I don't know how you define competent drama, Drolz, but I'd consider watching In Treatment if you're looking for it.

The first person in Lady in the Lake is embodied; the first person of Enter the Void is dis-embodied. It makes a BIG difference, that and 60 years of film making technological advances.

I saw the 2 hour and 40-minute version of this film a couple of months ago and was absolutely mesmerized. Believe me when I say that you will be pissed off that you didn't watch this on the big screen when you had the chance. One of the analogies one could draw between Enter the Void and 2001's "stargate" sequence is…

Well, there are six episodes left, right? Halfway through Season 3, who could've predicted what happened in the finale? Damn, this season in itself hasn't been predictable from one episode to the next, all things considered. I think the writers have earned our trust at this point that we're not going to be left…

Excellent, Lola. I'm convinced!

I could've sworn that was her. During the dinner date she also said something about usually having plans on a Saturday night. Oh, well. I guess I'll have to watch the episode again!

I don't think she was not into him; she was just wary of his previous advances, as they seemed to stem from alcohol, his even more inflated ego after winning the Clio, and from the fact that he's Don Draper and expects women to fall for him. The Don that took her out to dinner, by contrast, was more humble and…

I hope so, too! Thankfully I won't be sharing the theater with rude assholes like you…

I was thinking the same thing, LeFebre. For one thing, like The Fly, it was an episode in which the main character was compromised to the point where they could reveal just about anything; as Walter was exhausted and Don was trashed, I wondered if Don would tell Peggy about his real identity (thus now making Peggy the…

Dude, did you spooge on the ribs??
"how Bourdain passed on his chance to tee off on the "I felt like I made love to [the shortribs]" line, I can't comprehend"

CLOSING DOORS
This is the third episode in a row that ended with a closing door. I'm too tired to contemplate its significance, or remember if all of the episodes this season have ended this way, so I thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone else has noticed and thought abut why…

I think Todd's points are certainly legitimate and well considered, but I'm beginning to wonder how useful it is to divide episodes, and perhaps seasons for that matter, into sections for individual evaluation —e.g., "while the first half was rocky, the writers in the second half found their footing…" I don't write…

What's REALLY amazing is that it's the same dude who played the Russian immigrant cabbie in Todd Solondz's Happiness. His rendition of "You Light Up My Life" when he serenades the chick from Hung (Jane Adams), while wearing his I [HEART] NJ t-shirt, is definitely one of the film's highlights. He also played Andy…

Thank you, Hercules. RF, why don't you write about something you know about so we all don't have to "ROTFL" at your cliche-riddled ignorance about American history and American presidents. That shit just won't cut it in this forum!
