You know, it's not terrible. The end stretch is pretty bad—the circus stuff, I mean—but up until then it's good fun. FYEO is another one that's surprisingly fun.

I guess that's what inn trying to say. Even FRWL has that awful, unnecessary, racist gypsy-fight.

Totally fair. It's very unevenly paced as well. I also have a soft spot for YOLT, but it's equally silly. Not sure how anyone can stand to watch Dr. No. It's boring as hell.

I disagree. Why can't we have a direct sequel simply because we handn't had one before? The emotional motivation comes from Casino, but the film itself works on its own.

Yeah fair enough. Good point on Howerton's character!
The first season felt much more heightened. Everyone was a bit broader, but it fit the mythical tone of the story. This season it seems like not everyone is on the same page. The Solversons are really down-to-earth and believable, as are the Blomquists. But the…

I love Skyfall, but I think the whole stretch between Silva being captured at MI6 and the courtroom shoot out is dull and too reminiscent of The Dark Knight. I think the Home Alone bit is awesome, though.

Is this an episode of I Love Films?

0% of Bond films have a good story. Only varying degrees of competency.

The 4th Bond movie in an era is typically a mess. Thunderball, Moonraker, Die Another Day.
If this film is worse than any of those movies, it will have pulled off quite a feat. (Truly don't get how anyone loves Thunderball. One of the most poorly paced films I've seen)

Nope. He tried to kiss her and she pushed him away at the end.

Don't take people's word for it. People are coming around on Quantum. Watch it directly after Casino and you're in for a good time.

Very, very excited for this. I just watched through the entire series, and many of them I hadn't previously seen. Other than From Russia With Love, Goldfinger and Casino Royale, EVERY Bond movie is terribly uneven. I find it somewhat amusing that it's such a universal buzzword for the new movie. I love a great deal of…

I thought the moment between him and his mom at the end was nice, and the donut bit was great, but what do you like about his performance? It looks like he's playing a cartoon character. That face he's making is like something out of Drake & Josh.

Now he's "Man Who Wishes He Could Yell."

Am I just watching the show wrong? Because as much as I love Battlestar, I have found him unwatchable in this show. He has this ridiculous, cartoon expression on his face at all times, like he's making fun of real stroke victims. He looks like he's in an Adam Sandler movie.

I think Plemons is making a choice. He's not just some dumb guy going along with his manipulative wife; both he and Peggy have something disturbing going on under the surface. Watch the detached, expressionless face he has when grinding up the dead body, or cleaning up the garage. Same face he has when working at the…

Sounds like you were circumcised

But that's what I loved about it. You had these brilliant characters in Mr. Wrench and Mr. Numbers, and while they only tangentially related to the plot, they add to the flavor of the show. Stavros' storyline didn't tie into the plot, but it was essential thematically. S1 was more about parables and themes, so I found…

That's probably the case. It's what I most admired about this season when it started. Probably I should just wait and see. I remember thinking Odenkirk's character was just a cartoonish plot contrivance—an annoying way of hindering Molly from making progress too quickly. But then at the end of the season you realize…

That's what Lou mentions in season 1 right? Some horrific event?
