If Jay isn't imprisoned and Adnan released within the run time of the final episode, Sarah Koenig will have betrayed us.

Include a link, ya dingus.

I can't remember not "getting" a book as much as I don't get Bleeding Edge.

I cannot for the life of me finish Bleeding Edge. I'm 400 pages in (it has taken me months); I always either can't tell what is going on or am bored. I had a little bit of a problem with Pynchon's language in Inherent Vice, but it has really made Bleeding Edge a thankless chore. Maybe I'm a dummy.

How do you mean? I haven't seen IV yet, but the two movies seem to be about wildly different subject matter.

Good point! I've often said that the best card the show could play would be a season about the two of them in direct opposition of one another.

Okay, I have watched all of House of Cards, and I really don't like it. ("Why did you watch it all?" you may ask. To have an informed opinion.) I theoretically like Kevin Spacey a lot (Glengarry Glen Ross is one of my favorite films, although it's hard to think of a good role I've seen him in where he didn't play a…

Didn't have Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, and Alison Brie on it. Not the best looking show.

I feel like, if they don't get the rights, they should just introduce a different female protagonist who is similar enough, a totally new serial killer with a different MO from Buffalo Bill, and SPOILER basically have the same Hannibal-helps-her-get-the-killer-but-himself-escapes plot. Aside from the iconic "lotion"…

Well aren't you hip?

What issue do you take with Silence? I don't necessarily disagree, I'm just curious. My personal reason for liking the tv show better is that the show seems so much less sympathetic and allied with Lecter than the movies do.

Linda Barangi has passed.

Where's Mulaney.

Thinking of how long ago Breaking Bad ended makes me realize how quickly my life is slipping into the future.

I don't feel truly qualified to respond until I've rewatched the film with your evaluation in mind. That being said, the final moments of the Master are among my favorite film endings. It's the half hour prior that tends to take the wind from my sails.

Drop "hack" from that sentence and I'm inclined to agree.

I want to love the Master. I've watched it maybe six times, and it always seems to me that after the scene with Phoenix walking back and forth touching the walls, the film is brutally boring. I understand that Anderson intentionally avoids resolving the character arcs, but that intentional subversion takes so long and…

Pretty sure the story is accurate. The other actor backing out allows the audience to wonder whether Dano plays both brothers because they are super identical, or whether it is just one man the whole time who has a far more complicated arc than we are shown. When Eli first shows up, Daniel and H.W. both give him a…

I want to see him work with grown up Mark Wahlberg.
