oh, it's right there in the clip. Just wish QT had a better comeback.
(Cos, really, it WAS a scandal - which was kinda the point, right?)

Couldn't make it past the first episode but I had one takeaway - hadn't seen Forrest Gump so this was the first time I'd ever seen Gary Sinise, and his charisma was immediate. "Turn off the pumps…"

Love this movie: Keaton in his prime; Duvall's Picasso story; the clipboard; Close in the washroom with Robards; Spalding Grey; and, of course, "New. York. Fucking. City."

yeah, I get Winona in theory, but she didn't quite do it for me. Don't know why - it's all there, shes very pretty but, dunno… the ignition doesn't spark.
But Janeane - well now…

nicely done, sir. *golf clap*

When that wimpy-goatee idiot tells her that she looks like a doily, I knew I was going to hate him forever. And so, Boyhood didn't really work for me.

There's one in Toronto. (Not affiliated with the show - I think.)

Maggie Wheeler was rather attractive, in an Amy Winehouse-sorta way.

I'd disagree, but since the Xerox girl was unbelievably smoking hot, all bets where most certainly off.

That's EXACTLY what I thought the headline meant. Struck me was a Thunderbird 3 fella.

agreed - i really don't know what the beeb have to gain from not selling it… (and it's dead easy to pirate)

oh, nicely done, sir… *golf clap*

that my cannon from now on.

not sure it's great but better than it's rep. The scene where Bond get's drunk on the plane and reveals the name of the cocktail is worth any of the movies plot problems.

Coogan's Neil Kinnock is the best thing he does, but I can't imagine an impersonation of a British 80's opposition politician is going to make the US cut.

nah, don't know too many mumblers, boss - that stuff feels phoney too.
I guess my point - rather inelegantly put, I'll admit - is that the characters don't feel real to me. They feel like characters in a movie - the influences of Coward, Waugh, Allen etc are too obvious and Stilman just doesn't have his own flavour.

Yeah, I think mostly it's just personal preference, of course. (One mans meat etc etc and so on…) I guess I've just been disappointed by his work because its stuff I really should like, but it's never really connected for me.

Actually, I love Oscar Wilde, Noel Coward, and Jane Austen. Perhaps it's the artifice that isn't working for me. Or perhaps it's that the characters (and the movies) feel like second-hand references. Or perhaps it's just that, for witty, clever people, they don't feel particularly witty or clever. Just not my thing, I

eh, never got the love for his movies. Ever actually met anyone who speaks like that? Or ever met anyone who actually IS like that? His characters feel more alien than half the cast of Guardians of the Galaxy.

need to change the scrunchie, though.
