I remember when I saw Four Lions in a packed house, everyone was gasping for breath in the "Is a bear a wookie?" scene.

I think Raging Bull actually has a distancing style, deliberately so. The decision to do black-and-white when nobody used it anymore is a little jarring, and so are the transitions between various points of LaMotta's story. I'm not sure it was the right approach to take, and it feels really dated now even though…

It's not shoddy, it's just stage-y (another word for crappy film direction). I think that Wilson, along with Loesser and Sondheim, probably had some of the best ideas for musical theater songs, and all of them are on display in the movie. It all moves very seamlessly because Wilson was very creative about how he…

Burns: We don't have to be adversaries, Homer. We both want a fair union contract.
Homer: Why is Mr. Burns being so nice to me?
Burns: And if you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.
Homer: Wait a minute. Is he coming onto me?
Burns: I mean, if I should slip something into your pocket, what's the harm?
Homer: Oh my God! …

Over the last few episodes, I think the show has been pushing way too hard for the emotional resolutions. I hope that Rowan's right and this is a set up for just how difficult the meeting with his dad is going to be, because I preferred the more anarchic Wilfred who gave conflicting and confusing lessons instead of…

Did you find the effects a bit cheap in Grosse Pointe Blank? I remember when I watched the movie there was a scene of a gas station blowing up that looked ridiculous.

I forgot two of the backwards slashes. It looked hilarious though.
