I still think that the secret MVP of Casino is the chef who's confronted by Ace Rothstein about the blueberry muffins. His reaction and his absolute despondency and his face and his line delivery are all perfect in his 3-4 seconds of screen time.

Goddammit, I wish I'd seen John Wick before the films lists were due. It is just straight fire and ownage and rainbows and butterflies and lollipops and guns and cars and guns. And stylish, hot vengeance.

Probably not, but "the Wildlings ate my dog" might.

Wait, you don't remember the huge joint party we threw? You and Abe still owe us for the keg deposit!

I love what he's been doing on LWT (longer form pieces on stories that mostly fall under the radar, as opposed to Stewart's typical "Looks like those clowns in Congress did it again. What a bunch of clowns" routine). But when Oliver took over TDS that summer of 2013, when Stewart was directing Rosewater, he brought an…

Got a text from my mom (of all people) a couple hours ago that J-Stew was leaving The Daily Show. Thought it was a hoax because she'd heard it from Bill O'Reilly (of all people). Finally just read confirmation after coming home from dinner and excessive amounts of drinks with friends I haven't seen in a while.

This is exactly why I can never respect Kanye.

If I may, I'd like to turn down this cacophony symphony of Odenkirk quotes with an understated classic:

"I….am King Shit OF FUCK MOUNTAIN!! WHY WOULD YOU FUCK WITH ME?!?" - Vince Gilligan, Breaking Bad

I was supremely disappointed by that "YOU. WILL. ATONE!" quote that was in all the trailers. I mean, come on. Could we not get some "SATAN, I DAMN THEE! YOU GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKIN SHIT-EATING COCKSUCKIN SON OF A B! CAN I GET A FUCKIN' A?!?"

True, but I'm totally on board with whatever Odenkirk's involved with. I just wish that Saul included a lot more Mr. Show-type yelling.

Actually, the cold open wasn't ominous at all, but was full of regret and was brilliantly shot and technically spoke of a dark past. But I'm glad that the Breaking Bad visual scheme was carried over (even though it wasn't shot by Michael Slovis), and I'm kind of on board now. When the show was announced, I was pretty…

No, he——

Hey, can I ask you something I've always wanted to ask the real Hitler?

It's a wonderful platform!

Yeah but I think he was only affected by his student's death insomuch as Fletcher had hanged his hopes on finding his own Charlie Parker. But on the other hand, I think that final scene goes a long way in redeeming him, not as a human being necessarily, but because he'd finally given Andrew the respect that was so…

Although I believe (if I'm remembering correctly), we only find out later through the lawyer that the student killed himself. When Fletch breaks the news to the class though, he tells them that he died in a car crash (which becomes sort of ironic later). If that's not a sign of sociopathy (absolving himself of any…

DO IT. Doitdoitdoit.

Exactly. I think Fletcher is a legit psychopath, but he recognizes the greatness in Andrew and puts him through all that torture to make him even greater. His methods may be unsound, but the end kinda justifies the means.
