One hour reading through the slush pile would disabuse you of that notion.

I'm not a screenwriter but there had to have been some way of getting the characters in the same moral positions without actually using the squid.

We're never getting noir back. People root for anti-heroes now. (Breaking Bad ended with the protagonist literally liberating someone from the Nazis.) You can't go back to people getting their just deserts after that. Audiences will reject it. They'd view it (wrongly, but culture is not an opinion) as simplistic.

Routh was fine. The movie was terrible.

Bay, mostly, doesn't take himself seriously.

I liked him in The Tudors. I even liked The Man from U.N.C.L.E., but this is not the right role for him. He'd be a better Bond.

Why do the studios rely on Snyder so much? His movies are panned and it's not like they are such box office favorites to overcome the criticism.
This sounds like Azzarello's Lex Luthor: Man of Steel with Batman as Lex Luthor.

How soon we forget Red Band Society,

"Look what all his book learning did for him."

This is the plot that the documentarians for Out of the Clear Blue Sky wanted to have. Damn truth.

I live in an area where the line between youth sports coach, personal trainer, and gigolo is a thin one so the "In it for the moms" coach joke worked for me.

It's also a nice metaphor for how domestic violence gets shuffled off to the side for the entire case.

I doubt this show will get a full season, but how shows get regular coverage. Dramas tend to be more talked about than comedies, episodic more than procedural, and "genre" over primetime soap and this meets all three criteria. They probably gave Damien a chance as well because none of the other reviewing sites were…

Blake Jenner and Jack O'Connell are the other two finalists.

I do think they have something with Hershey and James when he's allowed for about 5 seconds to be evil. (Although that priest was being kinda pushy).

I was out on this show, and then they promised more Chad Radwell and studly doctors. I must be the easiest mark in the world.

Well, we are talking Selena Roberts and Duff Wilson, not exactly shining beacons of journalism.

True. Even though for most of those guys, I'd be handing that powerpoint out like a business card at every bar I went to.

No, that's why it would be a comedic entry. Maybe "scandal" is too strong a word. I'll fix.

One of the interviewed Duke players was part of a decidedly lesser Duke sex kerfuffle. If 30 For 30 ever wants to do a comedic doc, that should be a topic.
