Point of order: I think WW was incredible, and I DO suck cock by choice.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Hurt. That's a pretty astounding performance, too.

I'll back you up on this: Norm MacDonald's set on the Sagat roast is one of the very best things they've done on the CC roast series. I'd also include Bea Arthur's stone-cold set on Pam Anderson, and (especially) Gilbert Gottfried's long-winded story about Joan Rivers in hers.

The Proposition is about as mixed a bag as a mixed bag can be. Ray Winstone's performance is absolutely titanic. Emily Watson's is terrible, but her character is poorly written. The moral dilemmas that drive the plot are compelling and treated seriously; the visuals are astoundingly tangible (you feel like you…

I need to see this one again.
I had an immediate positive reaction to Tropical Malady, and to a lesser extent Syndromes. I wasn't sure about Blissfully Yours but I liked it more and more as I thought about it later. Boonmee's going to take some work for me: the scenes that worked blew me out of my seat (especially…

Ditto on Tropical Malady. I was enjoying it pleasantly enough until its ending, and it hit me like a wall. Favorite movie of the last decade.

I would watch the hell out of that Utopia movie.
Someone get this man funding. I want to see Jane Fonda and Gates McFadden reading Bradbury on a snow-bound Enterprise.

Alicia Keys is okay,
but I love love her use of synths in the chorus of "No One", which is just off-kilter enough to work.

I think the problem is that it shoots for Biblical and falls pretty short. King has some real strengths as a writer (someone below mentioned the throw-away chapter about the second-wave of deaths, probably the strongest in the book), but ending his novels is not one of them.

Lursa and B'Etor
In ST's gallery of villains, they're close to my favorite: if TNG can't write sympathetic women, they at least do a fine job with evil ones. Too bad the sisters got sucked into that black hole of a movie (Generations).

She's the queen of non sequiturs:

Love this show.
If they gave RuPaul a show just reading a phone book for an hour, I'd probably still watch: she's that funny. The promos for this season have us cracking up: "Watch… or DIE".

"haha… Twenty Percent."
Koechner's delivery is so perfect (just a hint of menace)… favorite line of the episode.

I'd still put your money on Colin Firth, but yeah, I wouldn't at all be disappointed if Bridges were to win.

The sports formula is more or less intact, but very few sports movies have as broad a range - and pull it off as well - as BA does. Most of the movie is about social class, generational conflict, self-identity and coming of age, etc. plus a romantic comedy plus a buddy movie, and then there's a race at the end. …

Yep:
"a motley aggregation of dreamers and wannabes pool together their sometimes negligible creative resources to create something that would fill them with shame if they weren't so blissfully devoid of self-consciousness", which makes Guffman the opposite of Glee.

I go to classical concerts more often than rock concerts, so sitting down isn't a backhanded compliment to me. I loved everything about Sufjan's concert: and seeing "Get Real Get Right" against projections of Robertson's artwork, I felt like I suddenly 'got' it.

Saw him when he came through Los Angeles, and I have to agree. Performance art with a generous sense of humor. I've never come out of a concert with such a strong sense of wanting to sit through the whole thing again, from the start.

Fun fact:
Rosalind Chao, who plays Keiko, was originally picked to play Tasha Yar. Try to wrap your brain around THAT show.

The Age of Adz.
B- at first, then I kept going back to it, now I think it's the strongest work he's ever done. The very definition of a slow burn album.
