I enjoyed it a lot, but it felt a little… I dunno. Not unfinished so much as defiant. Like Chase was going "you thought The Sopranos' ending was oblique?! Well get a load of THIS!". But in terms of subject matter you couldn't really hit much more of a sweet spot for me, and I thought the performances and a lot of the…

Yeah, Vondas was in a few episodes, generally yelling his head off and being surprisingly short. But it was business, always business, so it's all good.

I think the thing with a "classic" is, by definition it can't be a classic until a certain amount of time has passed, however long that may be. However, out of all "modern cinema" (let's say the past 10 years), I can't think of any film that's as close to being deemed a classic as There Will Be Blood. It's like Rock…

I feel you're burying the lede here: motherfuckers be waking up dead?!

Call me a devil may care loose cannon with no respect for the prescribed rules and a dangerous yet charismatic and oh-so-irresistible demeanour if you must, but for my money, P.T. Anderson is a better director than Ridley. Don't get me wrong, I love Alien and Bladerunner (and Matchstick Men), but shit and goddamn can…

And then didn't immediately remove it when it became clear that it was inappropriate!

Why does it have to be zany?!

Yeah, that's gutting too. And his cameo in season 5? Too cold.

I always wanted to write some super perceptive essay about the concept of Earned Endings, with reference to Bubbles vs Warwick Davis in Life's Too Short. Bubs' finale is the motherfucking How To on earning endings as far as I'm concerned, because the amount they manage to convey with such a short scene is staggering.…

Yeah. I feel this may be an unpopular opinion but I always felt the guy who plays Michael was the weakest of the child actors (if you must know, Namond-Randy-Dukie-Michael), but that scene is fucking haunting. He really puts over the idea that he genuinely does not remember that moment. Great scene, and great episode.…

Yeah, that's a gut punch. His final moments in the montage are right near Bubbles', aren't they? Bubs' final scene is in my view the most uplifting, and most importantly EARNED bit of happiness I've ever seen, and contrasted with Dukie's completely unfair outcome, it's one of the most powerful chunks of the final…

As an English person, I didn't know who that dude was, and even without that background info, it was the best joke. I don't normally like to interrupt the flow of my TV by rewinding and rewatching, but I had to for that one. Maybe the funniest Parks joke since Jerry was sitting with those nuns in the debate episode.

It's funny that he wishes he was "a little bit taller", but then immediately changes that to wishing he was "like, six foot nine". Which is presumably a LOT taller.

I just looked this dude up. From my hometown!

I'd echo those complaints, but to add some conjecture, he just seems leerily vile. I think he's the type who'd hound a girl incessantly trying to get with her, ignore rejection after rejection, and then finally give in before telling his mates how much of a stuck up C word she is and so forth. I've seen interviews in…

James Corden still clinging onto a career. He's a decent enough actor but boy does he seem like a vile human being.

So is Spader this woman's dad or what? As a UK resident I will probably never hear about this show again but if someone could just confirm that for me, that would be cool.

Fuck yeah. This is maybe my favourite ever episode. It covered such a wide berth of tones - gloomy, wintery drama of sad Walt in his cabin, tense prison-escape shit with Jesse, horror movie business with Todd's two house calls, gangsters-hanging-out stuff with the video tape. There were a lot of pieces put together…

Ross Gellar doesn't.

Comedy-wise, we're in a bit of a gulch at the moment. Since The Thick Of It ended, there's been nothing too impressive. Stewart Lee has his show but it's only on sporadically.
