Helen Hunt in As Good as it Gets against Kate Winslet in Titanic, I think.
Helen Hunt in As Good as it Gets against Kate Winslet in Titanic, I think.
The original film is exactly what I was talking about regarding genre shifts the other day. The two halves are distinctly different films, effectively, but the executions of both are pretty good.
Dikachu? (I love you, Dik, all due respect.)
Yeah, at that point, I'm just in MST territory.
*Ponders* . . .Really?
I meant Roasting and Mr. Plow.
Yeah, even in my world where the eighth season is the final season, there has to be some jumping through hoops. Everything happened before '95, because of Lisa's Wedding, the episode where they finally graduate from second and fourth grades in season 8 has to be at the end, but so is the summer episode somehow, and…
At the time, I had no idea it was a movie reference, and I still don't especially care. I appreciated it as an addition to Archer's already relentlessly tragic backstory.
Wizards Only, Fools. What I thought was the finale until the news came of 5.2.
Yeah, it's crazy. The double-sized season is a la Sopranos/Breaking Bad, basically, giving them more time to plan out season 6, which was promised back at the end of four/early season 5 to be on season 4's level of constant drama and crazy ambition while 5 was a breather for a while.
Even removed from the Archer's dad stuff, it was an emotionally effective episode, considering the reveal that Archer was supposed to launch into an athletic career from college as a lacrosse player, until that potential career was killed because he was shot in the stomach and spine at the peak of his athleticism.…
Which is why they should've known to start the show from the beginning by buying the old DVDs, like I did when I was younger.
Also, Holidays of Future Passed and The Book Job. Two great episodes in one season, that aired close to each other, when a Futurama writer was briefly at The Simpsons again. The first of the two was meant as a potential series finale during the pay cut debacle.
He did have the single unambiguously heroic moment in the show I can think of, the child in episode 4.
I agree with all of that, to be clear. I loved the thematic manifestation of it, especially how Rust effectively went mad from the revelation like so many cosmic horror protagonists.
Regarding Torchwood, I'll grant that I trust my 13/14 year old self's tastes about as far as I can throw someone, but I funnily remember the fairies episode being one of my favorite parts of the first season. I thought Countrycide was cool at the time because I'd never heard of Home, Deliverance or any other hillbilly…
He better host twice in the next two years, for each of the halves of Mad Men's final season. And then join the cast officially like we all know he wants to.
Entire finale episodes of tv series: The Wire, Enlightened, The Prisoner,
Films: There Will Be Blood, Oldboy (2003 film)
Games: Bioshock Infinite (barring any DLC),
among others, to more effectively represent the gamut of fictional media.
This is one network show I love that, while I'm totally happy with it in its current form, could legitimately benefit from having come from something like HBO instead. The budget for concept episodes could easily be better, the episodes being longer would help something like Course Listing Unavailable (which I'm a…
I give this five meowmeowbeanz, or an A.
