I would've watched Hannibal a lot sooner than this if I had seen that Korean promo before now.

While I didn't gush over it like some, one of the very strong elements of Skyfall was how restrained the final act was.  As much as it was (sadly) derivative of Nolan's Batman, it stepped back from being as largely destructive and focused (somewhat) on the characters, grounding the action more effectively.

Wow, that would be the best.

"Pathetic little fat man…"

I think he's an asshole, but the combined work the guy has put out (hell, just the podcasts/radio shows alone) more than makes up for it.

7 seasons?  That seems like… overkill.

Was it worse than the Companion Cube?

I disliked The Raid.  I was expecting great things after the first thirty minutes, but then it just devolved into standard schlock.

Surprised there hasn't been any mention of this.  In my opinion definitely the funniest sequence of the new season.

And didn't it end up airing on PBS?  What a boondoggle.  Probably why Romney wanted to axe it.

Mass Effect 2 is a really fun game, and one of the prime examples about why video games (and sci-fi in general) should go for simpler stories with more grounded stakes.

One thing that I don't see talked about very often but that I kind of love: how Ned's plot in A Game of Thrones is basically a straight noir in a fantasy setting.  If you think about it for a second, pretty much everything makes sense in that context.

Really, I've been waiting for this series to get all self-referential.

I really don't get how someone can argue The Beach Boys over The Beatles.  Yeah, subjectivity and all that, but ultimately I don't think it comes close by any metric.

The verdict is in: it's all about bad wigs and bald heads.

Seriously, just read the synopsis:

He isn't even the best worst.  He's just an annoyance.

I think it's all about class struggle.  The series is deeply rooted in communist iconography, and is best described as a continuation of the principles of Soviet filmmaking of the 1970s.

I've been rewatching bits and pieces of the first episode, and there are some really interesting little character elements and things that foreshadow future knowledge.  I've only seen five episodes so I'm probably missing more.

Oh, god, the direction is always super tense.  It's really sublime.  There are all these little weird things in the town that just aren't right, and these long establishing shots just bring this feeling to the surface.
