Wow.  This guy really resents the compromises he's had to make in order to direct films in Hollywood.

Yeah, and sometimes an actor works well on television and not on the big screen.

Really?  Have you seen Hugo?  How about Dark Shadows?  She's hopelessly self-conscious in both of those movies.  Whenever she appears on screen, it completely takes me out of the movie.  On TV she's maybe passable, if I'm being generous.

Is it okay now to point out that Chloe Moretz is a terrible actress?  I know she's only a kid, but at some point you have to start learning that you're not good at your chosen profession.

Zero Effect is such an underrated film.  It really does balance out several genres at once, but they all work well together.  Not to knock Kasdan's later work, but I wish he was able to balance out comedy and drama in his other films in the way that he did in Zero Effect.

I never understood exactly why soap operas declined in viewers in the last decade or so. They seem pretty cheap to produce, and the fact that they air new shows almost nonstop would be pretty enticing in the internet age, when people are clamoring for more content. 

That's probably the case with Lindsay, but I got a different vibe from George Michael's teacher.  Of course, it's hard to peg this show politically, since it's more of a send up of TV conventions than a satire.  I do remember getting along with a far right conservative in college (I consider myself liberal) over our…

I always felt like the show started off more conservative, making fun of Lindsay's limousine liberalism and George Michael's teacher's love of Saddam Hussein.  But as the series went on I think it veered to the left.  In a lot of ways it just mimicked America's mood over the course of the three years it was on the…

"How do you shoot Louis C.K. in the back? What if you miss?"

My point, if it wasn't obvious, is that both Scientologists and Randians tend to have the same undying devotion to their progenitor.  In other words, despite Rands's atheism, she has inadvertently formed some sort of religion.

Everyone has done a Charlie Brown parody where the gang was all fucked up.

That's funny, actually, because I once received a similar response after making fun of L Ron Hubbard and Scientology.

This episode always makes me a little misty eyed.  When going through the entire series last year, I actually had to skip it and come back when I was really ready for it.

I'd go so far as to say that the existence of a sequel to Atlas Shrugged actually disproves Ayn Rand's theories.  She believe absolutely, incontrovertibly in the free market and the power of money.  Money becomes an objective measure of the universe.  But since the first film bombed, it became obvious that the…
