Except she knows how he feels about Daniel and her. He's made that clear for quite some time now, most notably the night before. Telling Teddy that she knew would obviously tip him off that she'd been spending time with Daniel again. Why would she think he'd be anything other than angry? I'd say that makes her either

I (and those watching with me) found it terribly annoying. I sometimes feel like this show tries a little too hard when it comes to music; they kind of hit you over the head with it a lot.

I've often thought that he would be better off (albeit not financially) making short films. He can write incredible stand-alone scenes, but I generally find the movies as a whole to be a let down.

Fair points. By the end, I found said rant to be pretty over-the-top and not really believable. It certainly pushes her away, though; you're right about that. I don't love the plot development, but if that's where they want to take it, I would've preferred for it to have been less, I dunno, obvious. "Maybe he'll kill

By your reading, it's Teddy's jerkiness that has driven his wife into Daniel's arms - as if they weren't willing participants in whatever it is they're doing (it's still not clear). I simply don't buy that and think it belies any sense of moral agency that the characters seemed to have. I also think that's

I thought the "kill you" line was so completely over the top, regardless of his tears. I put that on the writing, though. They've been pretty evenhanded about not making Teddy a villain, but having him say that really tips the scales in a way I simply didn't find believable. Teddy can certainly be mean and hurtful,

"…but all of his troubles are stemming from the fact that, while everyone else in the family was being charitable and generous towards Daniel on his release, Teddy was being insensitive and
unwelcoming"

I found him pretty insufferable in the Marvel movies. Saw a couple of his other performances, but they made no impression. Hopefully he'd be "better" in a better role.

I think 4 would've been improved if they'd just focused on the guy from Avatar's storyline. It was much more interesting than whatever was going on with John Connor (I can't even remember). Either way, I'll take 3. The chase scene with the crane is one of the best car chases I've ever seen and the ending is really

Pierre Escargot always cracked me up.

I thought the same thing. I haven't actively listened to country music in years, but recently heard quite a bit on the radio. I was struck by how much of it seemed to be the same song simply sung by different guys (as seen in the linked video) and how much those songs seemed to treat women as nothing more than props

Would all of the white midgets in the world be fighting against all the black midgets in the world?…That would make a good film.

I do know a Belgium joke. What's Belgium famous for? Chocolates and child abuse, and they only invented the chocolates to get to the kids.

Personally, I don't love to hate him. I kind of hate that I don't love him more; his movies begin with such promise for me. Discussions with a friend of mine about Inception kind of ruined the movie for him ("the more we talk, the less I like this movie," he said). I stood by my critiques, but I felt a little badly

Man, United 93 was a great, devastating film. Just thinking about the ending makes me well up a little.

Thank you, JP and Ryan.

I went with unimaginative because the premise generally begins at such an interesting place, but it doesn't really feel to me like he does enough with it. Sloppy was probably not a great choice of words; I was trying to convey some of confusion I felt was presented by a number of his scenes.

Take it or leave it. I don't have the capabilities to do anything like that so I thought I would share it. My bigger issue with that scene is why Nolan decided to introduce a new, anonymous character to be the audience's point of contact throughout it.
