What in the everloving shit are you going on about, Perkins? It's nice to know there's going to be a home for the Ghostbuster cardboard cutout of Jones when it gets to your store, but come the fuck on, buddy. I'd say that your hot keyboard takes would be better served at Gawker, but they're already quietly laying…

That's because he doesn't suck.

I really wanted to like Black Sails more, and I just couldn't get into it. It was trying to be GoT on the Spanish Main, and while PotC is its forebear, and the added bonus was that it's supposed to be a prequel to Treasure Island, it couldn't get going. The shame of it is, Toby Jones and Mark Ryan are really great,…

LOVED the movie- I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Not for nothing, but I hear that Marx's grave is a popular place to have sex on; take that for what you will (at one point supposedly there was a constable on duty for awhile, until Thatcherites got angry about public funds being spent on guarding the grave of a guy who would've hated their guts, so they put the…

Not only was it a waste, it was terribly directed. Jost waving to the wrong camera for a cutaway, the camera going wobbly when focusing on Moynihan's George RR Martin in the monologue, the W/U lighting was bad (it was like early W/U, with shadows on the backdrop, except, you know, not good), and finally Perkins-…

Yes, but the whole high-powered PI firm is straight out of the Shondaland playbook. There are PI firms that are involved in this sort of thing, but to have the size and reach that the show purports, they have to be diversified with a lot of other clients and practices.

I can't put my finger on it, but Mireille Enos looks unrecognizable from her other roles- has she had some work done? As for the dress, she seems to be taking a note from Joan Watson's wardrobe (except Lucy Liu wears it better).

You know, I had almost the same reaction that @tja68:disqus had when you said that, but you're right- it's a great song that got wasted on a meaningless montage.

"Not like this, dear Lord, not like this"

Sadly, Pitchfork was so hip because writing about movies like everybody else was "too commercial".

"The whole world is bullshit, man"- if AJ Soprano grew up to try to be a comedian, he would turn out to be this guy.

That's one of the defining traits of the Punisher in the comics, and I was really glad to see that it translated to the show. There's a weariness to Frank with regards to how he sees the world; and it shapes his lens with regards to how he views self-delusion, whether it's regarding his frienemies (DD and Spiderman),…

Justified Season 4 gets back some of that S2 luster, thanks in large part to Jim Beaver absolutely owning it (along with Patton Oswald and Ron Eldard having a lot of fun with making the most of their roles); there's also a lot more Tim Gutterson in S4.

Speaking of journalismism, the Gawker trial has concluded in the most Gawker-way possible: tears, recrimination, loathing, and confirmation that AJ Daulerio is a hilarious shitbag who should've been a witness for the prosecution, given just how awful his testimony was for Denton et. al.

Yeah, there was a major blindspot in the doc about that; I don't know if there was an expressed aim of myth-making, or if Malik Bendjelloul was using the doc as a way to deal with his demons (a battle that he ended up losing, unfortunately).

LVT is boring as fucking shit. Just when I think he can't get any worse, he Shyamalans himself and shits the bed even worse than before.

Sadly, it doesn't surprise me. Damon and Clooney both seem like OK guys (at least their public personas), but they're sort of on a different level as A-listers. What really makes it sad is that it wasn't the first time Goodman and Clooney shared a movie set, and they had shared experiences of starring in Coen…

JUDKINS SHUT THE FUCK UP! YOU HAVE NO FRAME OF REFERENCE!

On a related note, I'm planning on seeing The End of the Tour - it's at the top of my queue, and it'll be intriguing to see how Segal inhabits the DFW role. As is usually the case, there's a reassessment on the reassessment of the assessment of DFW's life and works; because everything's a microaggression and every…
