No, I mean, it wasn't a direct contradiction, but I feel like the word choice had to be intentional, just to maintain a faint ambiguity about the character. We like him, sure, but we shouldn't be too sure about it.

I kind of want to trust Stone purely because he's Turturro and I love him, but I didn't miss that he says "any lawyer who comes in and says 'I guarantee!' is a liar" and then two minutes later says that he "guarantees" no other decent lawyer will give them a better price.

Wow, amazingly weird timing: just today & yesterday I was watching the two "Beyond the Prairie: The True Story of Laura Ingalls Wilder" TV movies from 2000 and 2002 for my job (yes, my real job) and thinking that the only interesting part was the decision to cast him as the romantic male lead (the Mr. Wilder in…

raises questions for me about whether she might also be mentally ill in some way

SERIOUSLY @ your last point. As horrifying as I found it, I get why her death makes sense in the story, but I cannot understand why no one, not even Taystee, at least attempted to save her. I guess they thought that showing one of her friends desperately trying and failing to bring her back would push the scene into…

Lots of people walked out of 21 Grams?! BYE @ their taste; that movie is incredible. A hell of a lot better than that pretentious nonsense Birdman. Yeah, I said it.

Oh, I was there too! The combination of walkouts and incredulous (?) laughter was kind of amazing to me. (I didn't even have that many walkouts in Wetlands.) I certainly get that it's not everyone's taste, but…did people not know what they were getting into? That was very odd.

So wait, do we know when Ethan became a werewolf and I just missed it, or has that not been clarified yet? I was waiting for the reveal that Kaetany had done it to him, somehow, as punishment for the Apache slaughter, but apparently not.

Seven Pounds was, to quote A.O. Scott's truly amazing review, "transcendently, eye-poppingly, call-your-friend-ranting-in-the-middle-of-the-night-just-to-go-over-it-one-more-time crazily awful motion pictures ever made," but it did introduce me to Charles Aznavour's "For Me…Formidable" and the Muse cover of "Feeling…

I would guess he'd been following along in the news to some degree? Jane had keeping him updated somehow? How and where I have no idea.

If commentary on The View becomes your ticket to cracking the case, maybe you just have to accept that you’re the worst cop in the world.
I laughed out loud at that, especially because they clearly only got two of them (Joy and the other one) to do it. If you've watched The View for five seconds ever, you know that…

Actually, the latter is closer!

I just listened to the Secret Window one for the first time recently, and I was literally standing in a store saying "OH MY GOD" out loud and making stupid faces in front of people because of that horrifying "David Lynch nightmare" story about the old woman next to them gnawing on a fish, Gollum-style. I'll never get…

Oh, so was I. Especially when he and Sharon kissed — I thought that was just a cruel setup. Like, 'oh, look at this nice couple. It would be a shame if

Yeah, I'm confused about that. I noticed that in Winter Soldier and have been taking it as canon ever since; as soon as we opened on that mysterious 1991 job in this one I was like 'oh lord, it's the Starks.' I get that Tony learning about it was a big moment, but I was unsure as to why it was being presented as a big…

I kinda had to laugh at Ben getting all serious about the custody trial and Jo just going "yeah, well, no one did that for ME!" and Stephanie just moaning about Kyle again. I love 'em, but the all characters on this show are kind of hilariously self-absorbed at times.

My best friend's a lawyer and he can't bring himself to watch HtGAWM for that same reason (despite a healthy love of Viola). He's like "she runs a full-time practice AND has time to be a professor?!?!"

I'm fine with comically-unrealistic and vindictive TV lawyers, but if they're going to be petty and harp on about stuff like trivia nights and favorite colors, you'd think Callie's lawyer would've made the point that Arizona never wanted kids and only changed her mind in a panic to get Callie back after the hospital…

THANK you, good lord. I know she has a high-tech high-heel leg (I distinctly remember everyone checking out her ass in a rather amusing scene), but damn, they didn't even try this time. Coupled with the very obvious pregnancy…come on, now. No one caught that even in the edit??

I guess we should've known Gabe was doomed [probably?? That looked like a lot of blood] as soon as he called Nina and was like 'I've discovered a big thing — tell ya later!' But in light of many other shows' fuckery I am rolling my eyes pretty hard at them [maybe] killing off the likable gay dude — no, the issues…
