"…if nothing else, the writers know how to use the zombies well…"

Ever since they opened up the Best Picture category to potentially 10 nominations and still only nominate five directors, somebody's obviously gonna get "snubbed."

Actually, the guy who makes Oscar predictions for The Hollywood Reporter correctly picked Ang Lee, citing a number of reasons for that win. While I think conventional wisdom probably thought it was a lock for Spielberg, I picked Lee in the Oscar pool I do with my friends. Lee that the biggest challenges of everyone…

Yup. In the second season finale, the remaining survivors were all in a group except for Andrea, and after Rick's big "this-is-not-a-democracy-I'm-in-charge" speech, the camera pulls back and then up and over the woods and shows us the prison in the distance, well within walking distance. It's strains credulity that…

B+? No, a C at best. This was one of the worst written episodes of the entire season. Everything this show does badly was here (stupid dialogue, lazy characterization, incredible leaps in logic) with a dollop of what it does best (Andrea unleashing the pack of zombies on the Governor in that abandoned building - even…

"Basically, the writers wanted to put Sheldon, Leonard, and Howard in front of junior high girls, the cruelest beasts known to man, and see what happened."
Wow.

I'll check it out. Thanks!

When I read your comment, it made me think about that. I was a child when Love Story came out and I remember if being a huge sensation. So, I looked it up and discovered it was, in fact, the top grossing film of 1970. She had one successful film prior to it, Goodbye Columbus, and arguably one successful film after it,…

I loved this book when I read it about two years ago. At least once in every chapter I would marvel at the breathtaking detail in his storytelling and think, "That can't be true." For instance, Evans says that he hated Coppola's cut of The Godfather so much that he supervised a stealthy  re-editing of the whole movie…

I quite liked this episode. It was almost as if it was written by… writers.

Daryl and Carol are pretty much the only characters I like and don't want to see die in some horrible way (okay, Carl and the baby can live, too). I wanted them to kill off Merle in this episode. Horribly. As in, zombies eating him alive. I have loathed that character since his first appearance. And I'm betting that…

That awkward moment when you realize the man you've been sleeping with keeps a secret collection of severed heads in an aquarium wall. And then, if you're Andrea, you barely have a reaction to it anyway.

It's amazing how much people are willing to forgive about this show as long as a lot of zombies are dispatched each week.

Well, I've watched since episode one. I've watched some episodes multiple times. My biggest problems with this show are the dialogue, lack of character development (what, exactly, did we know about T Dog before he was eaten alive?) and the clumsy continuity. Your explanation of RIck's possible whore's bath simply…

Here's what undermined the entire episode for me. Rick begins the episode as a bloody mess taking a phone call from the dead. He subsequently emerges from the room to join the others and is all cleaned up. No blood, no sweat. He's wearing new clothes. Where, exactly, did Crazy Rick shower and find fresh clothes?…

NBC aired an hour-long cast/series retrospective before the final episode of the series a few years ago. Paul McCrane (Romano) said flatly and unequivocally that he didn't like what they did to his character at all. He was unhappy and disappointed, not just because they killed him off, but because of how they chose to…
