I'll be honest, I hated the first movie (having not read the comic or anything).  But I want to see this one because fucking Jim Carrey!  Is that sad that in 2013 I want to see a probably lousy movie simply because JIm Carrey is in it?  I don't care.  He needs work.

Thank you, @avclub-188934b799f9c866379dd96bc600a688:disqus I needed another person to say that.  And if @avclub-641e167f974d1dd076c0886d17271975:disqus had mentioned changing the radio or eating or doing any of those other things then I would have responded to those things.  As a person who lives in a city where…

I would love to see the Czechs show up, but I would be just as happy if they didn't.  Gilligan and company have made a good habit of not showing every thing they imply or casually mention.  It makes the world they've created feel much more full.  Plus there are already so many threats to the White family's well being…

I'll repeat this theory here, since I already mentioned it elsewhere: I can totally see the series ending much like The Godfather Part III.  Walt survives and eliminates all of his enemies, but loses everyone he loves in the process and dies old and alone and anonymous.  I am one of the few who actually likes The…

I didn't take issue with your claim that this issue pisses people off.  I took issue with your claim that texting while driving is somehow just as safe as driving while paying attention to the road.  Which, I'll repeat in a much less angry and but just as rational way, is simply not true.  There is a reason that…

Well that's the most asinine thing I've heard all day.  If your eyes aren't on the fucking road then you aren't driving safely.  Think about the logic of that dipshit.  I don't usually post comments this hateful but serious-fucking-ly.  You may as well have said it isn't any more dangerous to drive while staring at…

The 39 Steps, Grand Illusion, The Lady Vanishes, M, All of the Great Marx Brothers Movies, Modern Times, Countless films by Yasujiro Ozu, The Rules of the Game, Stagecoach, Young Mr. Lincoln, Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, King Kong, Adventures of Robin Hood, Bringing Up Baby, Captain Blood, City Lights,…

Yeah, it makes sense as something to do, since that part of the floor would likely have at least some urine on it, but I want to believe that the writers at least wanted us to notice that both of them did it.  But I could be wrong

I've been saying for some time that Jesse is going to decide Walt's fate in the end.  At times when Jesse was more devoted to Walt, like most of season 5 part 1, I figured that Walt would eventually be out of options and would beg Jesse to kill him.  Jesse would refuse, and then Walt would confess everything he had…

When Walt puts that towel on the floor in the bathroom I immediately thought of Gus doing the same thing when he poisoned the cartel.  Intentional? Even if not it highlights the differences between Gus and Walt - when GUs was in that position it was because he was taking the upper hand.  Walt gets in that position and…

Agreed.  I've never seen a viewership that is at odds with the obvious intention of the writers and the tone of the show as I have with the fan reaction to Skyler.  I have a friend who said she was being mean to Walt in season 2 (his first time watching it).  I said, "don't you think Walt purposely endangering his…

amazon needs to get their shit together.  I can't wait until monday!!

Not digging that assessment.  Ponyo is one of my favorites.  One thing a lot of people hate about Miyazaki's adaptations is that he tends to turn them into Miyazaki movies.  But since I'm watching them because they're Miyazaki movies and not because I care about Hans Christian Andersen or whoever the hell wrote Howl,…

I kept thinking of others to claim as better but I realized each of them were directed by Takahata.  That said, there needs to be more love for Pom Poko.

I was at a similar showing and you know who were the most annoying and obnoxious people in the room? This group of teenagers who didn't shut up with their jaded-ass irony and cynicism.  One thing that fucking annoys the living shit out of me is when people start talking loudly about how they hated a movie the moment…

You're right - Gilligan and Company could really fuck us over and end this shit in such a way that it would dampen the overall quality of the show.  But I can only think of one possible way that could happen - if the ending lacked the nerve of the rest of the show.  Now consider that the show has NOT ONCE shown a lack…

We're not saying it's the only show that does it.  We're just saying that it does it and it does it well.  A lot of really good shows/movies really wear their influences on their sleeves and do things that other shows did well.  But despite Gilligan's citing many influences like Tarantino and Lynch, there isn't a…

I liked Undertow as well.  It's like Night Of The Hunter directed by Terrence Malick.

I think Gilligan and the writer's decision to leave some mysteries unanswered are what sets this show apart from so many of its contemporaries.  Why did Mike leave the police force back in Philly?  Who the hell was Gus Fring before he became Gus Fring?  Gilligan has mentioned David Lynch's influence and I think that…

At least it's not Cocaine Blues!
