Thank you, Sean, for reminding us all of the preposteriously stupid points the articles by your colleagues tried to make back in '11. (I'm referring to the last link in this newswire, and from that story there is a link to the article which inspired it).

You could have included "The Darjeeling Limited" under your subject heading of 'a family in upheaval.'

I listened to and read a few interviews with the W's when this movie came out, and they certaily have a very high opinion of themselves. They seem like pretty arrigant jerks, in a way.

Great list this week. I was just saying to Lady BooUrns last night I though this movie would fit in nicely with the theme. Such a hot mess from the jump. Gilliam was way over his head with this one. I heard rumors here and there he was trying to start production up again, but I'll believe it when I see it.

It depends on how it was set up, straight a-la-carte, or first tier means pick 20 stations, higher tier packages get more, etc.

Isn't that the description if just about all of his roles?

He's one if the best interviewers I've ever heard.

For me, it was mainly pre-podcat era, back in the caveman days of radio. The Chicago station they are produced had a Sat lineup of Car Talk, Wait Wait, Sound Opinions and This American Life. Good stuff when trapped in the car working on a Sat. Even then I turned Opinions off half the time in favor of Talkin Baseball…

20 years too late? But Chief Keef is in the now!

Man am I glad I turned off Sound Opinions when I did. I misread the title at first, thought the interview was Bowie himself and not the producer. I assumed it would just be softballs and fluff, as most of their interviews are (the Matt Stone and Trey Parker was especially pointless. I may have stroked out in the car…

I think I would do it for $10. I don't watch broadcast tv at all, I have a Roku. Since hbo-go is a channel on eoku, I was hopeful of paying just for hbo-go to be able to watch. Nope! The current model just doesn't make sense anymore, and that applies to pretty much all cable. Give us channel-by-channel a-la-carte…

This movie is a masterpiece. That is all.

I believe he is a genuinely gifted actor, who also just happens to be batshit nuts, and insecure to the point it's debilitating. If he only took 'regular' roles his whole life, and wasn't in a religious cult, I believe he would be held up as one of the best actors of the generation. But his insecurity keeps him in…

The original TV series is pretty fun. I would watch it all the time if it magically appeared on netflix instant, or something similar. I was just thinking it's almost a serial TV version of Bond, and when looking it up I found out Ian Fleming co-created the TV show, so there you go.

Really fun movie. The things the art faker is able to do is crazy. His story would make an interesting companion with the doc "Who the Fuck is Jackson Pollock?"

"[Girls] abruptly became the one show viewers had to watch if they wanted to keep up with the cultural conversation."

Agreed. He pretty much announced right off the top that hus entire premise was totally full of shit, and a matter of subjective personal opinion.

Then congratulations! You're not retarded!

"Who is this movie for?" - Idiots. Which is to say, a vast majority of the movie-going public.

Agreed. In fact, we just watched it the other night. It's camp brilliance.
