I'm liking The Tomorrow People too, although it's not as good and self-assured as Arrow was in its early going IMO.

Not his funniest, but it made me laugh a few times. Basically, anyone riffing on Last Vegas makes me laugh.

Yeah, I like how they went from the 17th century to the 19th in the span of one opera.

At first I thought she was autistic too (I posted about that a few weeks ago, when I was annoyed that the writers seemed to not know what to do with Shaw), but I think this episode showed pretty clearly that she's not autistic. I'm very happy that we finally got to see who she is. I should've had faith in the writers

I had to watch the end through my hands in front of my eyes. It was SO PAINFUL.

And ugh, why is Disqus showing my actual face on here instead of my awesome Gena Rowlands Faces avi? I'd much rather have people look at that than me when they read my comments.

I just finished watching this episode, and holy crap that was great. Great job, Emily - this episode definitely deserves an A. I found the climax of the episode incredibly moving. I don't even really have the energy to dissect it, quite honestly. It's kind of amazing how invested I became in Wan over just 40 minutes.

Every time someone brings up Hepcats, I get really sad. I vividly remember being a kid in the 90s and looking at a copy of Hepcats in my local comic book store. At the time, I was like 12 or something, and my hormones were running wild - I loved that there were naked boobs in the comic. But as I read it, I got so

Ha ha, what a story!

I actually think Passion of the Christ works because Gibson is obviously making a very personal statement. I mean, he had to produce the movie himself because no studio would touch an ultra-violent two hour movie in an ancient language.

Ah, I said the same thing above (about it being sold out.) Sorry!

I should mention that it took less than two hours to sell out of two performances. Tickets cost $55 apiece, and there is a $35 food/drink minimum. So it's paying for itself.

Yeah, I've been wanting to watch that for years. This really reminds me of my childhood - my friends and I used to watch Indiana Jones every weekend until our parents kicked us out of the house, and then we went out back and re-enacted them.

Actually, on his twitter feed, Malina said he fed Olivia's lines to Tony Goldwyn. Which kind of makes me think he was joking.

Oh, I think this is a way better movie than Carnage. He seemed to have no idea how to modulate the tone of that script in order to bring out the comedy (never really his forte.)

@Roswulf:disqus You won't get any argument with me about Next to Normal not being good, but I just can't say I liked In the Heights as much as you did. (Which, again, is a matter of taste.)

I don't know that In the Heights is a better show than Next to Normal. Although I guess it's a little more uniquely American (although of course the committee throws that rule out all the time.)

@avclub-42763705844bf5e2af4abd6c898f8dcb:disqus And Lost in Yonkers is hardly the worst winner. Look at the 30s and 40s winners - lots of justly-forgotten plays there.

Yes, I've seen it. It's not the greatest movie ever, and it bites off more than it can chew by trying to follow four shows at the same time. It would've been a better film if it had focused on just one (or maybe two, in the sense that Wicked and Ave Q had a "rivalry" going on.)

I'm sad this film is so bad. I was kind of interested in seeing it, but I'll certainly pass now.
