'The Kid Stays in the Picture' —- I need this in my life. Air sooner, show!

I didn't know who Kenneth Lonergan was. I saw 'You Can Count On Me' because I liked Laura Linney after Congo (no, seriously). You can imagine what that film did to me.

I wasn't a big fan of it either but damn does the idea of it come up all the time for me. For that, it's hard to ignore it.

No. Wrong. Just so, so wrong.

It is. But 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' is a close second for me. M. Gustave is Wes Anderson's greatest character.

Damnit but yes —- I would loooove to watch 'About A Boy' directed by Michael Mann even if I have no idea how that would actually work (does anyone?).
