I do need to, because I love what I know from him. I've seen parts of 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' but I really love 'The Glass Menagerie', and I've never even seen it performed, I've just read it. It's so sad though, in a way that hits me where I live.

That's true, The Days of Wine and Roses is heartbreaking and Katherine Hepburn is never not good (though she'll never be a favorite the way Bette is). The only one I know nothing about is Geraldine Paige, and I'm sure it sounds ignorant, but just the name Sweet Bird of Youth sounds terrible and dated. I laughed when I

Ha, I really like that movie! I watched it primarily for Baryshnikov, because I'm a sucker for ballet, dance movies, and Baryshnikov, in no order. Bancroft is good in everything I've seen her in, and I remember being very upset when she died too young. The only thing that took me out of that movie was near the end

Very interesting comment, seriously. I read your earlier comment too so I know you're "Gen X" age, and I've said it before but will say it again, this is why I love the AV Club comments, esp. for period shows (The Americans, etc.) because the age range of people here ensures I will always get an interesting history

Joan/Jessica's Oscars dress was so great, but that silver powder in her hair was mostly stupid and made her look like she was graying. Also, was that a big silvery shrimp on her necklace? It looked liked it. But I think being so OTT and matchy-matchy was appropriate for its era, and the dress plus silver makeup plus

So great. That's why this is ironic to me: So the show seems to tell us that Crawford is more of a movie star vs. Davis being an actress, and while I don't buy that Crawford was some kind of acting slouch, history seems to bear out the fact that Davis is probably one of the all-time greats, while Crawford is really

I'm very glad I know the story about Joan Crawford's terrible childhood and early life (was she ever not used) because, man, without it, it would be very hard to have any sympathy for the seemingly pettiest bitch out there. All I could think was, 'Mommie Dearest was real, she's terrible!' But I do feel sorry for her,

I never knew any of these stories, and not the story behind the 1963 Best Actress winners, I just knew that Anne Bancroft won for Annie Sullivan. But she was really good in that movie! So does anyone else think that Anne actually did deserve to win in that movie or was Bette Davis actually robbed? I think Bette's a

Fucking brutal. But like, it could be no other way. And Forrest thoroughly and willfully made his own bed till the end, but Jesus, I wouldn't wish what's to become of him on my worst enemy. I felt physically hurt by the ending of this show, wow. It was a virtuoso performance. And now we have this perfect little series

I would love it if there are more than 3 episodes, but have just been happy that we got more Review this year. I only got to watch this ep. now, but man- Forest is a lost cause. I don't know if there's any way to salvage him as a human, or if there's anything left to save. This show is so good and it always takes you

I read that it's already been confirmed for Season 3 for Ch. 4 and will air in the UK the end of this year, so probably next year in the US, if AMC is still partnering to pick it up. If not, well, I watched most of this season online anyway, so we'll be able to still see it.

Wow, thanks! That's literally the only mention of it that I can see. I thought it was a chain because Aderholt had said they opened a new one like there were multiple ones, and that article confirmed it- it looks like it must have been a local, D.C. chain. Probably not for too long since there's not much trace of it

Like Forrest, I also didn't know that the lizards would eat each other, so I didn't grasp the significance of Grant's smile until afterwards.

I think you're exactly right.

I forgot- except not poor Grant! Maybe I'm alone in this, but I really don't feel that bad for Grant, even though Forrest did a terrible, permanent thing to him. Does everyone remember what a mercenary, soul-sucking manipulator Grant was? He used Forrest's mental issues to keep Forrest from ever turning a review down,

I am very, very sad this will be ending so soon. Already, right from the gate this season, I was laughing hysterically (the blurred-out diarrhea, "He number 2-ed!"), and then once again truly felt sad for this pitiful man (when he was crying under his desk, "My only friend!) He didn't do anything this episode that

My hair is naturally curly but it's actually just medium thick and it can fool people. I've had people touch my hair and say they expected their hand to disappear but it didn't. It's the natural volume, I think. It looks like more hair when it's curly isn't necessarily. Whereas my sister has thick/coarse curly and

I tried to look up that restaurant that Aderholt recommended to Stan "Bread Oven", but got nothing quickly. Was that an actual chain restaurant in the 80's? Or a D.C. area thing, if anyone knows.

Uh, the mail robot was convicted of treason and summarily executed.

That's what I was afraid of. I was like, let's hope they have a better grasp of appropriate parent-child boundaries than that. Turns out they do! But I'm not sure if their actual technique would be that effective, personally. They just better make sure they don't permanently damage their relationship with Paige,
