Blue vs. Millennium
Don't be so hard on yourself, Scott. I hate to argue with Tasha and her gateway entry on Anime, but I really don't think "Perfect Blue" is the best entry point for Satoshi Kon. It's much creepier and more intense than his other movies (the lead girl gets gang-raped at one point for cryin' out…

"Paranoia Agent" really is magnificent. It's beautifully animated, it's got a wicked sense of humor but it is also quite moving at times and the whole thing is an extended Lynchian mindfuck. Imagine if "Twin Peaks" was only thirteen episodes long, animated and actually made some kind of sense at the end and you'll…

Elloise Argh
I feel like I should have liked this episode a lot more than I did and I think it was Elloise that put me off. I really dislike her and all of her smug overbearing destiny crap she kept dumping on Daniel. I didn't really notice it until tonight, but man, I really don't want to see her on the show…

What if the bomb does go off at the end of this season and sets everything back to normal and then the entirety of season 6 just shows everyone going on with their lives as normal, like nothing ever happened?

So did Abrams have the entire story arc for the show in his mind from the beginning or did he just get the ball rolling and then let the other writers decide how it would end?

Doesn't Faraday explain at the end of the episode that _all_ people are variables because they have free choice? If that's true then Desmond can't be his constant (unless he's a robot). But that leaves the question… if people are variables then what are the constants?

Immaculate - Not as amazing as the secret to everything revolving around Frogurt.

I'm pretty sure that's the primary motivation that fuels the entire entertainment industry. Politics, too.

I'll go ahead and be the voice of dissent and say that Bette Davis was sexy as hell. Especially in "All About Eve". She may not have been classically beautiful and by the time she got to "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" she had not aged well at all, but for quite a while she was actually very attractive. To me,…

TuxMonkey - I was thinking the same thing. Does _everything_ have to be released in Blu-Ray? It won't be more faithful to the original because it wasn't recorded or broadcast in high definition and you'll just end up seeing a lot of flaws that were never going to be seen in it's original format.

She Puts the Temp in Temptress
I probably shouldn't think that's as funny as I do, and yet… here we are.

Everybody knows that Junior High kids prefer movies about sexual and racial politics in the workplace. When I went to see "In the Company of Men" the theater was full of giggling middle-schoolers.

I thought it was about choke-fucking hot Japanese girls on a conference table.

The sweetness of Topher's relationship with Sierra in this episode definitely made me like him a little more.

red wine
Mellie had the best line of the week, again. "Red wine makes my teeth purple."

Right? Why doesn't he just wear leg warmers and listen to Kajagoogoo.

Murder She Wrote?
I used to enjoy watching "Murder She Wrote" with my family when I was a kid, but this show can do better. If they had just given Margaret some more emotion. Maybe examine how she would feel about being dead and knowing she was going to have to die again soon beyond just "Wow. It's so weird to be…

Yeah, I thought the Topher subplot was kinda stupid until I found out that he does it every year on his birthday and then I thought it was actually touching. I just wish Topher didn't act like such an annoying doofus all the time.

The glory-hole is a sacred trust, Jorge. A trust you have clearly violated. Shame on you. Shame.

I told my girlfriend I wanted a little pussy and she said, "So do I. Mine's as big as a house."
