God, this is a great movie.  I don't know who conceived or staged the island scenes when the kid is training* the horse to be ridden, using the ocean, but that part's amazing.   Under-the-surface shots of the horse's legs, necessarily slowed, and the boy eventually able to approach and get on the horse's back, and the…

…and… unless I don't know what the word "risible" means, A.A. Dowd didn't like District 9 a lot.
(Though to be fair, looks like Dowd is only referring to D9's allegory there, which, yeah, kinda silly.)
I liked District 9, but remember being most impressed with the beautiful special effects on a non-mega-millions budget……

I haven't heard the soundtrack, and don't mind Mumford and Sons (though I liked what my daughter said about them:  "Oh, here comes the part in the song where they get all loud and banjoey and serious").
But — I mean, the Coens have at least one great soundtrack to their credit….

But - "Liz DeBarber" is less melodic than "Liz Chross".

Well.  LOWE'S is useless.  Bastards didn't know what sash cord was, and when I explained they told me maybe they could special order it if they could find a vendor..

Or, Polish Sniper, about a guy who walks around with a giant target painted on his chest —- with shoe polish.

I agree with you Owen Maestro.  But I'd add that he's trying to make it while using every wind machine, stirring music cue and bright light ON this crazy ball of dirt.

So we won't have a final, jarring scene at a train station where the American Sniper collapses and whines about how he could have killed so many many more if only he'd tried?

[Oh, man, I have to watch that P&R episode again, now that I've seen Breaking Bad.   Thanks for reminding me!!]

They did play with a final-scene Abed/Troy doppelgangers - they were security guards in one of the season 1 eps.

I don't know.  How 'bout a swimming trip to an island?

My kids are all grown now, but I read Watership Down to them when they were little - the youngest was 6 or 7 maybe?
A long, long slog, but they liked it.  And named one of their rabbits Hazel.

Gosh, you guys, I'm blushing…

Okay, so I've mentioned this before I'm sure.  I went to see this movie when it opened (I was 20); I had loved the book and braved a Saturday matinee crowd of moms and kids, wondering if they knew what  they were getting.
They didn't - at the first scuffle between rabbits (when there's a splash of blood and genuine…

Watership Down is a beautiful movie, though I suppose its inclusion takes Plague Dogs off the table.

I loved all those, the Big Three - Hill St, St. Elsewhere and L.A. Law, but.. just recently, a few years ago, I watched the first three eps of Hill St.  They were good, they were, but… it's difficult to love them as the innovative shows they were, since so many since have, um, appropriated their sensibilities.
It's…

This, I think, is why Alien worked so well.  Tom Skerrit is likeable, obviously the leader (he's the captain!) and … is one of the first to go.  It sets the viewer off-balance early on, breaks the narrative rules in much the way the death of Marion Crane set Psycho viewers off balance.

Aha!  THAT's ^ what I've been doing:  watching it as if it were one long film noir.  Same way I take Terriers (which I also never saw originally; binged it all at once which was great). 
Breaking Bad reminds me of nothing so much as an Elmore Leonard or Ross Thomas novel brought to life - the reversals, the sometimes…

I'd always heard that both Michael Warren and Charles Haid (Hill and Renko) were supposed to die at the end of Hill Street's pilot.  But you guys did the research, so I guess you're right.

Also the reason the pairing works is that they're genuinely good friends and they're both great at improv.  There's such a sense of fun/danger when they work together.
I'd take Tina Fey solo hosting, and I'd take Amy Poehler solo hosting too.  But Ellen is definitely a good choice.  Funny, and… you guys, really she's…
