I was also expecting a Hieronymous Bosch show.  In fact, I still am.  This guy is going to solve crimes committed by giant bird-men whose heads are made of ice-skates and dance on the chests of burning sinners, isn't he?

This is probably going to mark me down as a "blind worshipper" in some people's eyes, but I didn't see the Hussein thing as worship at all.  I saw it as people thumbing their nose at the way Fox always used his full name as a racist dog whistle, and you don't have to agree with a single one of Obama's policies to find…

"You go into the wreckage of Metropolis.  You snap General Zod's neck.  You make a Calculon-worthy NOOOOOOOOO.  This is unusual to you, since you had not previously thought of yourself as having something akin to a moral code.  You do not know what one of those is, for a start" - excerpt from If On a Winter's Night a…

I've never met one of those people either.  I do meet a lot of conservative assholes who blindly worship the market and think it'll solve everything in its infinite wisdom.

Now I'm picturing a remake of Breathless with Tupac in the Jean Seberg role.  Still works!

Great stuff.  I only watched that show for the first time last Christmas, and I was blown away by the final episode.  Michael Gambon's performance in it is one of the greatest pieces of acting I've ever seen.  And is there a more beautiful, relatable, moving example of writers writing about writing than Philip taping…

Rohmer's Triple Agent has a "thanks" in the end credits to Kevin Smith.  I know it's probably not that Kevin Smith, but it always makes me wonder… and write Rohmer/Smith slashfic.

He's got so much creativity since he started smoking pot, it can't be constrained within the mundane parameters of, like, going and working and making something like a fuckin' corporate asshole.

You say that, but I prefer the comfort and reassurance of knowing there are some frontiers in this crazy game.

They're also pathetically grateful.  Attractive people might turn you down.

No, he means fans of the indigenous British tribes during the Roman occupation.  Of course, most archaeologists now consider Celtic a misnomer - call them Iceni fans, Cornovi fans, Genii Cucculati fans, etc.

In no real order at all:

Yes they did!  I never saw it, but the four minute (four minute!) trailer was hilarious.

The source comic's author isn't pleased with the movie, and the two leads have been talking about what a fucking nightmare the director was - I'd say it's starting already. By the time the movie comes out it will be genuinely impossible to have a conversation about what's actually on the screen.

I want Werner Herzog to narrate a scathing documentary about the existential tragedy of his life.

Chris has seen another movie where people fight in New York.

No-one can ever say you don't have John Larroquette's spine.

As a British person, Blogging and Dogging sounds like it could be a very different movie to me.  You'd still get your hard-R sex scene, though.

God, that fucking meme that people who don't like Dunham are just confusing her with her character from Girls.  Does Hannah also write her articles in The New Yorker?  Does she do her interviews in character?  What about Twitter?  She's a nasty, snobbish, racist brat regardless of medium.
