Carter’s complaint states that the adaptation, written by Sorkin, “deviates too much from the novel, and violates a contract, between Ms. Lee and the producers, which stipulates that the characters and plot must remain faithful to the spirit of the book.”

By comparing clips from the Netflix series to clips from Letterman’s old Late Show interviews and interviews on similar late-night talk shows, Flight argues that the traditional way of filming an interview has gone unchanged for so many years for a reason.

Fantasy scenario: Spurs are somehow able to just barely hold on to the #8 seed. They then Kawhi & Aldridge back just in time and take out the Rockets in the first round.

“Maybe just get rid of this one before he destroys the career of somebody who can actually play.”

It wrapped filming months ago.

Its viewership and budget were pretty much identical to Boardwalk Empire. That show premiered a few years after Rome ended and ran five seasons.

Rome was a great show that had the misfortune of airing at a time when HBO was still slightly budget conscious. If it premiered a few years later it would’ve run five seasons.

Favorite Wire scene of his was a quick one in the season 4 finale. Norman and Royce’s chief of staff commiserating about how politicians always disappoint due to their lofty ambitions, a 30-second scene that completely recontextualized his character’s point of view.

I think people are seriously underestimating just how widespread Tarantino’s POV was at that time, in both the filmmaking and critical community.

Very true, but I ain’t greedy. I’d be willing to let them keep a few.

And they’re two boneheaded opposing coach decisions away from having lost five Super Bowls in a row. Just thinking of what a better world that would be makes me teary-eyed

WinBack was a fun game. It still kind of eats at me that I gave up on the game at the very final level because I could never get past that final laser where you only had like a second to deactivate it before it kills you.

The fact that all it took for this to happen, after months of no accountability, was Nassar being the number one sports story for even a single day really puts in perspective just how undercovered it’s been.

That poster is fake.

The Academy suddenly souring on Tom Hanks over the last decade or so continues to be one of the great Oscar mysteries out there. This is now the third time in five years that he’s starred in a best picture nominee (Captain Phillips, Bridge Of Spies, The Post) and not gotten nominated. And that’s not even counting…

10 point swing on that first half delay of game penalty. Legitimately cost the Jaguars the game.

Main objection is to the climax of the episode, where a career criminal just decides to confess to a murder for no apparent reason other than providing closure to the audience.

I liked Doggett too, but I can’t get over how badly they botched resolving his dead son. The resolution was such a good idea on paper: Having it not be the least bit supernatural, just some mobster killing him because he was a witness to something. But the execution ended up being so silly.

I’m having trouble imagining any American studios (or A-list actors) that’ll be willing to hop on the Allen grenade going forward. The blowback is getting too strong.
