Like most people I don't care about ballet, but I really enjoyed this movie. I guess Robert Altman could make anything interesting, except for O.C. and Stiggs.

This must have been a better than average episode of this show because it's actually got me thinking about the issues it presented. For example: Guys blaming themselves for things. Was it Ray's fault he left Bunchy alone with the priest, knowing what might happen? No, Ray was just a kid. He's basically blaming himself…

When I first saw a preview for this I thought the white-haired guy was Michael Murphy. I don't know if I'm disappointed or relieved that it's someone else. What I'm trying to say is that Michael Murphy is cool and he should be in stuff.

I would be pretty surprised if there weren't. HBO doesn't like to suddenly cancel things anymore; usually we get a good indication a show is going to end before it actually ends. However, it does look like Aaron Sorkin was prepared for the possibility that this would be the last episode when he wrote it.

Until tonight I thought it was "It might have opened the door". Hearing impairment is fun!

I enjoyed Eddie's "Everything is only something." Also, his hyperbolic Nucky endorsement was just about the funniest thing ever.

"…urging the audience to align itself with those who, by not listening to critics, have made shows like Two And A Half Men and Honey Boo Boo into hits"

That song's less than 5 minutes long though, so I wonder if he had it on repeat, and then I wonder if he was just playing all of Superunknown and that song happened to come up during the scene, and then I decide I'm thinking about this too much. How would I know that this could be my fate?

I think this article makes some good points but the title is absolutely insane. It's like there's an intern at The AV Club who doesn't like Mr. Nugent so they changed the title to make him sound like a complete idiot, or maybe he originally wrote the article with a sensible title, then snorted several lines of…

Meryl Streep appears to be turning into Glenn Close.

I don't get why it's so hard to understand (at least for McMac and Todd VanDerWerff) why they don't want people editing pages about themselves. That's bias itself.

I like this one more because it doesn't make me angry at my phone for not working right.

I'm pretty sure Andy Zaltzman called Nancy Pelosi's 5-year-old grandson a cunt. Will this turn into another Quvenzhané Wallis situation? No, probably not.

Instead of a new Thrilling Adventure Hour there was basically an hourlong promo for Eban Schletter's upcoming podcast, where he talked to Ben Acker and Ben Blacker. I was surprised to learn that they were actual people. Are those their real names? If so, when they first met each other, did one or both think, "I hope I…

"You don't put Thomas 'Herc' Carver in the cast just to be Al Capone's brother."
However, if you're Homeland, you do put Ellis Carver in the cast just to have one line and then get killed.

She's in the credits though. It would be funny if they put her in the credits and she didn't appear all season.

It's weird how Jack Huston is British yet he speaks with his American accent in that commercial.

I'm still watching Hell On Wheels even though The AV Club stopped reviewing it. It feels weird to watch a new show and then have nothing to read about it. I eventually gave up on Copper, which is a better show, but somehow I didn't enjoy watching it without an accompanying AV Club article.

The other day I watched the first episode of Wonder Showzen again and was once again blown away by how great it (frequently) was. Then I saw an episode of The Heart She Holler and… well, I didn't find it horrible, I was just underwhelmed. It was like something that was supposed to be bizarrely funny but all the funny…

Ow!
