I loved the first three seasons of that show so goddamn much. I can remember individual episodes.

I'd disagree slightly, if only because THE EQUALIZER was a film with a sub-Seagal junk screenplay screenplay that was inexplicably shot like a Nicholas Winding Refn film.

HEY PARKER

Speaking of Training Day, that sounds like a David Ayer film.

8 MIle felt like a film from some hungry mid-20's upstart eager to prove himself, not a man in his late 50's/early 60's. The energy in that movie is just fantastic.

Christopher Plummer made for a surprisingly convincing woman in the finale.

Oh nice, good for him!

Sean Maher is gay?

Does the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme play right afterwords?

I forgot to tell you, bomb means Fuck You in Polish.

Stalker was one of the worst things ever made in this and any nearby timelines. I was a huge fanboy of Nikita, but I would eat a lightbulb before I would watch Stalker.

Bedroom Window was pretty good, which surprised me since I'm pretty allergic to a lot of those 80's/90's blatant Hitchcock knockoffs. The whole thing has a nice layer of sleaze and it's probably Guttenberg's best performance, that mo,ment where he goes to his lover and she flat-out refuses to help him in any capacity…

The entire "Rollo Tomasi" concept was a creation of the movie too. It's such a perfectly Ellroy concept that when I actually read the book I was genuinely surprised that it didn't come from the novel.

It's fantastically weird, and probably one of the last genre films I would call truly "cult" in that it seemed to be made with no sense of irony or sarcasm behind it. It's just everything Gans thinks is cool put into one movie.

I remember when there was supposed to be an actual The Hire movie starring Clive Owen, but that fell through.

I thought Season 2 was mostly excellent barring a few cornball setpieces, and Season 3 was an interesting mix of absolutely killer spy drama and brain-melting awfulness.

Wait, he's back? But…how did, he's…what?

Anyone remember that show where Jimmy Smits steps down from being a Supreme Court Justice to open his own "do-gooder" legal practice?

A lot of the Homicide/OZ guys have spent the 2000's doing their absolute best to make you forget why you ever liked them. It's been a sea of utter trash for the whole lot of writers.

RIP The Grinder, truly a show too beautiful and pure for this world.
