Bingo, I knew there was something familiar about him!

Did anyone else have a "Walkabout" flashback when that VW appeared in the outback? Then the guy and his car go up in flames, and I was like, someone is a Nicolas Roeg fan, recreating one of cinema's most bizarre opening sequences!

Speaking only for myself, I really fell for this show—such a particular vision and tone, yet very accessible and entertaining. Solid performances, striking cinematography, and a strong selection of songs that I'd otherwise never hear. Best of all, it wasn't afraid to throw in some truly bizarre moments—I mean, a guy…

Hmm, no idea why his run on SNL might be polarizing? Exhibit #1 from February 1996, when Macdonald commented on the brutal murder of the trans man Brandon Teena: "In Nebraska, a man was sentenced for killing a female crossdresser [sic] who had accused him of rape and two of her [sic] friends. Excuse me if this sounds…

Yes to "Murder by Death"! Best line delivery by Maggie Smith (of course) as Dora Charleston:

Oh yeah, this film takes a very sharp turn near the end, though it's not totally unexpected—still, quite a tonal shift. I enjoyed it but realize that people seeing Wiig listed in the cast may be expecting something quite different & be pissed off by what happens. More power to her for taking cinematic risks!

"I'd buy that for a dollar!"

I saw this movie back in May & really enjoyed its vibe. Tasha singled out the scene between Tomlin & Elliott, which I agree is the heart of the movie & shows both actors at their best. Elliott recently spoke to the New York Times about how playing his character in "Grandma" (not his usual type) was "a real catharsis"…

Meh, this episode was kinda flat. Maybe it would've worked if Pee Wee had been more like Pee Wee (there were lots of missed shtick opportunities) or more like Paul Ruebens. With no other guests to shake things up, the comedy vibe never really clicked. Hope they go back to the genius of last week's episode real quick.

Start at the beginning with "The Edible Woman"—brilliant characterizations, smart reading of 60s feminism, and very funny. Someone needs to make a film version of this novel now!

I caught the film in a preview on Tuesday & would give it a solid B: great action scenes & chemistry between Renner and Weisz, but the plot was kinda saggy & hard to follow in spots. Also, the director needlessly brought back too many name actors from the previous Bourne films, often giving them hardly any dialogue…

my big problem with the show's violation of "show don't tell" came early in the episode: we see a grand vista of the Washington Monument, the White House & Congress, with the pointless words "WASHINGTON D.C." plastered in front of it—really?
