he's not even gay but he'll do it.

word.

sometimes it is.

it took me until the third viewing to finally figure out the connection between the hilarious opening scene and the brilliant but less funny rest of the film. i guess i was pretty dense in 2000.

what i loved about saracen and tami pushing coach this week was how in both cases, he saw them pushing for things that he felt was not in either of their best interests. he was super stressed arguing with either of them because he knows the longer tami fantasizes about dream house, the harder the comedown to reality.…

i hate the hold steady. boring.

at least with biker chick last year, she just looked annoyed. it's genuinely uncomfortable watching scott during the group numbers. my issue.

i kind of thought that was the point, that sam doesn't really know what the devil sees and what he doesn't. so, while he tries to keep a general eye out, all he can really do is pursue his own agenda whenever possible and hope the devil's got something better to do that day. since that isn't always true, that's kind…

and horrendous 'acting' from magic johnson.

yeah, but hk's more fun drama from mediocre people. top chef's drama comes more from the bullshit that seems built into the structure of the show. i had hoped season 2's vicious bullying and subsequent editing was a one-time fluke, but watching them shape last season, it seems i will be forever frustrated by their…

wish danny would too.

small theater. maybe 8 rows total. couple in their 50's behind my wife and i talked, not whispered, talked through the whole movie. 'no country' has no music, 50 percent of the scenes have one character on screen, so not a lot of dialogue. and all the comments were as though describing the…

i laughed my fucking ass off, but man the plot was just the same again and again and again. every script starts with 'chuck and sarah : go to 1.'

for only the fourth time this season.

cerberus
i can't take dave sim seriously due to his misogyny and refuse to read his works. most times i can separate the art from the artist, but for some reason not in this case.

yet i'm bemused by carla's obsession with 'love.' as in, 'my food sucked but i sent it out with love, so it's 50-50.'

yeah, his shit during restaurant wars was way more conceptual. everything tonight just seemed thrown together.

every time toby young actually commented without trying to make some kind of ridiculous pop culture pun, he was usually pretty interesting. when he was direct, his comments were valuable to me.
