When I heard about "Leviathan", I was hoping it was an Erast Fandorin novel.

As I age, I get less willing to watch depressing movies. "Amour"—let's go to the multiplex to watch old people get sick and die. Bleah.

She had a topless scene once, you know.

I liked how it was imperative to hack the skirt off of Pamela Sue Martin's dress when it was time to climb out of the ball room, but everyone was OK with fat Shelley Winters keeping her skirt.

I agree, American actresses need to get naked more often. Hear, hear.

"An Officer and a Spy", the Dreyfus Affair as retold by Robert Harris.

I have a theory that Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons are the worst group ever. Seriously, listen to "Big Girls Don't Cry". Really listen to it. So, so bad.

I think calling it "cynical" is going a little too far. George might be "stuck", but it's his home, and everyone loves him, and he realizes that he really has made a difference. And Potter is going to die alone.

It should have. It really should have.

Oh Jesus, there's nothing in the world worse than Americans using British slang. I remember a coworker once saying the "queue" for the bathroom was long. Shut the fuck up.

Watched "Gigi" off of TCM. Winner of nine Oscars, including Best Picture of 1958.

"mwaaaaaaaaaaah the French"

Hayley Atwell's breasts should be enough to keep her on TV for years, dammit.

Yeah, I didn't see anything wrong with last season's finale beyond how dull the teams were.

And did you notice that the team that didn't get out of the starting block bailed on the show and didn't come for the finale? Hard to blame them. I'd be pissed too if I made the Amazing Race and my racing experience was a half-hour in a Los Angeles drainage ditch.

I didn't care for the "Sweet Scientists". First, there's the stupid name "Sweet Scientists", when from what I understand, they're just technicians making candy. Second, they were one of those teams that lucked their way into the finale. I realize the winner is whoever won the last leg, but I like to see one of the…

"Leslie Jones had nothing to do tonight"

Hopefully.

So that's why he killed himself?

Liam Neeson in any role on Game of Thrones would be goddamn tremendous. The only problem is there isn't any role left big enough for him, is there?
