Have you noticed the directors Smith works with? His biggest auteur streak was Robert Redford (Bagger Vance) and Michael Mann (Ali), which also happened to be his biggest bomb streak. Not that he chooses to work with awful directors or anything - just solid, capable directors that can still bend to his every whim…

I do think that the current trend towards marathoning TV will at least kill the traditional network TV drama, one that airs 22 episodes over an eight-month period. The ratings for pretty much every network drama that's not a procedural show that they're pretty much on a gradual decline season-to-season, a lot which I…

Nice to see Alibar getting work post-Beasts (Her original play, Juicy and Delicious, is rather out-there and almost makes Beasts itself feel uninspired), though I wish it was on a less redundant project with a less busy (If talented) collaborator.

In addition to proving all of those rumors wrong, I love the Snopes semi-editorial take on all the Mister Rogers myths out there: http://www.snopes.com/radio…

Dunham did an interview near the end of season 1 where she addressed the lack of blacks directly: http://www.huffingtonpost.c…

Yeah, she should really just take all this criticism because of that. Kind of like that big fallout on the internet when Jason Reitman had that annoying breakout hit Juno just fall into his lap becuase he was wealthy, straight and white.

Where the heck is Before Midnight? I've been eagerly anticipating it for
the last eight years since I first watched Before Sunrise and Before
Sunset. If I could I would fly out to Sundance JUST to see a screening of it next month.

The reveal seriously might be the worst scene of any movie I've seen this year. Not just the reveal itself, but how it's done. Like, Krasinski is leaving in shame, having fulfilled his duty, he runs into Damon, and decides to *continue his charade by talking back to Damon*? What's the point of that?! And then he lets…

I haven't even watched an episode of this show and I LOVED this review.

Same thing for me and my sisters. Though our all-time favorite gag probably remains "BARTDOYOUWANTTOSEEMYNEWCHAINSAWANDHOCKEYMASK?" Just perfect.

Miller's Crossing above Big Lebowski AND Fargo is just crazy to me. Miller's Crossing is one of the few Coen movies to just not click with me. I appreciate a lot of it, but it's all so..distant? Which is weird to me because I've seen that complaint thrown at the Coens many times before, but with Miller's that was the…

I can't wait to see Todd VanDerWerff's reaction to this episode, knowing his love for all things involving the melancholy depressingness of the holidays.
