wait for her to slide her hair behind her big ears.  Then wait for the next  shot where the hair is over her ears…. repeat EVERY EPISODE and you will go insane.

I remember in 1990 when NPR blasted The Hunt For Red October for having no women in it.  I hadn't even noticed.

Didn't enjoy it… and I was really wanting a good scary movie this weekend.  First, lifting so much from The Shining and Rosemary's Baby.  It was stealing but done poorly.  The soundtrack stings and strange images that worked in The Shining come out of no where in this.  The neighbor witches are basically the same as…

wow.  She's so amazing.  Love it.

I like Quinn's smug girlfriend taking the credit… when Quinn's been thinking about Deb the entire study time.

that's called the"Bus" effect based first used in the original Cat People.  A tense scene and suddenly a bug bus drives by loudly and everyone messes their pants.

aside from the Mexican drug lord part this is an exact carbon copy of the original… right down to the crime and side characters.  I imagine the show will play out like the original which is actually a good thing.  It goes some places you won't expect.

Wallander is outstanding.  I watched season 2 on Netflix and (I thought it was the first season) it never lets up.  A great season of TV.  Then I watched the first (not on Netflix, so Amazon) and liked it even more.  Give it a shot of you're into Nordic noir (like The Killing, which ISN'T available in the US?? or is…

so, why isn't the song on the Rdio playlist?

I have a few problems with the "look" of the show.  First, I was a teen during this time (81) but it's clear that the makers of the show weren't around then:

Hotel Noir.  Cloud Atlas.  The Hobbit.

the wife and I scored low on the Simpson's hipster scale.  We like West Ham, she rode a vespa, I drink Pabst sometimes, listen to The Decemberists.
