I did in fact enjoy "Case de mi Padre" just enough that I will give this a look. 

Yes, for the love of God. 

I don't know what's worse: Hornsby's injury or the fact that Paul W.S. Anderson is making a "Pompeii" movie. 

Kudos to your 10 year old for worrying about Russell Hornsby's well-being.  That didn't even occur to me. 

Seconded on Parks and Rec.  I love it, but I'd rather it go out on a high note (Frankly, this season has felt quite a bit like a "last" season, with Leslie's politically career gradually moving forward, her wedding to Ben, Anne and Chris's baby plans, Tom gradually becoming an adult, etc.etc.)

As an 18-48 year old who does not go out to do adult Friday things, I am pleased that "Grimm" is coming back.

I saw "Garden State", but don't remember those scenes at all.  So I assumed you were referencing some other film as part of an inside joke I wasn't getting.  Then I did some Googling, and it appears both of the things you referenced were in "Garden State".

They gave a fuck when it wasn't their turn.  Not a shit.  Totally different concept. 

That was kind of a nice fake out (or I'm just cynical).  I was sure Zhukov was going to kill his dog to illustrate some crashing point to Elizabeth about getting too attached to things.  Instead, he was telling her that she should do her best to love Phillip. 

I know I've seen him in lots and lots of things, and yet, from the above list, I've only seen "Insomnia" and "Saved!" Let the finger pointing and laughter begin. 

And the face Darrin made…even HE gets it. 

I found that scene both a little scary and a little bit sad for the same reason:  Elizabeth has a "particular set of skills".  She could physically discipline Paige in ways some parents could only dream of.  Or worse.  And for a brief moment, you could sort of see Elizabeth wrestling with her training as a spy and…

I think I'd be slightly scared if I got a Christmas card from Dourif.

They turn into zombie turkeys and eat you.  And then complain that you are a little dry.

In fairness, this isn't exactly Furst's best novel.  Despite this review, I do think I will try to catch this—maybe we'll get better adaptations of better novels in the future if we support this project.

I did, but it's because I knew who Jess Franco was by reputation, and in fact, I've just spent the last thirty minutes or so contemplating which of his movies I should add to my Netflix queue. 

That killed me.  "There were supposed to be tunnels, but in nearly two centuries, nobody's ever found them….Oh, hey, a tunnel."

This. I've never read the Hoffman piece (can't say that I've ever even heard of it until now), and I found the episode pretty entertaining and suitably creepy (but I have a thing about my eyes getting damaged/eaten, so this pushed a button.)

No, they just have Orson Welles telling us what's happening like some sort of dcumentarian. 

I assumed they didn't want to scare away American audiences with subtitles.
