So when Oz is referred to as HBO's first scripted drama, are they just willfully forgetting "Philip Marlowe, Private Eye?" I think that show's gotta be the networks most underrated, especially when you consider that most people today probably don't even know it existed. I still find it weird that HBO had a show in the…

Eh, everything about that scene except for the foot in mouth moment makes for a pretty good trade-off.

Maybe Kyle Killen and Christian Slater's curses will cancel each other out and Mind Games will be a hit.

Yeah, sure you don't understand.

The sketch doesn't work if they don't have Forte silently eating spaghetti, so they'll have to bring him back too.

I saw this movie in theaters way back when. I haven't watched it since, but I recall liking it overall. I do recall thinking there were definitely a couple too many extended scenes of Farrell and Li grinding each other at night clubs, though.

NBC can always make changes after everyone else shows their cards. Back when they were launching Studio 60, they initially announced that it would be on Thursdays at nine. But then ABC announced a couple days later that they were moving Grey's Anatomy to that timeslot, which already included CSI. NBC then moved S60,…

It's going to be a really hard decision as to whether or not to see this in 2D or 3D. I despise 3D (real and fake), but this is clearly one those where a lot of time and care went into it.

Bring back Dennis Haysbert too because fuck it.

I hear he works on contingency.

The scene where he immediately dumps Kelly upon getting the promotion ranks among my favorite scenes on the show.

Okay, I need some opinions. If I stopped watching early in season 5 (thought they were making Michael too cudly), is there anything to be gained from watching these final couple of episodes? I've still been keepting tabs on the show through writeups, so I won't be lost plotwise.

Kubrick assembled a final cut that he showed to Warner Brothers a few days before dying. He surely would've continued tinkering had he lived longer, cause that's what he does, but the released film was entirely assembled by Kubrick, except for the trims to the orgy scene WB made to get an R.

Speaking of Kubrick continuity errors, the pool balls in the final scene between Cruise and Pollack in Eyes Wide Shut drive me nuts. Every time they cut back to Cruise, they're in the same general table location but have moved or rotated slightly. I usually wouldn't notice it, but the pool table is foregrounded and so…

I have found that the Marvel movies are best enjoyed via $3 iTunes rental.

You know, I think every mega-successful director should have to do this. They should be required to adopt at least one legendary, aging actor and just put them in all their movies to ensure they keep getting good paychecks doing quality work until they die.

@avclub-f7f8eb12e0f61a9321597157c0d61791:disqus Wait a minute. There are people who don't like The Man Who Would Be King? And not just your standard issue contrarions, but like an actual large contingent of people? I've always been under the impression that it was an undisputed classic.

Dead, I imagine.

I suspect most of us wouldn't recognize her on sight without blonde hair.

While the twist-free approach seems like a good idea in theory, it inevitably makes the heroes seem incompetent since they're incapable of reaching a conclusion until the end that we reached hours ago.
