He can probably get dual citizenship, which would be the best of both worlds.

"And yeah, sure it must be weird to see yourself idolized for no particular reason."

I've got good news and bad news for you.

"Bloodsport, the movie that gave Belgian kickboxer and longtime
bit-part player Jean-Claude Van Damme his first and maybe best starring
role."

Thank you! Atwood drives me nuts when she tries to argue that her writing is distinct from the sci-fi ghetto. No, it's not. Just because you got the critics to embrace you doesn't mean you're not writing sci-fi.

I'd have a hard time with that argument as well. Alien is sci-fi, but so is The Thing. It's based on one of the most famous/most successful stories written by one of the earliest figures in the science fiction genre. Campbell was a pivotal writer and editor of science fiction stories and magazines and worked

It's a hilarious film, and I love how in trying to figure out the killer, the heroes go through so many horror tropes. SPOILERS: "It's a ghost! No, wait — it's the crazy redneck! No, wait — it's a mutant monster living in the house! No, wait — it's just some crazy doctor."

This was a nice write-up, but I'll be honest, I had a hard time convincing myself to read past the second sentence when the author claims that Alien is only "barely" a sci-fi movie. Just because it's a horror as well does not mean that Alien isn't science fiction.

So is Ed O'Neill doing Modern Family pro bono at this point? Is it a "I get to make out with Sofia Vergera, you don't need to pay me" sort of thing?

Shouldn't this be labeled Terrible Job, Internet?

One of my favorite scenes from him, and I remember it clearly to this day, was after Michael Moriarty ended a tough case. Schiff puts his hat on, walking to the door, and says something like, "Good work. Take the rest of the week off." Moriarty replies, "It's Friday." Hill responds, "So it is. See you Monday."

Yes, well, Naz's father noted that he only owned a third of the medallion, and his third was 250k in resale.

No, once he took the deal, he'd be sent upstate.

For a high profile murder case like this, I don't think the prosecutor would accept a deal in which the defendant pleaded no contest. The DA would want the defendant to actually acknowledge guilt as a condition of the deal, so he can go back to his constituents and say "This guy was guilty, he committed the murder,

I didn't see it that way, either. I think he was just comparing Naz to the calf. A newborn (clearly out of his element) in prison (the dark crate), who is about to get slaughtered.

I love the cynicism of the ending.
SPOILERS
The bad guys get away with everything, March is convinced the country will switch to electric cars in five years (we don't), and he comments to Healy that "At least you're drinking again" as a bright spot.

Ben Kingsley's character was so much better than that tropey mess ever could have been.

I am not sure I can pinpoint my favorite line in this film.
One of my favorites for sure is when Holly is banging on the trunk of March's car, he opens it, she starts to explain why she's in the trunk, and he just shuts it again, then hands the keys to the valet, who perfectly deadpans, "I can't take your car like

I'm partial to Margin Call, personally.

I think the remaining loyalist Northern Houses join under Sansa with Davos and the wildlings and finally beat Ramsay and Roose.
