Yeah, it shows you the chasm between creative and accounts thinking, as the show's hinted at in seasons past.  Pete was pushing for the low hanging fruit with a plan that would obliterate the brand and the big picture.

Late to the party, like many others here.  Just watched Deadwood for the first time on HBO GO.

I immediately thought of that Transporter scene as well and copied this link to my college roommate.

I recently ran through the entire run a few months back and, yes, those early seasons played differently for me as well.  I already knew that I loved the show tons before I started my rewatch but actually rewatching it pretty much cemented MM as my favorite show of all time.  I can't think of any other TV that has the…

Great writeup.  The intro really gets to the core of why the show is such a rich viewing experience while still being a difficult one to recommend to people at times.  I've had more than a few acquaintances stall out in the second season :(

"I'm a hell of a director then."  - Claude Rains.

I bring this up only because I recently rewatched it but I think Brokeback Mountain is another one of those movies that really just benefits from its spare style and unobtrusive direction / camera work.  There's only two shots in the entire film that really look like they are trying to be painterly: (i) after Heath…

Fiennes is great even when he's not showing that kind of restraint.  He's easily the best thing about Red Dragon.

I am really indifferent about Argo and I can't even explain why.  I don't dislike it but I'm genuinely baffled at anyone having strong feelings about the movie one way or another based on my experience watching it.  I probably wasn't in the best frame of mind when I saw it and probably need to go watch it again at…

Sometimes it's okay for the director to do his job and not be all like HEEEYY LOOK AT ME I'M DIRECTING!!!!!

Based on the show to date, it's pretty much a rule: if you are a witch, your dialog will be awful.  And you're right, tonight was pretty awful in that regard, I'm with you 100%.

"You've Done It Again, Virginia" is so great.  And I love the Black Cab session for it: http://www.youtube.com/watc…

The alt mix is similar to how they played it on Jimmy Fallon before the album came out?  I remember that performance had a little more mustard on it.

I was curious if anyone else likes "Guest Room" off of Boxer?

It scares me.

Print is dead.

Is that where he has a part about Mr. T and how a gay Mr. T would probably say "Hey boy, you look mighty cute in them jeans?"  Can't tell you how many times back in college either I or one of my friends said that to someone we knew.

Ah geez, I still think Delirious is like the funniest thing I've ever seen.

@avclub-cfe912f5cb3aa572bd1c9ae2a9b82207:disqus I'll stop gushing about this movie after this, I promise.  But I just wanted to add that the music that's played over the opening credits is tremendous.  If I wanted to kick some ass and take some names, that's what I'd want playing in the background.
