Same, maybe even in my Top Five. I often think back to the conversation when Conrad tells Dr. Berger his mother doesn't love him, and Berger answers something like, "It's more like she doesn't love you enough. Don't blame her for not loving you more than she's able." That's some good wisdom there.

Ah, I hate it when Ordinary People gets dragged in comparisons to these lame contemporary films. The thing is, Ordinary People was actually a solid movie and Timothy Hutton was great in it. He didn't mope or sit around and hug his knees as a shorthand for depression, he played his role with vibrancy and made you…

This is a great list and I agree with almost every entry, except Jane Eyre, because — as excellent as Samantha Morton is as Jane, and as excellent as the screenplay is as an adaptation of the novel, and the direction is as capturing the tone — I just didn't like Ciaran Hinds as Rochester. I know, I KNOW. I've loved…

One of my favorite movies of all time! Every last detail in this film is pitch perfect.

Alias Grace is my favorite Atwood novel, but oddly enough, I think I love it because it's the least "Atwood"-y of them all. All of her flaws are dialed way back and her strengths are at the forefront.

Have you seen him play a side-show barker with a gambling problem in Carnivale? He's one of the many good things in that series.

Heads up, any Lee Pace fans who haven't seen this — see it. It's his first movie role, he plays a transgender woman, and he is amaaaazing.

I would give my left lung for Carnivale season 3! My heart's left ventricle!

Chopin's Prelude in e minor

Will shot Gideon, though.

Same.  He was so refreshingly decent in a show full of morally ambiguous characters.  Even when he fucked up, he was still motivated by doing what he thought was right.  I just…I just loved him, OK?

Fuller says this in another interview: "Instead of Benjamin Raspail [character in The Silence of the Lambs], we did Franklin Froideveaux —
Benjamin Franklin and then Froideveaux is a street that runs parallel to
Raspail in Paris. So we were acknowledging in some way that’s the role
that we were filling in this season,…

Because it doesn't really matter?  I think it was supposed to hint at the idea that Hannibal is a being from the next stage of human evolution (edit: or maybe Harris just thought it was cool), but Mads Mikkelsen can fulfill that implication through his acting (and alien face) without needing prosthetic extra fingers.

Is that show really being developed by Lifetime of all networks?!  ¡Ay Dios mio!

Like M as in Mancy says, Will's nurse murder vision is the only time the show has toed up against that line, but even then, the camera is mostly on Will and focused on his experience (you can even look at the way his shirt is open as an indication that he's the one being sexualized, not the nurse).

The cutest explanation I've seen was that he was turning on his internal ipod.  I'll accept all three explanations!

And then she said, "I feel wounded."

Jesus, that was easily the best episode of the series to date and one of the most intense hours of TV I've seen in ages!  What does it take to get an A grade around here?

They've done that from time to time throughout the series.  I take it as a way to show that they share the lead role (also the way they're positioned each week means neither one is billed first — one name is to the left and is read first, but the other name is placed higher to give it prominence, and they switch off).

Bad Boys is great, and it's also Clancy Brown's film debut.  The director's commentary says that he almost didn't cast Brown because he wasn't threatening enough, too gentle.  He made him audition several times before deciding to cast him, thus narrowly averting a world without Brown as the Kurgan, Captain Hadley,…
