Four's perfect with me. It's how long Jeff said he needed to stay at Greendale for so it completes the arc and story perfectly and allows for syndication. Everyone wins (he says, wilfully ignoring any financial arguments Sony or NBC have on their side).

A little bit late to the thread but the original meme came from Darabont's original script for Indy IV being leaked post-Crystal Skull and fanboys jumping up and down about how much better it was (in reality it had a good few moments in it that would have been cringe-worthy on-screen). The Walking Dead events were a…

"Well, I'm sort of a James Bond figures and I have to go to Iraq, to rescue these hostages. And I get there and I rescue them, but they're all women and they're naked because their clothes have rotted off. But I get them into the helicopter, and I'm flying the helicopter, but I can still sneak a look in the mirror and…

He did an interview with Richard Belzer  which went (and pardon for the rubbish formatting, I had to cut and paste it of Wikipedia) "Richard Belzer: I was working with Steve Schirripa recently. We were judging Last Comic Standing for NBC and we were talking about a lot of different things, obviously. And he was saying…

Watching The Sopranos as a binge definitely helps bring out the secondary characters a lot more. Of course I'd seen it before so some of that might have to do with not having to focus as much on the big stuff but my girlfriend - watching it for the first time - also enjoyed the tales of Rosalie, Pussy's wife, Beansie…

@avclub-534b36b22aab256cdb15c38b66ea1a74:disqus , I love the ending and can't wait until we get to that point on the TV Club write-ups (though if you really want to know what everyone thinks just pick one of those comment sections at random - 1 in 3 features a debate on the ending). But I agree that all the focus on…

I re-watched it with my girlfriend over the past few months and the ending stunned her - in a good way. Without the years and years of expectations of how the show might end there was no controversy but there was a lot of excitement and investment due to how much she'd seen the characters go through in so little time.…

I'd be interested to see how long you can wait before you need catharsis. I wouldn't dream of spoiling it for you but I don't think I'd have been able to take the tension - the next episode would have gone on straight away if it could have done.
 
Which is why I'm glad it couldn't. Because I like the idea of choosing…

Agreed about the anxiety. I sped through seasons 1 - 3 of Breaking Bad last year but watching it week to week for season 4 was a sublime experience. The instant gratification of watching the last 15 minutes of 'Crawl Space' followed immediately by the next episode would have been great but having that ending sink in…

I completely agree that being Oscar winners already should have given them even more clout this year. I'm just amazed that the Academy ever recognized them at all. Mind you, they did skip nominating Daft Punk for the TRON: Legacy score last year so I'm not letting them off completely.

Just the original music. Which is why the Academy gets pissy when that score uses existing pieces of music within itself, such as There Will Be Blood, Inception and True Grit. On the one hand I see their point but on the other it takes a lot of skill to weave existing themes into films so effortlessly - the three…

Catch Me if You Can? I think that was just after Road to Perdition.

I thought both of Williams' scores this year were really good, two of his strongest in a long time and I'd be happy if he won it for either. The Artist deserves its nomination due to the importance of the score for the film - it basically holds it together (the same reason why I think WALL-E was robbed in 2008 which,…

Last year there was discussion to pass an ammendment for motion-capture films to be disqualified from the category to stop films like Avatar having justification to try for it. As far as I know it wasn't passed - I'm sure it would have come up at some point - but it certainly shows they're not keen on them. The only…

The only subpar Pixar film released since the award was introduced was Cars and that lost to Happy Feet - which is worse than Cars winning (I love Pixar and liked Cars but Monster House should have won that year). The only other time Pixar have lost was in 2001 when Monsters Inc. lost to Shrek. Spirited Away and…

America, Fuck Yeah?

Like most here I never, ever saw H8R and only know it by it's awesome reputation and awful premise - but damn would an episode of it concentrating on Lucas confronting a full-on angry Star Wars nerd have been must-see TV.

Completely agree. I look forward to these remasters and can't wait to see the quality of them but seeing an old film in a crackly print… It's like the vinyl/CD of film watching. I saw Jaws a few years ago on the big screen and it was an original print. Knocked about, sure, but such a great experience to watch it as it…

Fuck Martha Stewart. Martha's polishing brass on the Titanic, it's all going down, man.

Another male here who loved this episode and was happy enough that no-one else was in the room during the last couple of scenes.
