Thanks for being a dbag. I don't think it would have required too many changes in the ending and probably even less killing. My point was that Walt has continued to let his former life dictate how he makes decisions. The final scene in Granite State seemed to imply that Walt was finally gone and that all that would…

I disagree with this assessment as I didn't like Walt because he became a truly evil man willing to hospitalize children and murder people fairly indiscriminately. For example Todd killed that kid in the desert but Walt was pretty okay with hiding it. Walt is an evil man.

For a show that took as many risks as it did this ending felt like the safest cop out ever. Walt gets to be the hero and finds partial redemption while also being able to get 8 million dollars to his family albeit in way he would rather have not done. Throughout its run Gilligan said this was about a person becoming…

I highly doubt this will be any better than BBC's recent 3 part mini-series starring Gillian Anderson as Miss Havisham. Gillian was amazing and the mini-series had near film level production quality.

Hey Mike, I'd like to make a correction. Ellis's mom never is implied as a cheater ever. Period, full stop. In fact nothing any of the women do is really bad, in fact you have to be pretty backward thinking to think what any of them do is negative. It is in fact the male characters that make all the wrong choices and…

Pun for the win!!!!

Which is kind of the same way Piper acts and is why they are perfect for each other. Also remember Larry only has second hand knowledge of everything in short visits and phone calls. Combined with the fact that is Fiance is in a confined space with a former lover.

Don't forget that Larry is constantly being shamed for living off his parents and when Piper blows their chance at being financially independent suddenly the need for his writing to succeed is even greater, so he does what any writer would do and writes about what is dominating his life.

In defense of Larry. While Larry's on air story telling wasn't the best move by him I hardly saw him as being despicable. Don't forget he is taking a lot of guff from his parents about staying with Piper as well as constantly being chastised for living off his parents. Combine that with the fact that Piper completely…

I don't know I like how this episode really forces the viewer to consider "christian" forgiveness. After all the episode forces us to empathize with Brad Dourif's character which being the amazing actor he is, he pulls off. At the end though we are forced to then be put in the place of Brad Dourif's character's…

Too bad all evidence shows otherwise. That anytime the brain is damaged in anyway we see a change in consciousness and personality. If consciousness was non-local damage to the brain should not result in change in personality or actions and yet the latter is true.

Really don't want to get into too much of a debate, but frankly non-local consciousness is silly to me. The more evidence we gather about the mind the more it is tied to the physical. After-all any time the physical brain is altered/damaged in anyway we see a change in personality. Wherever we see physical damage we…

In response to both Cookie_Monster and Worlds First, do you really think someone as strong willed as Talisa would have just stood by and accepted not going, not to mention wanting to be with her husband. Its the exact sort of miscalculation Robb makes and had continued to make. Here is a decent review from a fairly…

I don't blame him Babylon 5 has brought in over a billion $ in revenue for its parent company and JMS hasn't seen any of it due to Hollywood Accounting.

I've been watching this at work recently and going back after being away from the poorly remember Voyager, I've got to say I misjudged it originally. Since it was on I had gone back and watched all TOS which is now my favorite Star Trek, and now watching Voyager it really closer to the TOS than most of the other…

This exactly. The whole time I was watching it it felt like it was ashamed it was a Star Trek movie. Up until the TNG movies and even some of those there is a real earnestness to Trek films even though they are of varying quality TOS films definitely have the feeling that the people involved loved the universe and and…

I actually enjoyed this far, far more than Secret World of Arietty. It had emotion, depth, beauty and was just the right film my girlfriend needed at the time.

I haven't seen this yet, and I was once a fan of Malick, I own everything he's made but after Tree of Life I just don't care for his work anymore. Its funny that I was reminded of Malick's work when watching this kind of stuffy critic dissecting Star Wars. Here is the link for your perusal:

Actually from what I recall its because he decided to devote his time to philosophy. In particular Heidegger. Its why I think his films lack pretension but I think are much more analogous to prog rock noodling. He makes film for himself and anyone who is really into spiritualist philosophy and abstract film making.

Love your profile image. Its from the Original DVD release correct? The only one I can find now is the white cover. I got that one right when it came out and it apparently went out of print.
