I think the best example of anyone doing something like that was Toni Colette in "Velvet Goldmine", playing a character very much based on Angie Bowie: an Australian, playing an American who speaks with a fake British accent. Which kind of ends up sounding Australian, come to think of it.

Yeah, the original "Hot Girls Wanted" documentary made me decide I'd never watch porn again. I held to that promise for nearly 2 hours, which is a personal record for me.

Yeah, I saw "Created by Baz Luhrmann" and thought, "Well, there's one I can skip."

Yesterday, we had the director of the FBI responding, in real time, to a Tweet sent by the President of the United States in the middle of a Congressional hearing. There's no way this wrestling angle can be any weirder than that.

The $10 billion estimate of his wealth he uses is almost entirely based on his own valuation of the worth of his "brand", which isn't even close to what anyone else thinks the Trump "brand" is worth.

The light streaming through the bullet holes in the final confrontation between Abby and Visser is quite possibly my single favorite visual thing in any Coen Bros movie (and I was pleased to see it referenced in the first season of the Fargo TV show.)

I hope they do a song about California this time

Louis CK is up front about the influence Woody Allen has had on him, and Horace & Pete to me seems like his "Interiors": trying a bit too hard to show that he can do drama too. Interesting, but flawed.

Trump's response is exactly what I thought it was going to be. Plus, it's a lie: Meyers is by far the highest rated of the 12:30 shows, and even beats Colbert's show most nights. So, yeah, it's that combination of bravado and pathological lying we have all come to expect from Trump.

What about his role in 12 Years a Slave To Jerking Off?

Oh come on!

Someone around here speculated that the reoccurring Chinese hacker plot might lead to Catherine's video getting out. That would require her to download the video to a computer on the White House network, of course, but i can see her doing that.

A lot of people wonder if Philip will defect, or Elizabeth, but I'm really wondering about William now. He's really disaffected with his job (though who wouldn't be if your job consisted of trying to steal a virus that liquifies your internal organs for your government, which you don't trust), and on top of that,…

One thing I'm wondering about now is how far Stan can go with this "I'm the badass FBI agent who can bust the KGB, stay out of my way" routine he's got going on now. I mean, he basically told the deputy AG to kiss his ass this week when he refused to go to Oleg. You can get away with that for a while, but as soon as…

This is my all time favorite Match Game question, and I have no idea how this got past the censors: "Marshall Dillon said, 'You know why they call her Miss Kitty? It's not because that's her name. It's because she eats ______"

It reminds me a lot of what happened to that one illegal's wife: they told her (and Philip and Elizabeth) that they'd exfiltrate her to Cuba, but she ends up dead in the back of a car from a faked "heroin overdose" and their baby is shipped to his grandparents in Russia.

You know, I would have liked this movie so much better if it just sort of stayed in the examination of the whole culture of repo men, these people who are basically thieves for a living, and hadn't gotten into that whole dumb "alien car" thing. Hell, if the movie had just been riding along with Harry Dean Stanton and…

Well, remember what happened to that one agent's wife: the Centre promised to extract her, she ends up dead in the back of a car from a fake "heroin overdose" and their baby is handed to its grandparents in Russia. Martha doesn't have anything of any use to them if she's not the secretary of the Counterintelligence…

It does strike me that the reasons that Claudia gave them for recruiting Paige are as true for Henry: it's all about him having a background that would stand up to a FBI/CIA security check. And from what we've seen of the workings of the FBI on this show, Henry couldn't do much worse a job than some of those dudes.

You have to really work at making a show set in the recording industry of the 70s this boring. It's kind of amazing.
