It was a good film, but it would have been even better if there was less focus on all the ins and outs of the dig and more on Atari's collapse and what did and didn't work with the ET game. What I really liked was the way they humanized the game developer and highlighted his previous good works. He really deserved a…

I'd rather watch Saul patiently waiting 86 seconds for another figurine than 44 min of network TV whiz bang comedy drama 'splosions. This series is so enaging I'm thinking Dr Faustus is on a subliminal loop.
It's the attention to detail that makes me focus on every scene. Like the one in the retirement home with the…

I honestly can't decide if Neal's treatment in the finale by Sorkin is due to the fact that he's colored or that he's the IT-guy. Possibly the latter.

Ridiculous plots? Look up English history from say 500AD to 1500AD, or Rome, or Byzantium. Apart from dragons and White Walkers GRRM is pretty much true to the madness and chaos that is early history.

One of us! One of us!

Oh please. I love both actors to death, but Hiddlestone can pull off major Shakespear AND Loki's ridiculous horns with equal panache! He is way ahead on the curve.
