I very much liked the low-key moments hinting at his internalized trauma, especially the Jonathan Groff scene; it reminded me of BCoop's best moments in The Place Beyond the Pines (which I still say is massively underrated and features a MUCH better performance from him that in Silver Linings Playbook or American

Wait, what the hell. I've had a MoviePass for a year and it's been fabulous (I live in NYC and I have no life + excellent time-management skills = lots & lots o' movies), but the app has been messed up for ages now and the 24-hour rule is wildly inconsistent. Is this why, because it was sold to AMC??? Way to tell us,

I have one as well and it doesn't work at the Sunshine, Lincoln Plaza, Anthology, Film Forum and I think one or two others. But for the most part it's quite worth it, in my opinion.

Oh, Rami. I already watched The War at Home for you, wasn't that enough?? Ye gods, the things I do for love.

I think she said "my kid." I'm like 70-80% sure.

Um, hello, "Winterbell." It sounds all Bath and Body Works.

I hate to be all pedantic and "omg too soon," but was a 'hell yeah, brotherhood of cops and especially NYPD!' really the right tone for an episode right now, what with everything in the news? As you say it is a cop show, sort of, and it's not like those themes have never popped up before, but it just felt a little…I

Are we going to talk about the fact that in his preachy monologue about the website's classlessness and the symbolic mean-spirited cattiness of the "most overrated movies" list, he inadvertently quoted Crash, widely regarded as preachy and overrated ("you embarrass me")?? Because I about died laughing. I actually

Ugh. No thanks. Bring back Gilbert instead. I'm still cackling at Giancarlo's deadly-serious delivery of "Remember Etta, your nanny? Well, SHE had a hot cousin!!"

That actually kind of reminds me of the whole Daniel Tosh fallout when all those comedians instantly rushed to his defense because he'd been — gasp — heckled. (I mean, that wasn't actually heckling because he legit asked the audience to yell out topics, but whatever, let's go with his claim.) Just the way they

Yeah, the more I think about it the less sense that makes. That's either profoundly elitist (i.e., don't let the commoners into our super-special clubhouse!!) or weirdly spoiler-phobic, and in as much as this show is largely based around real events of the past, spoilers don't much apply, apart from things like the

I salute this comment in so many ways, but Aaron may actually show up at your door and challenge you to a cagefight for using Network against him in that way. I'm just saying.

I did a legitimate Rachel Green "NOOOOOO" when they started up with another verkakte slow-mo emotional musical montage — like holy shit, I'm still not over the "Fix You" one — and then "NOOOOOO"d anew when I recognized Kevin Rankin in Will's photo. Why, show, why?? It has such potential and just keeps shooting itself

Good God, this film. But I guess the question is about how it's going to be presented: the film has a shocking, horrifying "twist" because major events unfolded during the filming; it was meant to be one story and then suddenly became another. With this series, though, it's all in the past. So do they intend to be

See, I thought this season was making a serious effort to make Maggie way more awesome (or at least more proactive and competent at her job) and Jim WAY worse. They both seem very different from their season-2 selves, anyway. To me.

What I love is that the Studio 60 pilot was a hardcore Network ripoff (okay, fine, reference) — and then that show ultimately failed and Sorkin basically decided that he deserved a mulligan and did virtually the same thing in the Newsroom pilot with "America is not the greatest country in the world" and the fallout

I have never before in my life actually yelled "DUMP THE MOTHERFUCKER ALREADY" at my screen, but tonight I did. Jim really is the absolute worst, and I think the show actually knew it this time…? I mean, I think it was more "he's being a dick to his girlfriend and that sucks" rather than "he's not only condescending

If you like him, check out the decidedly underrated Away We Go; he's really great and heartbreaking in that in just a few brief scenes.

Moreover, there just aren’t enough portrayals of strong, smart female characters on TV, who really enjoy being alone but also enjoy having sex.
I really hope they stick with this and don't turn it into, like, Don 'curing' Sloan of her weird loner outsider shtick — I love them together in many ways, but to me that "I'm

Sloan was awesome and everyone else was considerably less annoying than usual, so I'm gonna forgive the fact that they kinda stole the swollen-tongue allergic-reaction joke that "Friends" used like actually fifteen years ago. (Remember, Ross and the kiwi?)
