I saw this at a film festival, and some of the scenes in it would have gotten Archer-style audible boners from the male half of the audience. Schwing!

There's a lot of them, but one that stands out for me is Mogwai Fear Satan, by Mogwai. It's 16 or so minutes of pure bliss, and I will never ever ever get tired of listening to it.

"There are many layers to you, Meat Loaf."

The library I work at doesn't even have overdue fines anymore. I think in the end they just decided it wasn't worth the effort and the arguments. We still put blocks on people's cards if they have stuff that's really, really overdue (and of course it's a different matter if items are lost or damaged), but generally we…

The bald fellow played the prison albino on Banshee, right? He definitely looks familiar.

To be fair, just about every character in Gran Torino is a one-dimensional caricature, not just the ones of colour.

The problem that I had with Gran Torino was that it was a terrible, terrible movie. It would have been lucky to make the Hallmark channel without Eastwood's involvement.

Wow, I can't believe I just read a review essay about Yahoo Serious. I didn't know that these movies even got released outside of Australia, but here we are. You learn something new every day!

I agree that this was probably the weakest season of Banshee, and that's a little disappointing. But in fairness to the show, pretty much anything would have been disappointing after the glorious brutality and inventiveness of Season 3. That's a stupidly high bar for any show to reach, so I can't be too bummed that…

So, predictions for the finale:

Favourite part of the episode: the Job desktop wallpaper.

I think I might have liked the movie more if it was called something else. Titling it World War Z gave me the mistaken impression that it had something to do with the book World War Z.

Hey, so just in case the people moaning about racial and gender stuff in the review can't read… there was zero mention of any of it in this review.

I thought In the Miso Soup was more horrific than Audition, but perhaps less justified in its horror. If that makes sense. It felt more like the cartoonish super-gore of something like American Psycho.

Farewell Roose. You will always be known to me as Roosey-B, forever the life (and death) of a party.

Yeah, he does.

You had me until the "well, if you don't like it, why don't *you* write a screenplay?!?" non-argument.

Fair enough. I don't really agree about it being "terrible", but what the hey.

Wow, some people here really have hang-ups about this reviewer, huh
