Oh my God. I can't even believe this is a debate.

I wonder if Jimmy introduces Gus to its beguiling blue bottle?

That's the thing - we're only into ep 6. We've still got 12 more to go. For most television shows, 12 episodes is an entire season. I feel pretty assured we will get closer and closer to Twin Peaks and a lucid Coop well before the midway mark.

Let me just address the 'hectoring wives' - and so far, multiple really means two: Janey-E and Sheriff Truman's wife, Doris. I thought that the detail we learned this episode in regards to the Trumans' returning soldier son having killed himself shed an awful lot of light on this woman's "hectoring", which really…

I guess I've never felt the need to take Lynch to task with the lack of people of color in his works because so much of his style is based on old fifties noir films, which were also lacking in faces that were not white. And he's always skewered this idea of a Rockwellian America, peeling back the facade to show us the…

Twin Peaks is filmed in North Bend, WA which is about two hours from Seattle (I've driven up there to visit the Double R Diner and the Great Northern). Plenty of African Americans in Seattle. I played escort to a black author at a signing event once who praised the city for its diversity.

Well, 9-1-1=Lucky Number 7.

Holy shit, what time did this go up this morning? 600 comments already? I'm sure whatever notes I have on the episode have been posted numerously by now, so I'll just say that Emily's review here is gorgeous.

Or maybe Spielberg just binged three seasons worth of Fargo (for at least half those names).

"the guy's face" - nice to see Tom Sizemore getting some work.

"Mr. Hulot's Holiday" is one of Lynch's favorite movies.

Nora and Kevin's final scene in front of the bay windows overlooking the Australian Outback was very reminiscent of Grace telling Kevin Sr the story of her children.

I agree. Kind of robbed it of its poignancy.

Maher was responding to a Republican Senator from Nebraska talking about "working in the fields". His retort wasn't racist, he was drawing attention to the casual and insensitive racism in Sasse's remark. For people to read/hear that and conclude that Maher is the racist just shows how idiotic we've become as a…

I was not a fan of Damon's at the time, but I was of Liman. Identity changed that. Super impressed with his take on an action character and this film is still my favorite of the franchise. I recall several interviews that Damon gave after the film's box office success where he spoke of the way Doug Liman wanted him to…

Whatever they paid for Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, it was worth every penny. I got all tingly, too.

Lee Pace at his most gorgeous.

Aw, jeez, I'm getting old. Of course, it's the Schamus connection causing my confusion. I'm thinking of Good Machine in the 90s, but you're right, it was the naughts that every indie-style movie that was talked about seemed to be produced by FF.

Seeing Ann Dowd and Margo Martindale acting in the same scene would send us all into heaven.

OMG, did Dowd predict all the winners?
