Another good review Alasdair. While the stinger at the end was exciting, I wasn't onboard for most of this episode; it was a lot of information transfer between characters, the action this week was rough (when Oliver hops down from the roof to an unintroduced garden, I thought it was cutting to a flashback), the…

Midnight Kessel Run. You're welcome, Kasdan.

I'm not a Sex & The City fan, but I'm rooting for this show all the same. TCD is picking up some optimistic word of mouth from the critical community, even though a network prequel to a hugely impactful HBO show sounds like complete sacrilege. Imagine, ten years from now: Game of Thrones: The Winterfell Wing. Ned…

Can a serial killer (10th level psycho, goat blood drinking serial killer, so not Dexter) actually make for an interesting character long term? Has any show or serial managed to string out a macabre evil in a way that allows for development or insight beyond "holy shit, isn't this guy nuts?"

Psycho Killer? 
Qu'est Que C'est?

Archer occupies this really interesting space between the status quo dependence of almost all other cartoon sitcoms, and the progression of even mildly story-based comedies. If 30 Rock and Happy Endings are live action cartoons, then Archer really is as close to a cartoon live action show as has ever existed. 30 Rock…

From what I heard on the Firewall & Iceberg podcast, the final line is outstandingly awful.

The screencap is telling me it's the story of twin brothers, one a surgeon, one a motorcycle guy, who struggle to live separate lives while being attached at the hand. I'm betting it's called The High-Five Life

Even sadder is the "what's the capital of Texas" question from Red Dawn, which at least in the original acknowledged that most people don't really know their state capitals.

God willing, Justified's use of a cold case from the 80's this season is meant as a hook to weave The American's into the greater Justified-Archer-Bob's Burgers universe of Fox shows connected by actors and references.

I consider myself a trend killer. I evoked a Gentleman's F comment for the first time in the Movie 43 review, and now there's a whole FOC about how it might need to be retired.

I'm disappointed The Shield isn't on the list, in that I've only recently started watching it and the theme music is like having a 90's aggro scream-core band intercut with audio from a mexican marketplace. It's a good pump-up for the episode, but i'm glad it lasts all of six seconds.

Figures the first episode of this show I watch is one that pays off building character arcs and presents a paradigm shift going forward.

Why does no channel have the balls to go the opposite route, make something dark and gritty light and fluffy?

-Dredd 3D: grizzly, grimacing fun. Ridiculous but restrained in the right places. Karl Urban's mouth expressions are fantastic

A gentleman's F, for a movie titled more or less as a gentleman's Movie 69

Suggested Titles: 
CTHD: II
Dragon 2: Hide Harder 
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Electric Boogaloo

Horror story? I don't even know 'er story!

Now it's going to be some poor bastards job to scroll through endless pages of Deviantart drawings for new movie ideas. Maybe "Actors as My Little Pony/Tentacle Rape" will be the new 3D.

Tonight, following The Voice, and The Taste, three ALL NEW NBC shows.
