I saw it this weekend at NYFF. If Michael Cimino or Roland Joffe had directed "Raiders of The Lost Ark", it would have probably been something like Gray's film, which for me really worked. I loved it. And Darius Khondji's cinematography combined with Christopher Spelman's score makes for some spellbinding moments.…

More like pass the apples! I really wanted Tom to say, "Um do you have some oatmeal or frosted flakes perhaps?"

FYI - it was Pino Donaggio's score to "Blow Out" (laid over a visual reference to "Carrie" - so shout outs to DePalma all around)

Great call.
I'm finally catching up on this show and thought Christopher Cross for some reason.

Since outing and negating Brody, over the past three seasons, Homeland has had a so-so season and a solid finale (season 3), then a solid season and a so-so finale (season 4). Overall I think this was their best post-Brody season (I know he was in season 3 but I found the accompanying suspense with his character was…

"He'll spit shoelaces?"

"Omega Station". So many meanings to the finale's title - we're not even discussing the title. You win Pizzolatto.

My DVR clipped it off. Sorry for the dumb question. Thanks man.

I just want to say RIP to Paul Woodrugh and Taylor Kitsch's performance. I know he got a lot of shit for his contribution to the show, but for me he did so much in that negative space: his eyes, his lack of emotion, of anything. Sometimes it was like we were looking at a blank page, too blank - but purposefully so, as…

Whoa - 90 mins? where'd you hear that. awesome.

Yeah I missed that - but per below, I think the idea of viagra symbolically running through the season is also pretty cool.

In a way, that's even better. I love the idea of the men taking drugs this season to "prove" sexual prowess and reinforce a false sense of superiority running through the season.

Ray's "party for one" was more interesting/exciting than the Full Moon Party.

Minor notes:

MVP of this episode was director John Crowley. His "The Pillowman" was one of the most intense things I'd seen on Broadway and "Boy A" is a really underrated film. His ability to build suspense, especially in Ray's tailing scenes was top notch. I think one thing we've learned this season is how director and actor…

I think they are all going to get grilled for what happened. I wouldn't be surprised if next episode jumps ahead six months to a year (we did see Ani back in her Sheriff browns) with all the fallout - and would be in keeping with True Detective patterns.

The shootout was horribly staged, edited, directed and seemed woefully outdated - like a product of 80s TV.

Four episodes in and I'm mesmerized by Rhea Seehorn. Her quiet, intense performance is just something else. Love it.

To me the best of Glee was never about one person but about themes of earnest failures and painful honesty as a form of victory. This premiere certainly highlighted those themes so I'm hoping the final season will deliver.
