Oh! That makes much more sense. I must have blinked as I was reading.

You genuinely hadn't heard about Hamilton until today? I don't know how that is even possible! I was the first in my circle to know about it, only because I'm a theatre person from CT/NY, but now even people who know nothing about anything know about it! And I'm in a tiny town in Oregon!

I saw it last night, and it wasn't very good, but there were a couple of things about it that were interesting. The whole film is shot handheld and in extreme close-up, which had the effect of making me feel I was inside the heads of these three women, and as such, completely trapped in a beautiful, but terrible,…

To be fair, Gone Girl was so outrageously implausible as to be laugh-out-loud funny, but it had all kinds of other stuff in it, specifically Amy's jaundiced view of marriage and being female, to redeem it. And the film was a brilliant study in style, but it didn't bother to make any of the plot points more possible in…

You can't separate the greatness of this movie from the fact that a woman is at the center of it, for several reasons. Weaver never lets us forget that Ripley is terrified, like in that moment in the elevator when she closes her eyes and gathers her strength, but instead of pretending she's not in the macho way that…

I will watch Jeffrey Wright do just about anything in just about anything. As for the show itself, I am intrigued and cautiously optimistic.

It's probably for the best, but it is sad that the creator can't tell her/her family's story. Whether discussing and laughing about it politically correct or not, it is what happened in her household. She should be able to tell her story.

I laughed out loud, probably for the first time in who even knows how long, so that's a good sign.

It was soooo bad, but not just bad. Surreal. The entire movie, and the movie-viewing experience, take place in the Uncanny Valley. Watching it was a very weird experience that I can't fully describe. The best way to explain it might be this: You know how you watch Edina and Patsy in AbFab making complete…

oh my god it can't have been 25 years ago, was it really 25 years ago? it can't be 25 years old, oh my god oh my god oh my god, not 25 years it can't have been 25 years was it really 25 years ago?????

I was a film student still, headed for the art house myself, and a friend convinced me to see The Terminator, over my vociferous objections. "You will love it," he said, and he was right. I saw it several times, then T2, and I still watch the two of them, back to back, on cold, rainy winter days, turned up loud. I…

Nice recap, but please learn the difference between there, their, and they're! Thank you.

I thought we were having a discussion. I didn't realize I was supposed to laugh at what you wrote (not sure where the joke is located) and "move on." Sorry to have upset you so badly.

That is a generalization that doesn't hold true in practice. Most of Much Ado is written in prose. Many important speeches by noble characters are written in prose. Whole sections of Taming of the Shrew and Hamlet have such characters speaking in prose. There were deeper reasons than merely the speaker being a…

You don't even need to get as far as orgasm; their true self is revealed long before then.

Comments like this drive me crazy. There is nothing elite or elitist in Shakespeare. Everyone saw his plays, standing on the floor for hours, while he gave them murders, magic, and the fall of kings. The work was for "the commoners."

Nice to see that live "Coyote" again after a million years.

It seems to me that a big part of the purpose of this extended battle scene was to show us that, for whatever reason, Jon isn't killable anymore.

They were there, then they went black.

Shae drove me up the wall. She'd better not come back.
