I'm not sure what people think of it today, but I know at the time it was nominated for Best Picture. The picture isn't entirely without merit (I like William Hurt's role), but it's pretty shitty.

I have to imagine that's who the joke was about. No doubt because of Code of Honor.

That's the question isn't it? It's a daring thing to kill of your show's number two character who, judging by the reactions I've seen around the internet, was probably  as or more popular than the lead. Thematically it makes sense: Jimmy's a tragic figure, utterly lost and unmoored from any type of proper existance.…

I figured we'd get a taste of Richard Harrow going on a vengence fueled spree in this episode (he killed enough people, just not in revenge), but I suppose the writers have bigger plans. I wouldn't be surprised if he's doing any number of things, from serving  as Gillian's bodyguard and watching over Tommy, attempting…

Royal's right about Eli: there's no way he's going to cross his brother again, at least not in a legal setting. Manny seems to have a code of honor (which includes shooting a defenseless weeping woman in the head, but I digress) as one, one in which I doubt testifyiing to a jury would be a part of.

That's something I'm curious about as well. The interview Alan Sepinwald did with Terence Winter alludes to the fact that the decision to ice Darmody was made mid-season, but he says that it was a logical decision following the script. It sure doesn't look like Pitt has much else going on-he's in pre-production for a…

He could, but I really wonder how much good it would do him. He's been convicted of one murder, or at least manslaughter, and besides his word, I'm not sure what type of proof he could offer against Eli.

I thought it started looking grim when I watched the preview for next week and did some reading here on the comment section. Jimmy was one of my favorite characters (probably second to Richard) on the show and I'll definitely miss him, but the logic for his removal was sound. I still figured that Eli would get bumped…

The big difference between the two is that while this movie will fade into the IMDB lists of its stars, The Big Chill will continue to somehow be considered a good film when, at least I think, it's one of the most vapid, self-indulgent treatments of Baby Boomer delusion ever committed to the screen.

I blame the Lannisters.

I imagine not, but having the NFL's showcase game on a Sunday night makes more sense then on a Monday. Plus, Sunday Night gets Flex scheduling which means they can get better games from earlier in the day  on Sunday night (although not always; CBS wanted to hold onto Denver vs. New England next week).

I'm in the same boat. Fantastic show, Leslie running for office is a natural next step for her character. The entire Parks Department getting behind her is charming, but really stretching the limits of credulity. I think if this was a lesser show it would bother me more, but I'm willing to overlook some things when it…

I honestly don't understand this. The book wasn't all that great (and the controversy is twenty yeras old). The Film is amazing, but only eleven years have gone by. What do they hope to accomplish? Are they mad because Bateman isn't shown canibalizing a hooker, or putting a starved rat where it doesn't belong? It…

"Wait. I don't think I've made myself clear. Give me all the tusks and all the teenaged orphans that you have."

I don't see Jimmy blaming Nucky for Angela's death. Murdering women isn't exactly Nucky's bag. Killing their husbands, sure.

Yeah, the more I turn it over in my mind the more likely it appears that Mr. Darmody will be making an exit. I still think its a shame if it happens, since I really enjoy the character. At this rate they're setting up for a wholesale removal of most of the supporting cast and a very different playing field. My fear is…

Nucky's on the death list solely to illustrate the end of the spectrum. Since he's a semi-historical character (granted it's all fiction) there's a .0001 chance that they could bump him off. Don't get me wrong, I'm not thinking this is going the way of a recent popular HBO program's shocking character elimination, but…

It's one of my favorite albums of all time, but I don't necessarily know if it should be considered the best of the decade.

POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD

I don't remember the significance of the shoes, but it was a great escape. For some reason I thought there would be men out there to catch him. It's only after a while I realized that in 1921 the Feds didn't bring a lot of backup.
