Nothing for me will ever surpass Ray Milland's case of the DTs in The Lost Weekend.  Even the poor video quality in this clip can't soften the awfulness.

An on-the-mark review.  I wish this show had the depth of Mad Men or Breaking Bad or even (in its better episodes) The Walking Dead.  But it doesn't.  Nevertheless, I can enjoy it for what it is: a shoot-em'-up, head-'em-up-and-move-em'-out Western with cowboys and Indians … also former slaves, corrupt politicians,…

Wow.  That barely looks like the same movie.

And I will do likewise because of my love for Surf's Up.

Maybe he'll be part of the big reveal behind Manny Stokes's epiphany in the orthodontist's chair (the one he didn't finish because he got his face blown off).  Because plot-wise, I'm having a hard time understanding how he fits in with anything.

I liked his stories better as movies than as books.  I consider The Hunt for Red October the best submarine thriller of all time, and the movies of Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger are solidly entertaining as well.  So thank you, sir, and may you rest in peace.

The entire Reno Sheriff's Department.

Ever since Manny Stokes got his face shot off, this show has been my
weekly holy-crap-I-can't-believe-I-just-saw-that-on-television experience.  This week was no exception.  I honestly didn't think they would let Gus die.  Damn.

You had me at "Donald E. Westlake's screenplay."

I love how Charlotte is becoming the Walter White of this show.

I love "Louisiana 1927" and Randy Newman, but I'll always love Marcia Ball's version better.  In any case, I don't consider it a rock song.

The first time I heard that song (on Little Steven's Underground Garage), I thought it was the Moody Blues.

"The Great Atomic Power" is the greatest gospel bluegrass song ever written about nuclear destruction.

I'm not sure, but I think this might be the earliest Gunsmoke spoof:

Some good stuff on here.  Of the ones I've seen, I especially love The Bridge and Moone Boy.

I watched the first 3 episodes (which also happened to be the entire first season).  It's like The Office set in the world of UK politics, with a lot fewer characters—none of them likeable—and about a thousand times more caustic.  None of which is necessarily bad; it just wasn't compelling for me.  So unless it gets…

Why a duck?

AMC has been showing Westerns on Saturdays for a while now, beginning early in the morning with The Rifleman and running into the evening.  Their stated reason for moving HOW to Saturday is that it's a better fit thematically with the rest of the day's  programming.  I don't always buy networks' rationales for why…

Must … eat … spaghetti …
