak of herpes in a seaside resort town, and the pandemonium it creates…

Did he make a Soderbergh reference?

Go with Baccano!

This is a surprisingly rational answer to my question. I'm not even mad. I'm impressed.

Yeah, I haven't seen any of the other films, but I haven't heard positive things about any of them.

You were that guy in Room 237 who had a baby crying in the background the entire time, weren't you? Also, where'd you get the baby?!

I agree with everything you've said here and can't really add much other than just wait until the final episode, which is the episode that basically made me lose all respect for Jason, even if Effie is the more "immature" person (at least she's kind of good at her job, considering if Jason's movie sucks, which it…

I did not know this existed and will be digesting this and commenting soon enough tonight. Thanks for the link! You're one of the good ones. I'm the furthest thing away from a Kubrick expert (which is funny, since two of his films are in my top 15 films of all time- Eyes Wide Shut at #5, and The Shining at #11), but…
