Everybody talks about a black guy to play him. Why not an Asian American? The kid from The Maze Runner would be good. We don't have any Asian superheroes, only Thor's friend.

Percy Jackson for Logan Lerman

Well yeah, that last line was a bit wrong-headed of me, it sounds a bit more severe than I intended (I meant to say that some people are more cutting than me, I guess), but I can't change it now, it would be disingenuous of me.

I can't understand Dean. What an empty-headed, boring guy. All her boyfriends were shmucks actually. At least she didn't end up with any of them.

For a person that saves her sympathy for real people you seem rather invested in these fictional characters and their lives.

Oh, that's harsh. They're just incurable romantics, I guess.

I get what you are saying, but Patrick is a big boy, a bit naive but he could've said no to Kevin at any point, I'm glad he finally did. I feel bad for him that he got hurt, but that's what happens when you get in bed with a fucked-up cheater. You get treated badly. Kevin can be dangerous for Patrick if he wants to,…

Well thanks, and I'll sure do!

I'm still in Eastern Europe, but I would like to move to the UK at some point, just like you do if I recall correctly. I do have a fascination with that place.

I don't mind at all, I'm from Romania, one of those ex-Communist countries. I was born in '89 though, so luckily I haven't experienced first hand those chilling times.

For my money Angels in America it's the best piece (on every level) of pop-culture made surrounding the AIDS epidemic, miles ahead of The Normal Heart or Dallas Buyers Club. It's a special miniseries for me, as it's the first gay centric movie I've seen and informed me about AIDS and what happened in America. Growing…

I know you dislike Kevin pretty intensely, saying he is this monster but I don't think this is the kind of show with with clear all good/ all evil characters. We don't really know what kind of person he really is like we know with the others. It is a cliche, but it's easy to judge. We see him at the lowest point in…

Well, good for Patrick! He finally grew a spine and some self-respect. But I still felt so sorry for Kevin. It's clear he has feelings for both of them but he's not a very strong, decisive person that can put his foot down and clean up his messes. Many people see him as more deliberate in his attitudes, machiavellian…

Surely you must have seen Angels in America. Did you not like it at all? I really love that miniseries, but I gather it's kind of divisive and the characters are not the nicest people.

I haven't seen QaF UK or US, I remember reading one of your comments that the US version hasn't aged up well. Maybe I'll give UK a shot.

I absolutely adore the McDonagh brothers! I agree with you, In Bruges (I've seen it 4 times already) and Calvary are the best.

These shows just get better and better. I look forward the most to them every week. And yeah, the teacher was really hot and so forward, really knew what he wanted that guy. But so sleazy.

I don't think it's pretentious at all. Pretension suggests a lack of depth and compelling ideas, an emptiness of meaning disguised as something with more value. The Tree of Life does not fit for me in this category, as Noah, Interstellar, Foxcatcher and to some extent Gravity (this one works so much better only as a…

This episode of Banana was 30 minutes of pure perfection. Bittersweet, and not saccharine or clichéd in any way.

That's the only thing he knows how to do, what he always did. Pacino at least started hamming it up in old age.
