I'm not so familiar with Rimbaud's poems, but just last weekend I was watching a movie about his life - after the coffee exporting and the Ethiopian arms dealing, he apparently went to Afghanistan to rescue his former military commander and longtime best friend from the hands of an extremely powerful and ruthless…

Well, nobody's perfect.

My knowledge of 1970s TV is pretty sketchy, but yes, I believe so.

No, you're thinking of Kodiak, the 1970s TV show about a brown Kodiak bear that solves crimes in Alaska. It was one of Quinn-Martin Productions' worst-rating shows.

Yes. The made-for-TV Wuthering Heights with Hardy as Heathcliff was in there somewhere, too.

Ah yes, the one-cassette household. For us, it was Andy Williams' Greatest Hits (1970).

Because they cut into valuable time that could be better spent promoting Hormel Black Label Bacon.

Merry Christmas, LandRoverRangeRover dealership!

Crimes against good taste and / or common sense committed by this band:

"Sweet Jaime", probably: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

Yes, the Second-and-a-Half-Doctor, between Troughton and Pertwee.

Yes! With Luis Guzmán as the companion. And Rob Zombie as showrunner.

Hey, it's Richard Brody from The New Yorker! Thanks for commenting, Mr. Brody!

She's pretty good at acting too, if this movie's anything to go by. (She and Dan Fogler were actually the highlight of the movie for me - I wanted to spend more time with their characters, rather than the two leads, who were kind of dull.)

Not Jack Sparrowy, but not the other thing either, sadly.

She might be thinking of "Once & Again", the ABC show she starred in at the beginning of her career.

I never know what to make of Mamet's opinions about acting. He might be a great authority on stage acting, but when he writes about acting for the screen, he genuinely doesn't seem to know what he's talking about - the techniques he dislikes are the things actors use to (ideally) produce great naturalistic…

Is McLean still doing this exploitative shit? I wonder if it ever occurs to him that if Mick Taylor's real-life, serial-murderer counterpart hadn't killed a number of actual backpackers a couple of decades ago, McLean wouldn't have a career at all? Fuck him.

Yeah, they should probably just turn off the comments function on this article.

What?! No. I can't believe anyone thinks she's legitimately bad in this. She's been in some real stinkers, but that Oscar is rightfully hers.
