Please don't spoil my illusion that Olyphant has never been in anything with a terrible script.

That Lord Love a Duck clip…wow

I think my favorite part of this movie was the expression on her face when they play that song over the PA system at the football field.

Statham not being a huge star, considering how ridiculously gorgeous he is, is basically BECAUSE he doesn't fuck around with romantic comedies and kids movies, or any straight drama to speak of. He's not exhibiting alot of crossover potential and therefore he's getting shunted into this weird "release this in early…

And I think there are plenty of good movies that spend alot of time inside the characters head, but whoever makes these movies never thinks to do that with Jane because they flip through the book and think it's like an Austen and the conflict is all misunderstood letters and class warfare.

Please figure it out, filmmakers
Jane Eyre is basically unadaptable, unless you can figure out how to spend the entire movie inside her head.

First paragraph
Traditionally I respond well to all of those cliches.

That's weird
Rifftrax just did Birdemic and they're riffing Highlander next.

The greatness of Love Actually, for me, is not really about the requited romantic love, although I don't hate any of those people either. I love it because of Liam Neeson and his son, and for Bill Nighy and his manager Joe…ugliest man in the world, who turns out to be the fucking love of his life.

Been Done
It was the first 20 minutes of Miracle of 34 th street, and that's all I really need.

Right! Christopher Guest does mockumentaries. Paranormal Activity, Blair Witch, those are thrillers with a gimmick.

Two things
a) There was a fantastic Clive Owen interview in Esquire that featured a similar horse erection problem

Fair point The UMD, I may be doing that thing where I assume that the writer agrees with the character.

He is a bit of a doormat.

I'm wondering if Animaniacs would hold up. It was the smartest writing I had ever heard…at 10. But I'm now worried it was just wall to wall pop culture references (but before everyone else did that) and "Same thing we do everynight, Pinky.Try to take over the word"

Whoa, I got a "cool story, bro." And I can't spell! Yikes. But really, no one else found this movie whiny? No one?!

Flaws?
It's a nice change to see a male protagonist on a cable series who's fundamentally good, but I'm beginning to think Lights has no flaws.

Thought so…

I'm weird about this show
I'm watching it consistently because it's on when I'm home and I don't hate it. I'm finding it pleasant and soothing while I'm washing the dishes. Who turns to an FX show to be soothed?!

I have never felt a bigger disconnect from public opinion than I do right now
About this whole year. I loved 95% of this years Oscar telecast (Dogtooth, Exit Through the Gift Shop, and Burton winning design awards over Inception), I enjoyed every movie I watched this summer, I would have been happy if any of the Best…
