Just…eat Oreos.

I think 30 Rock did that too, but it's been gone for a while now.

That's perfectly fair; I mean, I like plenty of things that are derivative or formulaic, and not everything that's original is good. But when something is original AND good, it's sublime. And I just didn't get "pure pleasure" out of Boogie Nights. Mostly just boredom. But that's just me. Clearly plenty of people think…

Priceless face work by Coleman. It's worth watching the whole series, even season 2, just for those few seconds.

Yeah, it's fine, but it's not a great movie. I hate the voiceover narration in it. Hate.

I think Boogie Nights is vastly overrated, though I like other PTA films. Then again, I think Goodfellas is overrated as well. Why do people like Boogie Nights so much? It must be the nudity and sex because there's nothing original in it.

I don't comment too often, but I have my old grandfathered AV Club account, no Disqus. I've been reading this site and the comments for almost twelve years. Commenting (under various handles) for probably ten…I'll really, really miss this if it goes down. Thanks for all the laughs, kiddos.

He was great on Lady Dynamite!

Truly we are all in a glass case of emotion.

You can't deny that Lynch's work is often deliberately alienating (which I love).

Even though I always thought the original scene was embarrassing and uncomfortable to watch (perhaps intentionally, perhaps not), what was always clear was the irony in it. James sings the song with Maddie and Donna when they're in a mini love triangle of sorts, and all three are still obsessed with Laura. There's no…

I was going to say the same thing, but after thinking about it I like the choice. Moreau was always this sexy hybrid of feminine and androgynous, with an air of I-don't-give-a-fuck to boot. There are plenty of sexpot images of her out there, and actually this one has the best of both worlds. (Better this than the AV…

Jules et Jim is one of my favorite films ever. Moreau was magnetic.

Guess the Black Lodge must have a pretty well-appointed fitness center.

But it says "Civil War widow"; doesn't that imply that the husband died during the war?

It would be heartening for me to be reminded that I don't have to wear one of those hoop skirts.

I don't think it was intended as "she doesn't look anorexic enough." He was simply making the point that it's difficult to show what a real anorexic body looks like, since the vast majority of actresses in films are already expected to have very slim body types, and of course no one would want them to lose an…

This is one of my favorite O'Neal pieces ever. I even went and linked to it in the comments of the NYT. I hope Brooks reads it.

I don't think I fully understood Bobby as a character until watching Fire Walk with Me and The Return. He is angry, yes, but I think that is mostly compensating or covering for his deep sensitivity (most obviously illustrated by his frequent crying) and in response to the life he'd been leading as a teenager: he was…

I just want to say that it hasn't been confirmed that Horowitz was fired over sexual harassment allegations. The headline and article present it as a certainty. I understand that the timing of the firing, coinciding with the investigation, makes it reasonable to infer that to be the cause of his firing, but to report…
