Ohhh, so many comments already!  It's listed in the "10 more" section but, Kevin MacDonald's "Things to Do", Season 4 episode 7:

Maya Rudolph has been pregnant for at *least* a decade, it seems.

I was braced for disappointment and it exceeded my expectations, as well.  It was a lot better and far more ambitious than it needed to be.

I liked the new season overall but there was just no way it was going to meet the expectations of everyone.  Honestly, I'm amazed at the logistic/narrative feat of them scheduling the production of that entire cast.

A shoebox filled with incriminating photographs.

Great quote from Mitch Hurwitz from this TIME Magazine Q&A

I misinterpreted the title of this post and thought the episodes had just been released.  I got into the series a little late in its initial run.  But now I've watched all the episodes multiple times.  It's amazing how an episode I've seen so many times can still entertain me.

The production has been open about this "body doubles" thing for a while now.  Thing is, I thought the whole point of this Von Trier shockfest was to make a narrative featuring real Hollywood stars having unsimulated sex.  By publicly stating, in advance of the film's release, that body doubles are being used seems to

The famous shower scene in Psycho never shows you “Mother’s” knife meeting Marion’s flesh, instead leaving that much to the viewer’s imagination…
… Granted, it’s not very ambiguous as to what’s happening—Marion Crane is being murdered—but it leaves so much of what happened to our imaginations.

She's the classic "Pretty Ugly Girl".  Instead of glasses, she's got that air-tube in her nose.  And even that does laughably little to conceal that she's super-pretty.  Because even the unattractive people on tv have to be attractive!

I like this take. It's way too obvious for Norman to be the killer.  Yes, it connects to the original movie.  His teacher has a classic Janet Leigh type of beauty/aesthetic to her.  And we get the voyeur aspect, as well as him arguing with an imaginary version of his mom.  All the signs point to Norman being the

I came here looking for some clarification on that point, too.  Coffee grounds on his ass?  Is this a thing?

I think to accuse Super 8 of being "cynical" is to misread the movie.  JJ Abrams is being earnest in that movie; and though I feel that the movie fumbles its final act, I think that Abrams has a better understanding of the unique qualities of 80s Spielberg movies than Spielberg himself does.  (If Crystal Skull is any

It's Always Winter in Philadelphia…

Agreed.  They've given themselves an entire season to set this up properly and this seems like… a disastrous ending that could easily be avoided entirely.

Season 9 runs from 2013-2014.  If they're married by May 2014, they've still got time to conceive the kid and have it be born in 2015.

Have they already set up that he meets her at that train station and they end up having a really long conversation that starts it all…?  The show has been pretty good at running gags and tying up loose ends, I think, and I want to see how they connect everything.  Of course, people have been keeping track of all the

I like her, on a superficial casting level.  She cute in a slightly quirky way.  Not some absurd model-type.  Someone… pretty.  Someone Ted can project all his pent-up fucking needs onto.

I love the Llama, Lincoln, Showgirls backstage trinity.

I feel like she's been pregnant for a decade!  Every time I see her, she seems to be pregnant.
