Honest to blog, Diablo Cody has written one painfully unfunny episode of Children's Hospital.  Her writing always feels awkward and forced.  Someone who's trying to be funny, who is not.

Yep, the Scientologists are supposedly anti-LGBT (and anti-success, apparently).

Boards of Canada: *spoooky*!

I don't think the show should be faulted because people choose to turn strong pieces of dialogue into catchphrases and t-shirts lines.  But still, I know what you're getting at.  For me, the worst was when Walt says, "SAY MY NAME!"  That was stretching it.  Him demanding that the guy say his name out loud seemed like

Love this show to death.  If this had been posted NetFlix style, I'd've binged on the entire 8 episodes in one go — easily.  LOVE that garage scene closer.  Any other show would've made you wait for that moment.  THE KILLING would have made you wait two seasons for that moment.  But Breaking Bad just fucking goes for

When Hank's going through the box of evidence (mostly headshots and pictures, because it's more visual), anyone notice that Mike Ehrmantraut’s pics were blurred out?  Reason for that?  Some sort of SAG thing?  They couldn't get Jonathan Banks to sign off?

Hollywood trembles at the threat of a Sean Young boycott!

Harrison Ford must have some expensive prescription meds he needs to pay for.

So now that Deb and Dex have come full circle she's accepted him as a Good Guy Serial Killer, she's dead meat, right?  Deb dies at the end of this season?

Eddie Marsan's brilliant.  Wonder how an English actor stumbled into a role like that.  (I know Paula Malcomson's Northern Irish but she's also had a lot of high profile television roles.)  In any case, he's amazing and his character's oddly compelling.

The elaborate 45-second non-breakfast bothered me, too.  I understand that eating in scenes is always a pain in the ass production-wise— because nobody wants to eat 12 plates of eggs for every angle they need— but give us the *illusion* of a meal.  Those kids didn't even POKE at those eggs before Abby dumps the

I've heard rumors it'll be off-beat.  The larger question is whether or not it'll be reverent.

I thought the first movie was surprisingly enjoyable, and I do remember it.

Ditto.  I don't know why that made sense to me.  But a click-through is always a small price for clarity.

"Ozymandias" — sixth episode, directed by Rian Johnson, dropping September 15, 2013.

"Alcide pardons Sam and Nicole by lying about their deaths but his pack figures out his lies, kidnapping Nicole and her mother and basically being giant assholes about everything. Can’t the government come up with Hepatitis W instead?"

I know Walt has no idea.  The question is, if there were dangerous men overseeing Gustavo's well-being — which prevented others from killing him before — wouldn't those people want to investigate his death?

Just rewatched this movie on IFC (nudity intact, but with commercials) — haven't seen it in years and it's sort of riveting.  I remember liking it when it came out ages ago, but seeing it again as an adult was a different experience.  Found myself oddly moved by it.  Afterwards, I immediately had to look it up on the

This is what gets me.  There is this question the show presented and never really followed up on.  Why can't you kill Gustavo Fring?

Rex Reed is a worthless troll.  Completely irrelevant.  The only way anyone pays attention to him anymore is when he writes shit like this.  He loves the attention and there are never any repercussions.
