Late period Travolta is the best Travolta. From Paris With Love? Instant schlock classic.

He is definitely the Han Solo regen. Now that Han is dead, I expect Poe to become his spiritual successor. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Falcon end up in his hands at some point.

I think his tantrums actually worked for the character. I look at him as basically a rebellious and angry teenager, rather than a stone cold sith lord.

I think it's what the series needed. Another lame effort on the heels of the prequels would've been very damaging to the brand. They couldn't afford to take risks with this one. Hence why JJ Abrams was a shrewd hire. He might not be a great filmmaker, but you know he can at least deliver a 7/10. I'm not a Rian Johnson…

I liked this season, but there were definitely aspects of it (especially this episode) that felt like a college film project. A bit on-the-nose and obvious at times. I guess the best way I can describe it is uneven. Lots of great moments with some turds sprinkled in. Almost like the rushed work of someone who…

"You know what, I look at you these days, you know what I see? I see a man without a country. Not hard enough for this right here, and maybe, just maybe, not smart enough for them out there."

He's an ornery one. To crib a phrase that I saw elsewhere, Punk could start a fight with his own shadow.

I actually really liked his character. *shrug*

Even though Frank is basically a goon, I still find myself rooting for him. If his wife flips on him after all this, I will be a sad Barney. I hope he goes off and gets his tropical escape. I still half expect to see him in the bottom of a shallow grave next Sunday night. Still, I get the sense that he's Pizzolatto's…

Reminds me of when I moved to Brooklyn and ended up riding around in a car with two sketchy Orthodox Jew landlords who tried to get me and my roommate involved in their super shady real estate business. Dudes were so unscrupulous and yet still wore all the religious garb and everything.

Best performance or best movie? I think The Rock is a talented guy and even Batista was good in Guardians. I think Roddy fit the role well, but he was also fortunate to be in a movie that had a strong director and a very interesting premise. It's a role that a lot of actors could've done well in (though probably not…

You should look up some of the urban legends about Meng. They're pretty great.

Yea, a bit of a stretch, but when you think about every scam out there it makes you realize that there must be people naive enough to fall for it or else nobody would bother trying to con them.

This might sound kind of horrible, but part of the reason why I felt Shayla would not last is because the actress is (IMO) not as pretty or attractive as the usual leading lady on a hit TV show. I think this was great casting because it made her feel more "real" and less privileged, which in turn made her more…

I think one of the things it lacks in comparison to Breaking Bad is the levity/humor. Breaking Bad was very dark and cinematic, but it also had a strong comedic undercurrent that was established early in the series (i.e. Walt's undies in the pilot, the body melting the bath tub in S1, the characters of Badger and…

I had a feeling Shayla and Elliot wouldn't last. I know this show isn't that lazy, but you get the sense that Elliot and Angela have some kind of destiny together.

Yea man. James Cromwell is behind it all. Rolo Tomasi.

I got a LA Confidential "Night Owl" vibe from this episode. In other words, I think the Mexican gang bangers are probably not the "real" people behind the Caspere crime. Most likely some sort of red herring, albeit one that might ultimately be tied back to someone else.

I think directors are overrated and that people have been too critical of this season, but the big action setpiece in this episode didn't have the same impact that last season's crazy "Rust Cohle escapes from Hell on Earth" sequence had. I think the direction this season is lacking a bit of the artistic flourish that…
