Honestly, that is the most beautiful score I have ever heard in any television show ever.

I don't know if I need a TV Club Classic, though it would certainly be welcome. But a "100 episodes" article would be perfectly fine by me (or is there one already and I completely missed it?).
I disagree. I actually think the sixth season is far and away the best. It's when the kids get older and are able to be a full presence on the show, so they ditch the ridiculous plots about Francis being on military school, or going to Alaska, or working on Dude Ranch.
The duet in Lindapendent Woman feels more in the Emmy's league, I think. Most of the music in Bob's Burgers happen when one of the characters just decides to sing. In Lindapendent, for the first time ever the show commits to a full-on musical number (and it's fantastic, obviously).
I really wish this was good, but I'm not hopeful. I do like me some soap (I still watch Grey's Anatomy and often enjoy it, not to mention Switched at Birth), though I don't think Desperate Housewives worked as one. The first season was fantastic because it parodied soaps; once it fully turned into one, the show became…
One of the things I love about The Mary Tyler Moore Show is how perfectly leveled are the more serious moments. Where most shows tend to stop everything they're doing and pretty much light a neon sign saying "THIS IS THE PART WHERE YOU SAY 'AWWWN'", MTM would achieve those moments in completely natural ways. And just…
I stopped watching by episode 4 or 5. This sucks. I thought last season was the best season any Showtime dramedy had ever made. A really powerful, gripping season-long arc, a mesmerizing performance by Edie Falco (who should have won the Emmy over Julia Louis-Dreyfus, much as I love JLD in Veep) and, above all,…
I don't know if that's exactly the correct order so much as the order the episodes were filmed. I think you should consider the first four episodes of season 2 to be placed somewhere in the middle of season 1. I don't have any official information, but I'm pretty sure ABC told the writers that they were airing those…
I wish Krysten Ritter could play this character for the rest of her life. She absolutely nails it. Chloe is such a delight to watch in every single scene and she's such a well-conceived character. And while June could occasionaly annoy me, Dreama Walker was also fantastic. I hope to see those two back on my screen…
Not just that, but she achieves a beautiful balance where she impersonates just enough of that character so it's not weird that people don't recognize right away that that's somebody else, but at the same time she shows us little details that differentiate the actual character from somebody impersonating such…
That's very well put. The scenes where it's just the clones talking to each other are outstanding, really. I mean, she's acting to herself and she's ENTIRELY convincing. Not a moment goes bye in my mind while I'm watching those scenes where I'm thinking "oh, this is ridiculous, that's the same actress talking to…
I think he's absolutely right, and I talk from experience. I marathoned the first four seasons of 30 Rock (back when season 5 was about to premiere), one of my favorite comedies of all time, and it was exahusting. And I watched these seasons in a month. I still love those seasons, but maybe that's why I find the last…
I completely disagree about the pacing. I watched only four episodes so far, but they all flow very nicely, I barely could tell they're longer than usual, and I didn't felt it was different than the ones from seasons past.
@avclub-f6f154417c4665861583f9b9c4afafa2:disqus See, you talked about how faithful this movie is to its source material and political believes and that's exactly what I disliked about it. The fact that it feels like a depiction of those writings and nothing else. What I said is that Soderbergh chose to film…
Ever? Yeah, we definitely differ. Soderbergh wouldn't be in my top 50.
Che is horrendous. Really, it's probably the worst kind of bio ever. No sense of rhythm whatsoever. Worst of all, it has no interest in dramatizing anything. It thinks that by merely depicting the events that happened in Che's life in a documentary stile it's actually doing quality cinema (Che's barely a human being,…
If that's the case, then that's fair.
That movie makes you reconsider everything you ever thought about Jesse Bradford (granted, nobody ever thought about him for over 5 minutes, but still).
Haven't seen it. :(
From what critics have been saying, this must be Soderbergh's best film. Soderbergh has never made an A-movie. His best movies (King of the Hill and Sex, Lies and Videotape) are B+ movies.
He's one of those rare filmmakers who I applaud for trying different things, but who's failed more than succeeded.
