Me too, then I thought of the opening few seconds of Gimme Shelter, which despite its perhaps overuse by Scorsese, is an equally awesome thing to pass on to future generations.

The second best thing I have ever seen on TV is when Stevie showed up to the gang fight wearing Freddy gloves.

Please let this character be voiced by Steve Little.

Way too highbrow in an article about this show, but agreed on sentiment.

I didn't care for Panic Room, but I completely agree about how it clearly establishes a sense of space.

Yeah, it was sort of a variation on Beetlejuice so I can see that. And Fillion playing it sort of oblivious here sounds like a smart choice.

I saw Golden Boat when it played Anthology as well, but didn't really care for it. The one that turned me on to him was Three Lives and Only One Death, but my favorite is Time Regained, which I thought was an absolute masterpiece and by far the best adaptation of Proust. I also love his shorts and his first feature,

Gooble-gobble!

Yes, exactly. With virtually no dialogue at all, which is supposedly what J.C. Chandor's upcoming film that Mike references in the review does…

I think it's the movie where people are afraid of the internet.

To be honest, I don't think anyone involved with Ween should be able to complain about anyone else's music.

Yep, here are those guys you want to punch in the face, and here's Google along with them.

You don't include Double Indemnity in that list but do include Sabrina?!?! What are you, some kind of communist?

I like that version too, but it's wildly uneven because of the casting: Branagh, Thompson, and Michael Keaton are great, but most everyone else (especially Keanu Reeves and Denzel Washington) are woefully miscast.

I was sort of hoping this would be fun-stupid, to echo its own premise. Some other reviews seem to think it has decent scares and suspense, but that spatial incoherence thing has me worried. I find it hard to get invested in a one-setting horror movie that can't properly delineate its characters in that space.

Sounds insufferable, but I'll likely still check this out at some point since they fulfilled a fantasy of mine by giving Rory Gilmore a Betty Page wig and putting a gun in her hand.

This piece is worth it just for reminding me of this:

Bummer about the voiceover thing. This looked mildly intriguing because I thought it would be quiet and contemplative. Oh well…

I'd just like to state that I would sleep with an 82-year old Joan.

I read it in the voice of Eddie Argos:
