An "evil race"? Hey now. I'm Scottish and I typically generate smiles without resort to physical mutilation.

Speaking personally, a hero is someone prepared to stalwartly wade into an Internet culture site's comment section to complain that superlatives are a thing.

In terms of outright new material written the stuff with the parents is far and away more successful than the challenges of living as a professional with eczema.

I don't want to say too much about the original because the remake is sticking pretty closely to it in the overall plotting, but suffice to say that the case involves looking further into Andrea if only to manage how she's perceived in a courtroom, the same way that that's already important with Nas.

The eczema thing in the original is confined to a one-off joke though, because there when he meets the suspect we're trying to get a read on the Stone character's credibility and his appearance is at odds with his professional confidence. Price and Zaillain have already written like seven more references and three…

Kind of weird anecdote about Pete Postlethwaite given he was old-school Labour, but then I guess no-one complains about socialists like other socialists.

I really like John Turturro but I will admit that they seem to have drawn his character more broadly than the UK original, which I'm not so big a fan of.

Disagree. DeNiro checked out iaround 1998-9, any critical acclaim after that is largely residual. Cop Land and Jackie Brown mark his last Method-y performances and Ronin is his last focused performance, from there you're diving headlong into broad comedy and pulpy genre pieces.

As much as there is a bottomless amount to report on how fucked the US prison system is, this is extremely worth reading. As blunt as the OITNB depiction of private prison is, the reality of things like the prisoner with untreated gangrene is sheer nightmare.

You quit watching a foreign language show at the title card out of offence at seeing three Italian words that pretty fucking obviously mean Gomorrah The Series.

Most of what I see on Twitter is positive, bar the running time. Pretty sure you can be in decent company getting booed at Cannes, in any case.

NOT ANY MORE BABY

Well, hold on, if you listened to the show, you'd be up on everything that's sucked. Stuff like, uh, muscle cars suck. Star Wars action figures suck. Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific sucks. CB radios suck. Acupuncture sucks. Creepy Crawlers suck. Rocky Horror sucks. Play-doh sucks. Platform shoes suck. Dorothy Hamill…

I am beginning to understand why KFC signed off on their Killer Joe product placement.

Cowards, homosexuals, Jews - if it were up to me, I'd stand them all up against a wall and shoot a half hour HBO dramedy.

I would really argue that bringing in Cy was always a means of rehabilitating Al, given Cy's also a sinister abusive pimp but at once dandier and more compulsively needy and grasping. Deadwood gives up on Al as villain by the end of episode two, hence Tolliver arrives in episode three.

Hear hear. I for one go into seclusion for eight months every time I hear about two strangers being murdered, simply out of respect.

Nor was the person who wrote the episode.

This is also why big tough street dealers are the most likely of any person to get shot dead on the sidewalk by a kid over something extremely not worth it.

Girls puts you in a unusual position regarding audience sympathy. I think to enjoy the show you have to love to hate them until familiarity breeds semi-endearment, which the show has generally improved on since season 1. I even like Jessa (the English one), at least for how her bluntness and impulsiveness can cut…
