Not much coming out of Cannes this year has really caught my interest. Two Lovers and a Bear (hokey title aside) caught my eye, though. Tatiana Maslany + a talking polar bear + the director of War Witch is more than enough to put my ass in the seat.

The Pusher trilogy is still my favourite of his, with II and III arguably even more impressive for happening (and being as good as they are) more or less by accident.

Baskin Robbins always finds out, bro.

That was actually funny, and a deliberate joke.

So… Academy Award Winner Sean Penn's 'role' in this movie pretty much required him to sit in a booth and snooze loudly for a couple hours? Hell, I could probably do that.

For a moment there I was thrilled they had gotten the real Obama to pop up on the show. It 100% won't happen, but I'd love to actually see that. I mean, Broad City landed Clinton, and God knows how many stints his wife has done….

We are fsociety. NOW TAKE YO PANTIES OOOOFFFFFF!!!

Haven't tried it yet. Will have to get back to you.

Guilty pleasure with no guilt. That's the best way I can describe it. It's essentially a popcorn show, but a gourmet popcorn show made on it's own terms.

Comic book series, you say? Never heard of it before, but I might check it out.

Sounds like pulpy fun. So long as we get Jackie Earle Haley fucking a woman-shaped pork chop, I'm in.

I've always been struck by the Inspector's efficiency, not least in the face of the supernatural. It's hard to find a cop half as competent in most shows set in modern day, let alone Victorian times. It would probably have taken Sherlock Holmes forever to buy into this supernatural-occult stuff. Rusk's first instinct…

Clare also got back from the Arctic pretty quick. I'm glad the season is eschewing most narrative fat and getting straight to business (while still finding time for those lovely period detail-heavy detours we love so much) but it seems a few characters got a hold of Littlefinger's Magic Teleportation Machine from Game…

I could totally read all that…..but I won't.

I just wanna hear about the Nice Guys.

Ouch. Foster the director really can't catch a break.

Their best ever joke is probably in the man of steel trailer: "Super Dad says show off your powers to inspire humanity. Ordinary Dad says hide your powers and let innocent people die. Watch him honour them both as he shows off his powers…..AND let's innocent people die.

I was wondering where these had gone….

It's actually pretty specific. It's very outsized and wacky and pulpy, but also pretty slow and deliberate. It's neither pulp affecting prestige or prestige affecting pulp, which I guess makes it an anomaly to some.

And I thought this show had already pulled off the impossible by making the beaten, dead horse that is Victorian London so fresh and fascinating and juicy and alive. But MY GOD. The scenes in the West are fucking breathtaking. The Old West can now comfortably be added to the many locations beaten into the ground by…
