Loved it, overall
Too young to have experienced the grindhouse era.

I'll cop. I was born in 1978, so I was too mostly too old for Limp Bizkit, though I had one of their songs (no clue what) on a mixed CD a friend with a very early CDR burned for me in 1997 or 1998. I'll admit I didn't hate "Nookie" as much as I should have.

Why didn't we listen when Jeremy Piven, Jessica Walter and Jon Favreau warned us about academia?

"No action until Taken? What about Quite-Gone-Jim?"

Jimmy Stewart was pretty cool playing against the 'aw shucks' thing in "Anatomy of Murder." He's playing a small-town lawyer offering a really dubious murder defense for Ben Gazzara and his courtroom scenes really play up the Jimmy Stewart-tm folksiness, but when he's not in front of the jury, the character is much

It's been a decade or so, but I think the shark in "Jaws" actually choked on the marine biologist and died from that. His body somehow covers up its gills?

Disappointing
I just was kinda meh about the finale. Tudyk was good (but he's been pretty good in everything, like stoner kid in "Wonderboys" who asks about Errol Flynn's sexual use of paprika) but the ending with him just sorta wandering off was anti-climatic. The character seemed like he'd come to the end of his arc

"Anyone else see disturbing parallels between Sierra's rape at the hands of her handler, and Adele using Victor for sex? It's not quite the same thing, but disturbingly close in my mind. Both Adelle and the handler saw the actives as playthings for their own furtive sexual needs, to have their memories manipulated and

Am I remembering right that we know pretty much nothing about Boyd, other than that he used to be a cop, and why he's willing to work for the Dollhouse? He seems like he'd need some reason to work for pimps and killers beyond a steady paycheck.

"As for the BSG comparison… The look of the new BSG has so much in common with the look of Firefly in the documentary style of the shooting and way the CGI is produced with the ships they could almost be the same show, if not the same production team."

Canadian MTV?
That wouldn't be any percievable difference from American MTV. In the late-90s they were playing videos from 3 a.m. to 8 a.m. or something. I'm not sure if they even still do that.

Boobies!
"I remember a time i would say to friends "I like all of Ang Lee's films and none of them have any boobs in them!" Looks like Brokeback awakened something in him."

Wheaton's idea, I think
He said he thought they were getting stale, I think, and didn't want to do it anymore. Go search his blog if you really want to know.

Mike Binder!
The name that makes anyone familiar with it run screaming in the other direction.
