The winner receives Tara, because land is the only thing worth working for, worth fighting for, worth dying for, because it's the only thing that lasts.

I really liked that scene with the Drunken Knight too. I fear that bringing him back augurs something bad in his future, but I'm really hoping it was instead just a brief, isolated moment of warmth.

Peak of his career!

I still remember the scene from Season One in which she talked about (if I remember correctly) the stillborn birth of her first child. Whenever she does something odious, I remember that scene, which keeps a few embers of sympathy burning.

I went back and read some of the AVC review comments from the first season of Treme, and it's amazing to see how many people assumed that Sonny would end up murdering and cooking Annie (as something similar happened in real life).

You can't beat Irangate (which graduated from a -gate to a full-fledged Affair), especially when you factor in this memorable postscript from George Mitchell: https://www.youtube.com/wat….

AAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!

HEH HEH! GET 'IM, MA!

To me, the funniest thing is that he introduces himself with "I am Carvallo" instead of "I am Lee." It's such an anachronistic, old person thing to do.

Indeed, some of my favorite films are similar procedurals - The Insider, Zodiac, and Moneyball come to mind.

Yeah, I've wondered about this myself. If it was purely coincidental, I bet Woodward and Bernstein were pretty tickled when they learned that Holbrook was cast.

Haha, I'm relieved that law school won't be like that, but just a little disappointed as well.

I'm going to be starting law school in the fall, and most schools still mention John Houseman and The Paper Chase when describing common perceptions of the experience. That film's had remarkable longevity!

Ahahaha, I hoped someone would take the bait.

There's so much to love about this film, but I'll focus on one element in particular: the complete awesomeness of the recreated Washington Post newsroom, complete with authentic Post trash! George Jenkins and George Gaines really deserved their Best Art Direction Oscar.

I always thought Pakula had a lot of confidence in the material and the performers. Things like the long take of Woodward on the phone - complete with Redford's great flub - may seem somewhat risky, but you're right, the whole thing's just so interesting that it's utterly watchable.

"Are you insane? Or are your pants too tight?!"

AROOOOOOO!!!!!!

Wacky Delly did it.
