Well, it's got No Country For Old Men, which might inspire one to become an alcoholic.

It's not very good, but that hasn't stopped loads of movies from being released. And it's got the director of Kung-Fu Panda, and that made loads of money. Very strange circumstances!

I saw the French release, and it unfortunately subsumes the original story in an uninspired, overwrought Pixaresque "framework" that takes up the whole movie. Still quite handsome in the stop-motion portions, however.

I'm usually quite wary of the whole "my show isn't on your list?" thing, but I do find it rather strange that OITNB's fourth season isn't on here, considering it received a lot of acclaim, in spite of all the controversy. I am a little surprised about this game show the A.V. Club has written bunches about being on

Thanks!

Not being moved by "The Suitcase" is unthinkable to me, but all-righty! I do get and agree with not liking Fat Betty, followed by Elizabeth Taylor Betty. And yeah, Rory Gilmore is particularly bad in the role, but those are great Pete episodes. Just a difference in taste, I suppose!

Oh, I'll watch it- I'm not going to skip out on even an interminable part of "Pulp Fiction", because that's bound to be better than all of another movie! And I love that car scene- there's just a lot of extra baggage.

No, no, no! Mad Men is a magnificent portrait of a decade, and Seasons 4 and 5 are peak seasons. Season 3 is the weakest season of the series, retreading the themes of Season 2 and featuring Don's least interesting lover (the school-teacher? What is her name?), even if it has "Guy Walks Into an Advertising Agency" and

Honestly, I find "The Bonnie Situation" section pretty interminable, and, even worse, it features a Tarantino performance. The film definitely peaks early with "Vincent Vega and Marcellus Wallace's Wife", which is one of my all-time favorite portions of film.

I might be in the minority for actually liking the serial killer plotline (in the first place, it was not as plausible a show as a lot of people made it out to be). Darkly funny satire, there's really no comic book villainy like you say, and we get that scene where McNulty listens to a description of the likely

Thank you, DET!

Thank you very much!

I feel like the key scene of this powerful and cathartic episode of television is one that summarizes “Orange in the New Black” in microcosm: that beautiful, beguiling scene with Poussey on the subway. There appears to be a major hint towards it being “a statement of purpose” through the book the African-American

My favorite Coen brothers film, just deliciously fiendish and low-budget; they're still great directors now (if a bit more uneven), but they definitely peaked at the beginning of their career, a la Spielberg. Just look at their first four films: Blood Simple, Raising Arizona, Miller's Crossing, and Barton Fink, four

I doubt they're going to continue in that manner- the lighter (by the standards of a show about a prison) third season came after the second season (which was quite dark, if somewhat tonally confused). I have a feeling that next season will take a step back. There needs to be breathers, and I think Orange recognizes

"Hey! I'm a person!"
Succinct, but one of the most summative quotes of the show.

I suppose that any television episode as bold as this one is going to get some sort of backlash- there's already five grades up in the community score, and they're in four different sections. I expected there to be a varied reaction, but I'm surprised a lot of people aren't acknowledging that this as being is as

Good sir McNutt, I'd edit your commentary on the spoilers in the stray observations- one of those might be an upcoming spoiler.

Did anyone else hyperventilate during the final scene? The furious, chaotic cuts, the way you could just barely see Poussey under Gerber's elbow, the camera coming back to her more and more frequently as the scene went on- it felt liked it was designed to make you freak out (and it probably was). And gracious, that

I swear, that was kind of chill-inducing, especially in the context of that montage. Judy King rather frightens me.
