Well, yes and no. I'd say Russo goes through a very definitive arc, which sets up what will happen in the next season. Underwood obtains his goal of becoming VP so….yeah there's a definite arc and it didn't strike me as pre-determined that Underwood would be successful. Him failing to pass the bill shows…

@avclub-8210173b51782dc7755ef71fc36d4197:disqus , phrasing boom?

@avclub-d06689b9dd27dd877ffc0d663b445f85:disqus , you blew my mind. I never made that connection. He's actually a really good actor.

With the clear exception being Maximum Overdrive.

@avclub-6adbe8b2ab3a52e619c526eff905468a:disqus ,

@avclub-6adbe8b2ab3a52e619c526eff905468a:disqus , After reading your edit I see where you're coming from, and, after re-reading my comment I realized I was being dickish. Sorry about that. I think me and you are basically on the same page in regard to this documentary, although, I might have found some of the analysis…

That's odd. The blood usually gets off on the second floor.

I concur, much of the theories are outright balderdash and, as I stated other places, I found them quite laughable. However, I think people who are dimissing this documentary because of the kooks it documents are throwing the baby out with the bath water. And many here who are throwing slings at the documentary are…

I get the the rest of it. I specifically taking issue with "UNseeing the film ironically". That's gibberish. I get your argument about the film being a sensorial experience rather than a puzzle where you can use "clues" to decipher the hidden meaning. I'm criticizing your usage. Explain to me what "UNseeing the film…

And if it's not too much to ask Clark, I want to get something for you. Something real nice.

@avclub-9ff7c9eb9d37f434db778f59178012da:disqus , I had the same reaction.

The Japanese?! Those sandal wearing goldfish tenders? Bosh Flim Shaw!

Hell this documentary could be a stand in for the entire AV Club. Everyone here has their personal obsession with an artifact of Pop art (cough*The Simpsons*Cough). How are the people in Room 237 (aside from how ludicrous their theories are) much different than say Todd who writes 3000 word essays on what we're…

@avclub-39df51c015ce671b473b8cf5a306d217:disqus  p.s. I buy the Native American stuff. Not that the whole movie is a metaphor for it (he'd have just done a movie about that then) but that it's a subtext. It could also simply be the supernatural explanation for why the Hotel is haunted in the first place. Now that I've…

The mapping out the hotel was the best part. All the continuity errors also blew my mind. If nothing else it made me watch The Shining yet again with a new appreciate for how much thought Kubrick put into. Still below, Orange, Full Metal, 2001, Barry Lyndon, Paths of Glory, and Stranglove about on par The Killing and…

It's a hoot. Highly recommended. Post-modernism run amok.

UNseeing the film ironically? What in God's name are you blathering about?

The minotaur thing did make me laugh out loud. I do buy the native american subtext though. The moon landing thing was some genius unintentional comedy.

Don't you hate pants?

@avclub-dece77bde43dd8d0c0b5ba5af046c6be:disqus , I found a way through your hedgemaze.
