Interesting fact: Excluding the Reality-Competition Series category, I only counted 20 nominations for ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX combined. Is this an all-time low?

You mean the 3.7 out of 10 on the IMDb is accurate? Or too high?

Well, he needs someone to yell at.

He looks like Hitchcock's corpse was eaten by a blobfish.

Surnames are rarely so pun-ready.

I agree. Whatever you think of her views or her past role at Fox, this kind of shit is wrong, no matter who is doing it or where they are.

O'Reilly hates him too, for whatever that's worth.

They do so much for us, it's only fair that we at least make them feel more comfortable.

My biggest worry (at least at the moment) is that North Korea government will accidentally set off one of its nukes and make it (or worse, them) blow up in their own backyard. China and South Korea would absorb a lot of the fallout, and the long-term effects would be unimaginable.

Thanks. I always sucked at the original Super Mario Bros., so my Mario would have to settle.

The nesting doll-like imagery of that poem is reflected in movies like Through the Olive Trees and <close-up< i="">, for sure.

His storytelling was superb. I see something new in Close-Up every time I watch it. So many angles in so little space.

I don't know if Through the Olive Trees is available on US DVD right now, but see it if you can. It takes some of the same ideas as Truffaut's Day for Night and does it one better, smoothly telling a story-within-a-story, and a surprisingly touching one at that. He had a very graceful sense of humor that I worry will…

I used to watch my dad's old VHS of these serials when I was very young, and I remember thing the EXACT SAME THING about Lois and her hat. I wondered if she could pull deadly vegetables out of the ground faster than Superman.

I read Night in my early teens and never forgot it. It is an essential book. His novels also are quite good, especially The Accident. You can read through a lot of his published material in a little more than a week and get a new perspective on the world.

There was always a tiny cluster of cells in my brain that was hoping he would come back with something solid, smart and well-made. He had a tenancy toward excess, for sure, but his kind of ambition is almost non-existent in Hollywood today.

The first eight episodes of the season were fascinating and frustrating in equal measure, because they were pure build-up. I respect the showrunners for not caving in to the demands of some fans to, say, see a major character killed in every episode, or to deliberately confirm or refute fan theories in unambiguous…

The showrunners hate flashbacks, though. (Bran's visions being as exception.)

It would be more interesting to have the humans vs. Walkers conflict early on, and see how it forces enemies into forming alliances. After it's over, everyone's stance will have shifted. It's less predictable, more dramatic that way.

Americans forget that "bloody" is something of a curse word in Britain; it used to be much more shocking. When Leslie Howard and Anthony Asquith's version of Pygmalion came out in 1938, Wendy Hiller's line, "Not bloody likely!" was considered quite vulgar.
