I think you need to live in London for a few years to be forever rid of that fetish. The first time you get punched in the face for no reason, see a homeless person playing with himself on the tube while staring unapologetically at someone, and have a 10 minute conversation with a cashier as to why you're giving him…

I'm by no means a huge Schumer fan, but if this is one of the episodes you saw, you saw probably the worst one. This was awful.

And you know this is fiction too, given that Hannibal probably sings the statue's ominous warning from the Commendatore scene in Don Giovanni. :)
Thanks for your input. I love how so many people from different walks of life with various specialties are able to add to this particular message board.

Oh yeah, I was referring specifically to the accents. It sounded more Polish or Central European than Italian. I don't know the language so I can't comment on the grammar or vocabulary.

Not even Anderson's? Well, you would know better than I.

As an Italian viewer, how horrified were you by Mickelson's and Anderson's attempts at Italian? I don't speak Italian though I have studied it in Florence once upon a time, and even I was laughing at how bad those was.

OMG, REALLY?! I'm there. And thank you for guiding me towards this treasure.

Have you ever been in a real physical altercation or seen one? That shit ends quickly.
I will say it was scored perfectly. I don't know anything about the Rossini opera La Gazza Rada, but I'm sure there's some symbolism with the magpie. These producers don't make mistakes in their selection of classical music.

Not entirely sure I buy your argument. He helped her die more peacefully. "Killed" implies something very different.

Townhall is sourcing the New Yorker. Is that sufficiently liberal enough for you to take seriously?
And you're fooling yourself if you believe the two are not equivalent. The only way I'd agree with you is if you claimed that they aren't equivalent because MSNBC is in fact the more insane of the two. Your claim that…

Actually, that sounds amazing. I would watch that show in a heartbeat.
I lived in the UK for 4 years and my absolute favorite trashy reality show was called "Help, my dog is as fat as I am." The show was a ripoff of the Biggest Loser but for overweight people and their overweight dogs. It was amazing.

I believe you! Thanks for the clarification. :)

Are you 100% positive on that? I seem to remember them having evil looks after they left and the hot red headed lady saying something like "we've got runners!" with scary, evil eyes which then cut to all the lights in the town lighting up and the phones ringing.

I'm so confused. If "viva la resistance" is headed by the hot red headed chick and her husband, why'd they turn in Juliet Lewis for trying to run? This makes no sense.

Uh, no. I'm a Democrat and I don't even agree with you there. I'd almost argue MSNBC is even crazier than Fox. In fact, there's a study on this. Don't take my word for it….

Even the highly liberal New Yorker disagrees with you:

Thank god. Not sure if you heard, but MSNBC is making a conscious decision to migrate towards the center as well. I'd be elated if both networks ceased to exist as they're both insane people getting on a soapbox screaming to other equally insane people who nod their heads in approval. But in the absence of them going…

The first few episodes I was intrigued but nowhere close to being sucked in. And now, yeah, you're right. This is pretty dumb shit. But it's not so bad to the point where it's funny. More tedious. If you're going to be bad, go for broke Showgirls style.

Oh man, I feel for you. I couldn't watch any American tv when I lived in London. Or any tv period. For some obscene reason, cable and satellite tv was not available in my flat. I about cried when it finally hit me that this is my new reality.
I had my sister in the States buy a DVR for me as I was back every 2-3 months…

I just saw 21 Grams, and that was AWESOME!!! Is Watts ever not good? I also very much enjoyed The Impossible. Not that I ever questioned whether a tsunami is or is not destructive, but it's hard to imagine how that would play out. Apparently they put a great deal of time, effort, and $$$ into giving us as viewers a…

Ha! I made the same Low Winter Sun comparison a few hours ago. Right? The tone is all dark and the show checks all the boxes a prestige drama is supposed to check, but it forgot during this box checking process that it ALSO has to be interesting.
