Hopefully the additional exposure makes the members of Portishead feel better about their impending McDonald's employment.

"Lord of the Rings, Peter Jackson comes to New Zealand, says to me, 'Sir Ian, I want you to play the wizard Gandalf,' and I said, 'You are aware that I am not really a wizard,' and he said, 'Yes, I am aware of that, but what I want you to do is use your acting skills to portray the wizard.'"

I don't know if the ending is quite as straightforward as "good" or "bad," but people fall into that trap because they don't think of Teller's character as having agency- in most of the interpretations, he's either pushed to greatness by Simmons, or pushed to an early grave by the same. But the fact is, at the end, he…

Wow. Who woulda thunk that an organization created and supported by movie studios (the MPAA, obvs) would throw its support behind a movie studio?

Imagine if the show had cut out the whole "Japanese teenager" subplot until the very last scene, where all of the Dean's behavior (except for "meow," I guess) would be explained. Isn't that a much more explosive laugh than building it up throughout?

Fun fact: Roger's picks for #1 movies from 2001 to 2004 were:

I may be mistaken, but Wesley Morris's review of Empire on Grantland led me to believe that "thot" is more a linguistic innovation of the African-American community in general than the texting generation in particular.

She did ask Peggy, "you're not married, right?" as though she was trying to confirm a hypothesis she had.

In fairness to the gypsy, I'm almost certain that whatever Pete did to her, he deserves what he's getting.

And then she starts fucking Roger, presumably on the same patch of carpet where Don and her daughter fucked a few years earlier.

He calls the gang the "Mutants" because miscegenation!

*Varys lays back in the cart to sleep. He's so tired that he doesn't notice Tyrion bursting out of the weirwood entrance and running toward the car full tilt, or Hodor, completely naked, chasing after him, his flaccid penis whipping back and forth in the chill morning wind*

You know why white people like you?

It should be called Silicone Valley because its ambition is bigger than normal while still feeling surprisingly natural.

I dunno, that link led to a January 2015 post where they announced their newest business venture: a Bitcoin exchange.

Now I want to go call some punks pussy proverbial pansy panty-holders.

Oh, man! I just realized that Chuck probably asked for all those documents to be printed at least partly so that Jimmy would have to use his code, so that if Jimmy said "why don't we shop it around to other firms?" he'd have a plausible excuse for holding onto the case.

How dare you! I really enjoy this character, and look forward to seeing more of his adventures, and what do you do? YOU MAKE MORE ADVENTURES OF HIS FOR ME TO WATCH AND POTENTIALLY ENJOY? Now, I consider myself a reasonable individual, but this is just beyond the pale.

Little late, but Cain is actually the family screwup in that story- his gift of vegetables doesn't please God as much as Abel's sacrifice of his sheep. Which, yeah, isn't much of a screwup, but he makes up for it real quick with two big ones.

He's disavowed it (another Harmon project "ruined" by studio interference), but I've always thought it was pretty good. It's a movie that's not afraid to actually scare kids, but also doesn't make it too scary for kids.
