I will skip over this episode, which I found mediocre but a step up from the last two, and also put in a good word for Anything Else. It's the most curdled movie Allen has made since the 90s, one which revels is systematically making ugly things we liked in past Allen films (Allen plays an outright psychotic person…

Of course the one actual IMAX screen anywhere close to me is closed while this is playing. Of course. Of fucking course.

TIL Hoyte van Hoytema shot the introductory ad for Dos Equis's new most interesting man in the world. I don't know if this will hold me over until Dunkirk, but I sure hope so.

He actually just ended it, and is currently shooting a heist movie, but not this one. This one is directed by Gary Ross, who Soderbergh at least often does second-unit work for.

Is it too late to cast Lea Seydoux as the Night Fox equivalent in this?

I've realized over the last couple years that, for how much Mike's anti-comedy style amuses (amused?) me, I've grown to much prefer Jay as an actual critic, which means that Mike's id and "I've got storytelling down to a science!" stuff unleashed for 100 minutes is a no-no for me at this point.

I like RedLetterMedia enough that it saddens how little I want to watch this.

Then I think I can handle it.

I've been dragged into what feels like a day-long conversation about supporting Woody Allen, please send help.

Also, the insult comedy between Lenny and Sidney that starts here reminded me of the back-and-forth that dominated Curse of the Jade Scorpion, with Miley having about as much success with it as Helen Hunt did (i.e. not much).

The reprisal of the "I'm forbidding" bit made me viscerally sad in a way not many things ever have. C'mon Woody, don't remind of a much funnier, better-paced project of yours I could be watching instead.

The first four episodes are really tough sailing, on par with the worst moments of Woody's DreamWorks comedies, but the last two are absolutely terrific, near-vintage Woody comedy, so you might as well give it a shot (especially if you're already a completist).

Partially because I don't think he did it and mostly because I actually forgot about that writing that capsule.

You're right, I forgot about Picking Up the Pieces.

This might be the only weekend of my life where I've just watched TV and no movies.

The New York Times has obtained Trump's tax returns, and he hasn't paid income tax in 18 years

My college team flirted with unexpectedly winning their game against Nebraska before the other team scored 21 points in the fourth quarter. Also, I literally had to look that up because that's how few shits I have to give about college football.

He was trying to be Ingmar Bergman in Love and Death and that movie is funny as all fuck.
