See, I thought the Caffertegg (ha!) stuff was the only plotline that worked this week, because it was the only one that didn't turn out to be schmaltzy and predictable.  I like that Amber recognized the pattern she was falling into and broke it off, whereas I wouldn't be surprised if the stuff with the kids believing…

Them not telling Haddie seemed like such a human thing.  I could definitely imagine something like that happening in a real-life cancer situation, even if it is a shitty thing to do.  If they don't address her reaction to being kept in the dark, it will have been a huge failure.

This show's built up a lot of goodwill over the past few months, so I wasn't sure if anyone was going to justifiably sprinkle rat poison on that cheese sandwich.  Way to be the first to jump on the cynicism grenade.  I salute you.

He's admittedly great at the funny/douchey parts, but he can't sell the crying in the park.  It took me out of what was the emotional bottom of the movie.

Killing Them Softly - Assassination of Jesse James is my second favorite film of the last 15 or so years, so me disliking this movie was pretty much impossible.  Saw it on Thursday evening in an empty theater.  I loved all the actors, especially Scoot McNairy and Max Casella in a small role. Gandolfini is disgusting,…

I've argued with people about how Mr. Potter was in favor of sensible lending practices while George Bailey was all about subprime mortgages.  Then Potter steals the envelope of cash and makes it impossible to stick up for him, the jerk.

So has Dennis already killed someone, or several people, and is mentally constructing his world to justify those acts, or is he creating a world in which he can go on a killing spree?  I'm thinking it's option A, based on the presence of his tools from the last season, but I'm open to other interpretations.

Filmspotting had a great review of it a few months ago.  One of the hosts said something really interesting about the comparision between it and Dogtooth, but I can't remember anything more specific.  Those guys are great.
