Saoirse Ronan ain't a newbie. She was nominated before for Atonement

I followed Alan Rickman around a shop one time. I'm not proud of myself but he was very attractive in real life and I was 18 and deeply starstruck.

Nope

That was really disappointing, because I love him but he really didn't get the joke at all

Ah AV Club, Sharon Horgan is Irish! She lives in England to be fair, but even her character in the show is clearly Irish.

I wonder if, at some point, Matthew Vaughn decided that the only way to differentiate himself from Guy Ritchie or similar is to be as crass as possible. I don't know if there's much else that would explain him.

I can't imagine that Elizabeth Reaser won't be in the show again surely? Unless she's a massive fan of the show.

Reece Witherspoon arguably should have won for Freeway. And Michael Fassbender should have won several times by now. Also lots of people should have won who have never been nominated at all, but presumably that's a whole other thing.

Podcasts being the way they are, I feel as though I've lost a friend. A really funny and interesting friend.

Hathaway didn't manage to make much of her character. She didn't have great dialogue to play with but a subtler actor might have overcome that.

That's the North you're thinking about. Chris is from Roscommon, one of the 26 counties in Ireland. The six counties in Northern Ireland are in the UK.

Regan in King Lear or Regan in the Exorcist, neither of which I mind as much as being called Ronald

Agreed x 100

Getting burned = turning evil is some lazy, irresponsible storytelling.

One of my happiest memories of school is of watching Life of Brian in Religion class. One of my weirdest is watching Dangerous Liaisons, also in Religion class.

Just watched the first two episodes and found this show a bit terrible, largely due to Emun Elliott, who's a nice looking fellow but whose performance as Mr Moray is sadly dreadful dreadful lemon dreadful. The script is also dodgerama.

I had the biggest crush on Tommy Lee Jones when I was 17.  Still kinda do - he's just so grizzled.  And yes, Sam Elliot would get it.

Nope.

He was pretty good in that Jane Campion film about Keats, Bright Star, as Keats' friend Charles Brown.
