Has Nancy ever been punished for her actions? I know she went to prison for three years but that seems like a small price to pay for all the shit she's put her family through.

I can't believe I used to idolize this hack. When I was a sophomore in high school I read Rebel Without a Crew and it was really inspiring and fueled my desire to pursue filmmaking. Then he started making shitty movies that made me realize he'd been making shitty movies from the start.

I've been waiting for Round 2 of Soderbergh vs. Dobbs for years. Maybe we'll get lucky with Haywire?

Good call. I seem to remember a scene in Underneath that looks like it was shot through a green gel. Very similar to the stylized use of color in Traffic.

I mean "worst" in a relative sense. I enjoy aspects of all the films listed with the exception of Bubble. I fucking hate Bubble. I haven't seen Schizopolis in years and I'll agree that King of the Hill is underrated (by me).

Best and worst Soderbergh…
(Best)
1. The Limey
2. The Informant!
3. Traffic
4. Out of Sight
5. Ocean's Eleven
6. Kafka
7. Solaris
8. sex, lies, and videotape
9. Ocean's Twelve
10. Ocean's Thirteen

Underneath is by no means a great film but I think it's worth watching if you're interested in the trajectory of Soderbergh's career. It was one of his early attempts to make a more commercial film (compared to Kafka and Sex, Lies and Videotape) and while it underwhelms on a narrative level in terms of technique it's…

One by U2
The song is the third track on Achtung Baby, arguably U2's best album and the one that reinvented the band's sound. It has been covered by a number of diverse artists including Johnny Cash, Mary J. Blige, Joe Cocker, R.E.M. and Pearl Jam.

Sticking with One.

I love The Joshua Tree but I think the band will mostly be remembered for Achtung Baby.

He HAS a new record coming out.

I love Mike Viola as well. Used to play the shit out of Falling Into Place back in 1999/2000. Apparently he had a new record, Electro De Perfecto, coming out in the next few months.

This episode was pretty terrible. I don't give a fuck about Nancy anymore, I'm not sold on the return of Heylia (seems lazy) and the character development is either overly contrived or just plain boring. It's time for me to stop watching this show.

I feel like The Shins were always a Mercer solo project. He wrote all the songs and the trajectory of the band was definitely under his control.

The Portman Effect
The best and worst thing that ever happened to The Shins was Natalie Portman. She introduced them to the mainstream but her declaration that the band's music would "change your life" (coupled will the vitriolic hatred of Garden State) forever guarantees that having a conversation about The Shins…

The SURVIVING victims, I mean.

I always thought that was a brilliant way to visualize the conflicting descriptions of the killer. Given Fincher's attention to detail, I wouldn't be surprised if he cast each of the killers based on the victim's recollections.

@Leaky: nice fake.

Throughout the series Walt has made decisions based on necessity as well as the desire for self-preservation. But once he realized he had an aptitude for being a criminal it got a lot more complicated. He definitely tries to justify many of his actions and clings to the notion that he has his back against the wall.…

I think there's a significant amount of ego involved in Walt's decision making process. He gets off on the reputation Heisenberg has earned and takes obvious pride in both the quality of his meth and his natural ability to navigate the same waters as master criminals like Gustavo Fring. I suspect he also takes…
