As I shall be known from now on… the Green Vegetable!

I rewatched it for the first time recently and it doesn't quite pack the same punch because the uncertainty about what's going to happen is gone, but it's still very good.

I agree entirely. I love this film because it marries the paranoid thriller style of the 70s to a social-realist aesthetic. For me, this movie was a white-knuckle ride. The long tracking shots weren't art-house affectation. They were key to trapping you in a story over which you had no control and couldn't trust an…

I haven't seen this since it came out, but I always think of it when someone mentions Costner. It's just an amazing performance.

Emma Rigby was fantastic in the BBC series Prisoners' Wives; she's got really great range. If she's a weak link here, that's another sign the show doesn't know what it's about.

Sure. One of the coolest things about this series is how ambivalent it remains about Emily. But the show seemed to want us to think he'd atoned for his sins, but that only works if he'd been given that atonement by some external source. "Completely justified" was wrong on my part - I just meant that the priest's…

The Catholic Church would have more problems with an adult woman, because they couldn't blame that on teh gayness and it might result in children.

Whereas I liked in when I came out, but in the years since its reputation made me doubt my own judgement and suspect I'd been misled by my combined fanboyism for Boyle, McGregor and Diaz.

Yeah. I should have been clearer. I don't think eroticism is beyond him because he doesn't feel it; I meant he can't intellectualize or deal with it. In fact, he probably sees it as 'dirty' partly because he sees it as a threat to intellectualization.

I read the scene similarly, although I suspect it's less to do with masturbation as such (which Masters seems to be OK with) as getting off watching it or while being watched doing it. Remember Masters is studying the physiological responses: the actual erotic component is beyond him and something to be eliminated by,…

I agree. The Broen plot had issues, but I had far less with them than I did with this adaptation. I thought it was because I'd seen it play out before, but actually that ought to have been interesting even just to see the differences. If the writers were treating it in lackluster way, though, that might explain why it…

Uh. This doesn't look good after the evil Gypsy witch from last week.

So what's the plan for reviewing season 4? I've been watching along and DON'T WANT TO WAIT, DAMMIT!!!

I loved it too, but I can already predict the disappointment of American critics that the show (SPOILERS) doesn't answer the questions it raises.

Not only that, but the evil one was a… Gypsy!

I loved that movie. I think I saw it on a plane and had little or no idea what it was going to be about. It turned out to be a wonderful surprise.

Yeah. It's a disgrace.

It is, but be forewarned: they're doing a second season, so don't expect much in the way of answers by the end of this one.

And it's one of Hulk's favorite movies: http://badassdigest.com/201…

Yeah. I didn't even think the father was depicted very poorly. It seemed pretty clear to me that he loved his wife and daughter but caved to pressure from his mother to marry again so he could have a son. Maybe I was reading too much between the lines, but it seemed to be a nice nod to how men get caught up in…
