Not to mention Lohan looks like a recovering  meth addict, while Liz Taylor was more of a recovering barbituates addict.

Admittedly I walked right into that one…

The only thing that amazes me is that anyone is calling the use of Herrmann's work an adaptation.  There was no adaptation.  They lifted "Song d'Amour" in its entirety.  They can claim all they want that a few notes were turned around, that it was Elmer Bernstein's re-orchestration of the original, but I've seen

Thomas would make a saucy one, that's for sure.

Meredith, I've seen the 2nd series and the Christmas special, and without spoiling anything, let me just say, "Don't worry.  It gets BETTER."

Oh yes, Rise of the Planet of the Apes I rank above the original even.

Jesus Christ how does a film like that get made, with halfway legit actors like Noah Wyle?  Is the director independently wealthy?  Because there was nothing I saw that justified its existence. The editing was awful, timing non-exisitent, the blocking pedestrian, and god dammit someone needs to put tape over the zoom

Holy shit how about Victoria's smile in that last shot.  More terrifying than Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger and Conrad Veidt combined….

Those Kennedy Center awards they give out have got to be the ugliest goddamn medals I've ever seen.  They look like something you'd wear at Kwanzaa circa 1992.  I seriously feel embarrassed for the honorees who have to wear those things the whole bloody night.

There's a key reveal to his backstory, that's practically a throwaway line, and it's easy to miss.  I did only until I saw it again a few weeks ago.

I share the sentiment of another columnist's view on Pete and Pete, that for me the show much less represented where I was at at that point in my life (when the show was on I was pretty much Little Pete's age), as much as it did fantasy about what I wished my life to be.

Wow that lineup sounds fucking awful.  How many goddamn films do we need about angsty, soulful loners who discover love and all of life's possibilities?

I guess what I was getting at was Julia seemed unnecessarily spiteful.  Zoe (at least) I think isn't so much guilty of trying to break the law, but just naive about it.  She's clearly in an extremely vulnerable place, and Julia (to my mind) seemed to be exploiting that, especially with her kiss off line to Zoe before

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if this episode bugged you, you probably won't like every single one that precedes it.

This episode shall go down in history as the one where I officially began hating Julia & Joel. Yes Zoe and Troy are asking for something illegal, but their intent I think was rather understandable under the circumstances.  The deal is rather one sided.  Yes, that's the way the system goes, and we really can't have

Amen.  Granted, the Baby Daddy is an asshole in his own way, as he only seems to step up when there's money in it, but he speaks a fundamental truth.  Just what is Julia and Joel's responsibility beyond what is merely legal and standard operating procedure?  They are the fortunate taking advantage of an unfortunate

This was surely one of the worst offending episodes in terms of music.  Lordy the pre-credits sequence crammed in two full blown indie-crap songs, and then the whole ep was chock a block of more, or that weird soundtrack full of exhalation "ahhh, ahhh ooooohhs," on top of the aforementioned, thoroughly awful use of

I think there can be no greater insult lodged against an audience by its writer than forsaking continuity.  It says disrespect, condescension, haughtiness, that the writer's are so goddamn good, and we, the viewers, will lap it up because we're like trained seals, so they don't have to care about keep characters

I blame Evil Abed and Evil Troy.
