She's not a bad actress but I do find that the more talky her roles get the more grating I find her onscreen.  I thought the trailer for this movie was a really great one, along with just about everyone else, but a good half of it is scored by Bullock's non-stop chatter.  And I get that, situationally, it is perfectly…

Oh wow!  Thanks.  I was thinking, what could it mean thematically but … hey, that's as good a reason as any.

I don't know if this was addressed anywhere else in the comments (or if this will even get read way back here) but … in the scene when Walt made the phone call from the pay phone pretending to be the reporter, he walked away at the end of the call but not without taking off his watch and leaving it.  My recollection…

Wait.  Zodiac Motherfucker is Jhumpa Lahiri???

I'd like to think I wasn't as painfully disrespectful to my parents as Gogol often was in The Namesake but otherwise his story really resonated with me.  As a Bengali kid who grew up in the U.S. with two names, it often did feel like I had two identities.  When I was really young and we moved around alot, I was always…

You're entitled to not like the film, if that's your position.  But the film really does have an inarguable place in the pantheon of great horror movies and movies that have made an incredible impression on many people.  Isn't it kind of a moot point whether he has or hasn't seen a horror movie prior to filming this? …

I mean, she's not a genre writer, right?  She's not David Benioff or Michael Chabon.  This is the kind of thing that she writes about.  Not sure if you are familiar with her previous stuff or not but I feel like, if you were, it would be surprising if she DID write something like City of Thieves or Kavalier and Clay…

That's really unfortunate :(

I'm a fan.  I don't know - she is definitely writing from the perspective of my generation (I'm the son of Bengali immigrants) - so I probably am not the most objective person when it comes to her writing.  But the tiny details and observations that get worked into her narrative and character-building sometimes feel…

My brother drove me by the AHS house when I was visiting him in LA this past summer and in the 3-4 minutes we were there, we saw a few other cars pull up, with a few passengers getting out and taking quick pictures on their smart phones.

Wow.

Ha!  Thought something similar myself.

@Oliver: A BIG "thank you" for doing such a nice job with this column.  I used to collect comic books as a kid in the early 90s.  I remember when Image first became a thing and I remember not liking most of the storytelling starting around that time.  I remember being disappointed at how gimmicky the whole industry…

Yeah, as a celebrity, the movie star in Nayak is certainly different most of Ray's other protagonists, who are definitely more sympathetic.

Hell, my 34yo-self remembers this movie fondly.  It's not amazing but it's alot of fun as a concept.  And Yul Brynner.

Really?

I really can't claim any credit for the degree of my exposure.  I was born in Calcutta.  My dad loves film.  And my mom went to the school/university Tagore founded where she studied and then later taught art.  Haha, so I really didn't have much of a choice in the matter.  But like I said, I'm very happy to see these…

I watched the video for "I Will Follow You Into The Dark" too soon after we put our dog down and …. it slayed me.

For me, it really really doesn't get better than The Man With No Name movies.  Everything else just feels like a pale imitation in comparison.  I felt very strongly that way without any sort of qualification until I finally watched Deadwood a few years ago, though arguably that is its own different sort of beast.
