Really hoping this doesn't mess up the seemingly can't-miss opportunity of having Cleary from The Knick as a villain. Which means they will.

Although originally, after getting being told his son won't learn his name, Vidal was supposed to say "Vidal is getting upset!".

No, del Toro just uses that phrase to describe a book of fairy tales he owns.

Fact: Pan's Labyrinth is the first Criterion where the phrase "George Costanza wallet" is used by the director in the special features.

Ooh, can you get Mr. Farrell's autograph? I loved him in S.W.A.T.

2046 and Chungking Express were fantastic, Psycho '98 is absolutely fascinating as a portrait of Gus Van Sant and Christopher Doyle, Saturday Night Live was kinda lame, "Dragonchasers" blew me the fuck away, and The Hours was much too mannered.

I have, and I love it too.

Chungking Express: Pure cinematic rapture in every regard.

It's either he starts the next Civil War or he pulls a Budd Dwyer.

THE LOST CITY OF Z is stunning. A gorgeous, thoughtful epic about ego and exploration. A real star turn for Charlie Hunnam too. Wow!

Chuck Lorre is adapting Bonfire of the Vanities as an event miniseries for Amazon.

I haven't seen Bennett in Family Tree or this, but he is absolutely goddamn hysterical in Love and Friendship, and very much not doing a Ricky Gervais impression there.

It's got that Greig Fraser magic.
