I know a lot of people think Cam is stereotypical, but as a gay guy I've known my fair share of Cams. They're drama queens.

I can't blame people for expecting a more straightforward take on this story. I like this because it's not what I expected at all.
I'm guessing the guy from room 9.
Given the familiarity of Hitchcock's Psycho, I think the creators of this series knew it would be impossible to develop a backstory that would please everyone. So, frankly, I admire them for taking things in some very unexpected directions and making a show that's been pretty darn unpredictable. The casting of Farmiga…
The direction of that scene reminded me of Hitchcock's direction in The Birds, where he has Tippi Hedren's character looking through the diner window at various things happening outside. A shot of her face, then cut to an explosion, back and forth, etc. Today that scene feels a bit campy and off, but on this show they…
Six seasons into this show now and it's unfathomable to me that Hamm, Moss and Hendricks don't have Emmys for their work. Seriously, it's mindboggling.
I don't know… I thought this was a solid B episode. I probably laughed more at this hour than I did during the entirety of season 8. Lots of great moments here, including the shot of David Wallace realizing that Andy did indeed take a dump on his car.
I disagree. She's hilarious. And there's only one of her - it took both Olsen twins to make that one character on Full House unbearable.
I loved a couple of things about this episode. First, Norma's explanation of what sex does to a woman's body. Second, the fact that the manager of the restaurant of a town where people are literally set on fire and hung in the street is careful about what businesses she promotes. Third, Dylan tells Norma the weird guy…
I don't know exactly what happened behind the scenes with the writers, but the Kalinda character is now my least favorite of the entire series. I actually like the daughter, Grace, more than Kalinda at this point. I wonder if the creators/writers felt they had to beef up Kalinda's part because Archie Panjabi was a…
My favorite part was when Patty Nyholm went to the back of the courtroom and asked her how many fingers she was holding up. And then Diane objected to the Perry Mason theatrics and the judge said, "And yet I never get tired of them."
Agreed. I have a Cuisinart glass blender that's thick and heavy. It could easily be used as a murder weapon. I liked the hilarious perversity of Norman using a common household kitchen appliance to do the trick.
With this episode I am finally convinced they are trying to make a dark comedy. I just wish they were better at it. Nevertheless, I'm hooked. Vera Farmiga's Norma is a blast to watch. I busted out laughing when she had to return the hug from Emma. There was so much going on on her face, it was like she was thinking,…
Anyone who stuck around for the scenes from next week's episode saw that Alicia and Will are going to get hot and heavy in a car, probably in a parking garage. Now, if I were writing this show, I'd throw a big wrench in the works for the season finale. For instance, Mike Kresteva (Matthew Perry) can't be happy that…
Luke has certainly evolved since the first season, but still gets some great lines. Like when Lily yelled,"I know my ABCs!" and he responded, "Oh, was it not all about you for a minute?"
This first time a hallucination happened (with Norma entering Norman's room and essentially telling him to retrieve the belt), I accepted it because they made it obvious that Norman was imagining her presence. I also figured that the sex scene with Bradley was also an hallucination (looking like the kind of romance…
Well, I'm in for these first ten episodes at least. I laughed out loud a couple of times and I think that's what they wanted. I also think they are deliberately scripting the tonal shifts. Let's not forget this is a show from one of the guys behind Lost (Carlton Cuse), so I was prepared to be fucked with. So far, so…
I don't know… I liked the original and Evil Dead II a lot, but I don't feel any real need to see this. It's essentially the third version of the same story from another director's perspective with more money behind it and the gore and mayhem cranked up to 11. Based on the reviews I've read, it sounds more like an…
I don't know, I'm kinda digging this show. I didn't find this episode boring at all and I thought it was an improvement over the first episode. I'm sticking with it for no other reason than Farmiga saying things like, "And what is your life expectancy?"
Back in the 1930s and '40s the Best Picture race was ten pictures, so there's Academy precedent for that. And I'd argue that in any given year there are ten genuinely great films made. But then they undermine the whole idea of expanding the category by nominating mediocre crap like The Blind Side or critically panned…
