Well, one thing to keep in mind is that, unlike Kinoshita's version, which did get reviewed back in February, Imamura's isn't studio-bound and its acting is much more naturalistic. Ken Ogata is particularly good as the son, but everyone acquits themselves well. And when I say it was deserving of the Palme d'Or, I mean…

This show definitely needs more shirtless Ichabod. I was mildly disturbed by the way he seemed to switch to "lieutenant" from "leftenant" halfway through the episode, though. I was really hoping they were going to keep that up.

It's a real gamble any time you buy a used car, though.

Well, having finally seen this, I am prepared to reverse myself and say that this is an absolutely essential — and quite devastating — film. The most gripping film I've seen in a theater since The Loneliest Planet.

They really are the worst.

After being wowed by Out of Sight, The Limey was the film that sealed the deal for me.

They're too baggy. Like they're made for collecting sweat.

Those yellow suits look uncomfortable.

Isn't Jennifer Lawrence the one who refuses to watch black and white movies because they're old and stuff? The revelation that she's a lifelong Dumb and Dumber fan is hardly a surprise.

Two political parties enter, one political party leaves!

I watched the pilot episode of that.

Even if this does go forward, I'm sure ABC will find a way to wriggle out of it.

Hey, don't forget: If we go down, we're taking you with us!

The thing that gets me is when Speaker Boehner accuses President Obama of "grandstanding." That is rich.

In what sense was it a comeback? Not only was it a box office bomb, but it left Soderbergh feeling creatively bankrupt, inspiring him to retreat to Baton Rouge to recharge his batteries.

I've actually had a screener of that for about a decade. Obviously I haven't been in too much of a hurry to watch it.

No, but it is in the New Cult Canon and has a Scenic Route.

Of what? Isn't the government about to shut down or something because neither party is willing to budge on the issue of allowing people to get access to health care?

Needs a dash of Scanners

Would love to see Bob le flambeur get the nod this week.
