Closer he gets to leading man status, closer we get to a Bert Macklin movie though… I think I know some writers for it who could now be available too.

::still not around the boulder::

They have King's Quest. Great job internet.

Meh, I'll take the quiet life, a handshake of carbon monoxide, no alarms and no surprises. No alarms and nooooooo surprises please.

I had that thought too! Fives!

I don't think they do much digital work in "Call the Midwife" as the sets are pretty stark (it's set in the slums of London and a convent) but I'm definitely not an expert.

The car chase/shoot-out in the woods is perfection and you know it!

Did you see the cover of Entertainment Weekly for Parks & Rec?

And Michael Mann!!! Yayyyy.

The family ortenzia had a Lost-binge-Christmas — Jack Shepard's character is just sooo great. Matthew Fox deserves fine things in life for his work there.

Yeah or never giving us a Bert Cooper centric episode…

Soap opera doesn't seem right because it doesn't go for those big dramatic extremes and craziness. I believe Weiner is no different than Todd Haynes or Wes Anderson, directors who use style and aesthetic to create theme and to immerse the viewer.

Not these days though. "Call the Midwife", "Endeavour", "Ripper Street" are all beautifully shot and set-up. Plus I love "Black Mirror"'s subtle take on the future.

You had me at "Big Trouble in Little China," going to check that now.. thanks.

I thought both were good but I wanted wayyyyy more Logan. .

Anytime someone asks what it's like to pull an all-nighter in a corporate environment (my world) I tell them it's 'Margin Call' but boring. It was sooo spot on.

Pamplemousse!

It should be a show about James Gordon solving messed up crimes, noir style, that's what I thought it was going to be. Apart from Ben MacKenzie, Donal Logue and everything Penguin, that show hurts my Gotham in the comics-loving soul.

I was happy 'Black Mirror' was finally mentioned somewhere. High five RL Stine!
