I always took the bank inspector tearing up the warrant as him being moved by what he saw. It wasn't about the 8,000 dollars anymore and I think they kind of set this up before. When George first meets the bank inspector, he is cold, yes, but he also mentions wanting to get back to his family. So he might…

I Love This Movie
I watch parts of it every year and every year complain to my parents that I never get to finish watching it as I dutifully go with them to church on Christmas Eve. This year, though, my parents gave it to me for Christmas.

Unfortunately this is a Davies finale so its bound to be a disappointment.

Yea, I'm guessing there's a giant reset button coming. Might have something to do with the Earth-2 where Rose is living. Then again she's supposedly not appearing in the finale.

Heard "Here Comes Fatty Claus" on Comedy Death-Ray and as I was doing some last minute Christmas shopping yesterday, I was singing the Chorus in my head.

Original Ending?
If the teatrical ending was tacked on, what was the original ending? Was Thorton going to die in front of the kids?

I think I need to see Watchmen a second time before I decide whether it was good or not (I'm leaning towards no) but I wouldn't call it "Underrated". This spring, it was all anybody could talk about so I would say it was adequately rated.

I don't really know what the hate's about.
So it bothers you that the film studio that ponied up one of the largest budgets ever for a film feels like they need to remind people that the last movie the director made (almost a dozen years ago) was extremely successful? And then that the director feels like he's got to…

At least Louis C.K. is going on to his own show
Have you guys seen this trailer (sort of) for Louis C.K's own show? http://www.youtube.com/watc…

My Own Personal Orphan
I know Stranger Than Fiction isn't going to be on any best of the decade lists but its definitely on mine. I'm not entirely sure why. Any attempts to explain it would use meaningless words like "funny", "heartwarming", and "thought-provoking" but its one that I keep going back to.

Also, I don't know how to use Google.
So is the joke here the idea that only men would wonder these things or the idea that any man would? Cause as soon as I read those questions, I started wondering the answers. Congratulations, Amelie, you've just raised the rating for this show by .00001 point.

Watch Californication this season for a real shock.

Opinion or Ploy For Page Views?
I just noticed that this article now has more comments than the "WHERE IS FIREFLY?" debacle of '09.

"It isn't as good as you remember. And if it is as good as you remember, that's because you're viewing it with nostalgic blinders on. And while there's nothing wrong with enjoying a movie for nostalgic reasons, keep that in mind next time you berate someone for not seeing that one movie you loved when you were 7 years…

I don't know, Claude, to say that you don't like a movie is one thing but to say that the love of that movie is probably based on hype, sounds like she's calling anyone who really loves that movie deluded.

Monkey, The cartoon is how that happened. I was born in '82 but The Real Ghostbusters cartoon was big when I was in Kindergarten.

But you decided to ignore the best part of the movie in your review anyway…
I have to call bullshit on your assertion that nostalgia is the reason for the love of this movie. If you ask anyone they'll tell you that the lines are the best part but as kids growing up in the eighties, I don't really think we got most of…

I wonder if 'Supernatural' fans call themselves Super-Tards.
Next week looks better. I feel this week was more of a dragging its heels episode before we get back to the Apocalypse.

Natalie Portman Hates Me
I think it was the New Yorker review that made the point that if Foer objects to eating meat for moral reasons but is unwilling to go full vegan then he is being a hypocrite. Conditions for dairy cows and egg laying chickens are just as bad if not worse than for cows and chickens destined for…

How am I the first to make a WHERE"S WALLACE AT? joke? It fits in so well with this week and a running meme about this show.
