Oooh Hiroshima mon amour. I just bought the Criterion blu-ray on sale recently. We watched it in one of my film classes and it was incredibly haunting. It is interesting to think about in terms of how you remember things and the function of memory.

I hope you watch the film adaption after you finish the play. I haven't yet read the play but I wish that I did before we watched it in one of my film classes last semester. It is haunting to watch, a lot of my classmates felt hated it because it was essentially 4 people yelling at each other for 2 hours.

While I am really excited for the Golden Globes I am mad that The Good Wife had to return this week. I am interested to see what happens with the recent Eli revelation.

Film:
Moon: Sam Rockwell delivers as an astronaut maintaining a facility on the Moon, drilling for an alternative fuel source called helium-3. I have been meaning to watch for awhile and I regret not watching it earlier. It twists and turns, tackles issues I never would have dreamed of regarding cloning and unlimited…

I had to look up Ladder 49 to make sure it was the movie I was thinking it was. I grew up an hour away from Baltimore and one of the priests at one of local churches is in the film, as an extra playing a priest. It was a big deal when that film came out. I hadn't thought about this in years, thanks for the weird 3AM…

I would be completely okay with either Larson or Ronan winning at this point. It will be interesting to see what happens at the Globes/SAGs. I also like Brooklyn a little more than Room for various reasons.

+ Screener season is upon us. A bunch of movies leaked this week including Carol, The Revenant, Room, and Brooklyn.

Well A.A. Dowd saying The End of the Tour is like a Richard Linklater film is a disgrace. Just because you have a film with two people talking doesn't make it like anything written by Linklater or the Before trilogy.

Well midnight showings don't really exist anymore. Midnight showing now start at 7PM.

Exactly the two shows I was hoping to find on this list. I love Catastrophe but I know that S2 has aired in the UK but I think I am going to wait until it comes to Amazon Prime but we shall see.

A promo for S3 of Luther came out at the end of November. No Ruth Wilson though. https://www.youtube.com/wat…

"- The entire Connecticut sequence in Mistress America, ft. Karen."
I thought that was the moment when the film went off the rails. I absolutely hated the third act of the film.

I really want to see Brooklyn again because of little moments like this, especially how it mirrors Eilis' first journey to America.

Love the sequence of songs from Next to Normal that includes I'm Alive and Make Up Your Mind/Catch Me I'm Falling. There is so much passion in each of the songs.

That scene from Phoenix. Everyone needs to go watch that film right now. It was recently added to Netflix. Go go go!

I watched End of the Tour a couple weeks ago, only having read an essay or two from DFW. I have the exact same feelings as you regarding both Jason Segal and Jessie Eisenberg's performances. I found both of their performances not super transformative. It was forcing these two actors down my throat and a narrative that…

I was going to comment the exact same thing. I remember when the one closed where I used to live. I thought all of the stores closed.

I commented somewhere on the A.V. Club that I bough Saga Vol. 1 off of Amazon semi-recently but I have only gotten like 10 pages into it. I have no read a lot of comics/graphic novels and this was on sale from Amazon for $5 so I will definitely give it a try. I want to like it.

Uzo Aduba actually started on Broadway. She appeared in a bunch of plays and the revival of Godspell. She has a beautiful voice, which OITNB doesn't really have the ability to use.

Tina Fey recently said on Graham Norton that she choose that role because it is opposite of her normal schtick. I am not a huge fan of her acting/as a person in general. I can't wait to see it however for Amy Poehler and being written by Paula Pell.
