Damn it. I wish I'd never read this. I wish I could unknow it. It's like Coltrane opening for Kenny G; James Brown for Justin Timberlake; Marvin Gaye for Tiny Tim.

Supermarket own brand canned music for pod people.

Now I think of it, you're right.  Ron Howard has produced no work of value in his long and successful career.  I bet he's not as nice a guy as he appears, either.

Richie Cunningham, Parenthood, Apollo 13, Frost/Nixon, Ransom, A Beautiful Mind (well, I enjoyed it), PLUS 4 seasons of Arrested Development - Ron Howard deserves respect from any right-thinking individual, surely.

I live in the UK and therefore have no idea who this Braunohler geezer is but one of his comments in the article succinctly sums up my problem with Hatesong and the whole idea of people hating articles of popular culture: 'I'm angry that our culture is driven by 14-year olds'.  No it isn't.  Teenage and pre-teen…

I haven't heard of Travis for ages, didn't know they were still around.  Can anyone tell me if the lead singer still wears a hat all the time, or has he come to terms with his baldness?  Or has he had some sort of treatment, i.e. a hair transplant?  I'd love to know.

The older I get the more I shift toward thinking Out For Justice as being superior to Marked For Death, but either qualifies as a great b-movie.  They would be better regarded were it not for the fact that most people now, when seeing Steven Seagal, immediately think 'asshole'.

Try and see Random, commissioned and broadcast by C4 in the UK.  It's not perfect, but it is original in that it begins immediately after a murder and examines/observes the ripples of grief and anger that project out from the scene - whereas Frutivale seems to be attempting to make the audience empathise with and be…

Worst offender for me is Arrested Development.  The titles are cheap and nasty and the theme tune is awful - in fact, AD has terrible music throughout.  (I should maybe point out that I have only recently started watching the show for the first time so I hear the theme at least twice a day, every day.)  In other news,…

I thought I'd already made it very clear exactly what I think of you.  What are you doing back here?  Get out!  Go on - OUT!

For a while people thought you were okay.  Thanks to Punch-Drunk and a handful of half-decent/inoffensive comedies you were seen as a minor amusement and attracted much good will.  Now, thanks to a run of utterly terrible and offensive movies - and no work of any value whatsoever - everyone just wishes you would go…

she looks like a racist.

this is way beyond basic shit like sucking satan's cock; this is OW and VV asking satan to fistfuck them.  sans lubricant.  when they haven't had a shit for a week.  have they no shame?

Star Trek II.  I first saw it at a very rare midnight screening in my home town of Hull.  (Northern England, all-caucasian, rough.)  Most of the audience were drunk and rowdy to begin with, cheering through the battles.  But at the end there were tears in the eyes of tough guys.  Before the internet came along to…

it's like we're in a dense forest, and all the trees are dark matter.  we just haven't figured out how to use it.  once we do, we will be able to make anything like the replicators on old-school star trek.  basically, dark matter is like wood.  we just have to invent a dark matter saw and a dark matter lathe and all…

Boyd escorted Raylan to the airport for dramatic purposes.  Same reason you saw him walk away from the scene of the execution without explaining how he subsequently got home.  It might have affected the pace and mood if there had followed a scene of Raylan waiting for a bus.

why did Tim take Colt's sunglasses after shooting him?  as a trophy?

The 'ghost' will be the man we never saw die.  Quarles.

despite the greatness of the episode, you can't help but make note of the faults you found in it.  what a nob.  you should become a film producer.  you'd fit right in.  when something is this good - stop bitching.

I'm certain someone else has expressed this opinion of Noel Murray's review in at least one of the 866 reasonable discussions before this one, but here's my take nonetheless.  Decoy was about as perfect an episode of any series of any kind that exists in the known universe.  Mr Murray, either of us would be incredibly…
