Right- especially when Don sees that Peggy + Ted work together with mutual respect (and underlying crush).  Don's always considered Peggy "his", and he's not going to be happy that she likes working for Ted much more than she likes working for him. 

Exactly.  Luhrman is all about the shiny, shiny surface, and Gatsby is all about the hollowness beneath the shiny surface.  Based on the clips and ads I've seen (LOOK!!!  SHINY!!!), I don't think Luhrman gets it.  He's a romantic.  I don't know that he has it in him to portray Gatsby and Daisy the way they are in the…

I'm surprised everybody's so anti-Peggy + Ted (Peg-guh-guh?).  Fucking your boss is a monumentally stupid idea, but the two characters are sweet together.  He clearly adores her, and recognizes her brilliance.  Isn't that what we want for our girl Peggy?

As a wise man once said, can't make a movie without Michael Caine.

Theory: due to wormholes and science, Chastain and Hathaway are somehow BOTH his dead wife!

He was eating lungs immediately after someone said "The killer removed her lungs!  But why?  What would he do with them?"  It goes beyond suggestion.

Good call.  I can't remember if I saw this movie and didn't like it, or just saw Kick Ass and removed this from my Netflix queue. 

Haha- I was about to post that I loved how the randomness of NBC's Thursday lineup meant cutting from Andy's giant grin to the GRISLIEST SHOW ON TV!

I thought we already knew that- didn't they show him eating somebody's lungs in the pilot? 

@avclub-96f15daceb6669363fbf7f762ed57703:disqus  The underlying dynamic is that having sex makes women skanks and men awesome.  Tony Stark is awesome because he picks up this hot journalist at the party.  The journalist is a trashy skank for sleeping with him, and Gwenyth is right to smirk and call her garbage,…

Wow- when I've mentioned the *crazy* sexism of that "taking out the trash" scene to other people, they look at me blankly.  Thanks for validating me, internet stranger!

I think the problem is that Shannon's become the default casting choice for grim, rage-driven psychopaths.  So his work starts to seem repetitive because he gets the same role over and over.  He's great at it, but it starts to seem like the same old thing.

@avclub-664a26f366b9ef4988631e95af9b366d:disqus was actually BOTH sorority chicks the whole time!  Twist!

Yeah- Shamalan is a TERRIBLE director (and a worse writer), but the man  knows how to create and sustain an atmosphere, which is where most horror movies directors face plant.

The Village had a great, creepy atmosphere.  And yes, you can kinda see the twist coming, but it still works in the film- it's not just a twist for the sake of a twist.   I liked how it took little kid horror (monsters in the woods!) and turned it into grown up horror (well meaning but manipulative politicians).

You forgot where they RAN AWAY FROM THE WIND!  And apparently ran faster than the wind, because they didn't commit suicide.

I guess I'll make a token effort to defend The Village, which I really like.  But the massive vocal hatred for that movie has kinda ground me down.   I don't even have the energy to create a "World Weary Village Defender" fake profile.

I think Pete and Trudy have both changed over the years.  When he and Trudy were first married, I think they were happy to be part of the 1960s version of a power couple- she'd chat up his bosses'/clients' wives, volunteer for the Met and get friendly with other important men's wives, do an impressively well-rehearsed…

Sorry- that should read *weren't* prejudice free. Obviously there is no world where Harry is prejudice free.

I don't think Joan's capital R, George Wallace, cross burning, Mississippi-style Racist, but she's a white girl who was born in the 30s who hasn't encountered many black people in her life.  She's sad MLK died, and supports civil rights, but she has some buried prejudice (as evidenced by her reaction to Kinsey's black…
