Hooray! I remember Todd (or someone else) mentioning that they weren't able to get Clone High and that's why they didn't cover the musical episode in the roundtable. But maybe it's a lot easier for one person to get it than the entire staff.

Aw shucks. Well who knows, maybe someone else at the TV Club has a passion for the new, cuter Jay Sherman design?

It's also getting fantastic reviews and will likely pick up some Golden Globe/Emmy nods, so if NBC is in a nurturing mood they could give it a second season to grow its ratings.

The US remake of Coupling. Ugh.

I'm not even really an anime fan, but doing a rewatch of Evangelion with TV Club Classic could be fun.

Yeah, I was agreeing with the Poor Toby sentiment. Guy can't catch a break!

I think there are legality issues with getting Clone High in the US, otherwise I'd suggest that.

Yesss Hannibal, I look forward to new episodes almost as much as I do Mad Men or GoT. Any word on its renewal chances?

He is so good in Tinker, Tailor. Plus, the HBO Hitchcock movie he was in was way better than Hitchcock.

"Rap…heh…more like…more like…retards attempting poetry! Right guys?"

This also sort of applies to Julie Taymor, but Titus is badass and Frida showed she had a decent grasp of character.

Sirk also was excellent at supremely understated moments - SPOILERS FOR A 1945 FILM SERIOUSLY GUYS the kid brother's drowning scene in Leave Her to Heaven is a masterpiece, the camera lingering on Gene Tierney's sunglasses obscured face as he drowns just slightly off camera. Chilling.

This is a terrible, terrible opinion.

The Bowie cover of Nature Boy in Moulin Rouge is possible my favorite version of the song. Sorry, Nat King Cole.

Keeping with this idea, I guess we could give Todd Haynes a crack at Gatsby in another couple years.

I like Luhrmann's first three films, but Australia is horrendous drivel.

This sounds really good. Polley is emerging as one of Canada's best filmmakers, can't wait to see where she'll go from here.

Berberian Sound Studio looks amazing, I can't wait to see it. Hopefully another film about a sound man going crazy with a bigger star won't open this summer.

My friend just got separated from her husband - she's 22, and got married at 19.

Wasn't this based on a novel? If it was, why isn't the book's original title and author included in the film's title? Damn it, Lee, you're making it harder and harder for me to defend your work!
