"Will it explode?"
Pete's pillow talk with Mrs. Dawes.

Glad they showed Don pulling off Tomorrow Never Knows; despite its heavy-handed symbolism of the changing of the generational  guard (and showing how
clueless the firm was in thinking A Hard Day’s Night was the apogee of the
Beatles progress),  it really made no sense for pandering, virtuous Megan to suggest it for Don

Never got the Nighy love. Underplays so much he seems embalmed.

Obviously that wouldn't happen. You're just on shallow hateathon for The Killing the rest of the board is on.

Goddamn, are Seattle tribes suing for defamation for being portrayed as smirking, violent villians. Dammit, Holder may be a methhead but he's our methhead.

Roth at his best is beyond balls. Sabbath's Theater annihilates everything twenty years in either direction.

Godfather III had more than Sofia as a problem; just a tired redundancy (and desperately needed Robert Duvall)), despite Al's moving confession of killing Fredo and the final wordless scream (plus that spiked hair just made no sense).

Strange, the audience in '93 loved it.

Jagger never did heroin. Whoops, the truth makes me a troll again, right, Col.?

How does telling the truth about his speaking accent (which indeed is quite refined - about a billion examples on youtube) make me a troll?

I don't think you're supposed to get anything about Ruffalo's portrayal at all.

Do you honestly think starting a child on Dostoyevsky will encourage his/her love of reading?  You start with sentences spaced around comics panels, and the head-start has begun…

No one said literacy has to lead to a collection of useless post-graduate degrees.

A collection of sheepish looks and mild stammers does not suggest someone afraid of turning into a seven-foot green killing machine.

Quiz Show was on HBO. Hadn't seen it in forever; well worth skipping tool Manning for.

Ruffalo seemed ill at ease the whole time, like he couldn't locate the source of Banner's torment. I think he's better suited to smaller films.

A few too many discussions of the Tesseract and the Stark-Banner kibitzing slowed things down, but the power of the battle scenes and the NY finale were undeniable.

Just saw it. Some of it was slow-going  (they could have cut some of the Tesseract discussions and the 'Stark-Banner sympathy' scene, but the exctiement of seeing them all together and the NY battler were undeniable.

Yeah, seems like they're jumping the gun introducing Thanos this early in the franchise. They could do Masters of Evil, Ultron, Kree-Skrull War….

@avclub-7e55fbac74afcf6db73ab2e6106e65e1:disqus  But you're undercutting the innate premise of the What If? concept, which was to take a moment in Marvel continuity and say, what if so-and-so chose to do this, hesitated a second longer, etc., so that a different outcome occured from what we know. It wasn't just 'What
