Nicholson is clownish, but I find his clowning from the same clown school that spawned John Wayne Gacy. THE WORST CLOWN COLLEGE EVER

I know there's people out there that don't think The Departed is a Scorcese masterwork. But it gets better every time I see it: goddamn entertaining from start to finish, weird and stylised in the exact ways Scorcese is known for, the actors all bring as much as they can to every scene, and it's about as hard-boiled

Ant-Man really should have been mentioned by this article; it was a more concentrated effort to tell a smaller, less grandiose story and I think it paid off, generally; it was also I guess about a father / son relationship in some regards. At least, it was my favourite recent Marvel movie by a pretty significant

BLURSE

He's usually pretty fantastic; wish he was in more stuff!

McDiarmid can be pretty great - in season two of Utopia, especially, he's incredibly sympathetic for kind of a piece of shit.

Watching Boston Rob pretend to have brutal diarrhea as an excuse to go look for the immunity idol was some pretty fantastic TV. Also when he threw the other idol clue into the volcano.

AH Australia and CBS have a sometimes-shonky working relationship when it comes to seeing secret scenes.

He's getting the post-Cook Islands Ozzie edit. An absolute challenge monster who everybody adores that has next to zero chance of winning the game.

Totally agree; I think Mike's challenge wins last season were fascinating because they were utterly necessary: Joe hasn't been on anybody's radar except Stephen's, while Mike was public enemy number one for a lot of the time. So as soon as he'd win a challenge, he'd realise that his luck probably wouldn't last, and

DEEVOLUTION IS FUCKING REAL AND WE'RE ALL GETTING STUPIDER, there the mystery of Bieber's popularity surge is solved

That thematically ties in directly to Peggy's answer about events not occurring in a vacuum.

I found their first scene and very final scene fantastic; the line 'this IS a dream' (or something similar) immediately before one of them is killed resonated with me in a deeply unsettling way.

Game Of Thrones! Too much rape. Game Of Jones! Not enough.

Keanu Reeves and Pharrel for the new Bill and Ted

One of the reviews mentioned it before, but Betsy is by far the smartest and probably strongers of all the characters. She's facing down bigger personal struggles than most of the others, and puts together the whole 'Peggy smashed Rye with the car' scenario during a god damn hairdressing appointment.

They're very different but both fantastic right out of the gate. I will say that I found Odenkirk in Fargo S1 to be way more enjoyable to watch than Saul Goodman's early appearances, though.

I think Peggy and Ed are good at surviving because they're both a) incredibly lucky and b) continuously being underestimated. Nobody thought either of them was anything but how they presented themselves - a friendly butcher and his bubbly wife - until Lou put it together. Dodd and Hahnzee don't actually think Ed is

What a fantastic episode. Offerman crushed it, going from hilarious and larger-than-life to somehow using the exact same amount of bluster to be tiny and balanced. I expect this to lead almost directly into the next episode, as we still haven't seen the fallout from Milligan's assault on the farm, and presumably the

Let it do one more season as a full-blown Lovecraft bleak detective horror monster show and then shut it down.
