I'm a fan of Enemy of the State, imperfect though it may be. It has a lot of fun with its premise, moves at a brisk pace, and gives Gene Hackman one of his better late-career performances. Mostly generic script, but elevated by the cast and direction.

Her performance in Thieves Like Us is committed and heartbreaking, and she was the engine behind the underrated 3 Women. Altman was the only director she worked with in the 1970s, save her small role in Annie Hall and a few TV projects, but they really gave one another some of their best moments.

I agree that was a bad moment for her. Using Lincoln as an example was way off base; it assumed everyone in the audience had seen the movie, and relied too much on a specific part of its story.

Young Adam is worth a look. He has surprisingly good chemistry with Tilda Swinton. Others here have noted The Ghost Writer. He had a nicely sensitive performance in Beginners, although he was upstaged at every turn by Christopher Plummer.

What, exactly, about the leaked Clinton/DNC emails was so shocking?

I saw all his movies at a series of screenings at the Houston Fine Arts Museum, and genuinely enjoyed them. It's a shame that his talent went unnoticed for so long, but I'm glad he got to see a revival of his work before he passed away. Yoyo certainly is one of the best films of its kind.

I watch it the next morning before I head to work. Not great drama, but it puts me in a good mood before I join the rat race

I'm looking forward to this, although I'm worried it won't show up on a screen where I live. My mother designed stained-glass windows for many years, and was often inspired by Hokusai's work.

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but I would like to take the opportunity to say that Jobim's "Wave" is a damn fine album and I'm always happy to see it used as a poster image

I think this whole thing was a hostage situation for that poor actress

You want political reality? Go back and watch the episode titled "The Waldo Moment." It's not the best one, but by God was it prophetic.

My shit's getting too old for this.

"I got a hot date."
"Yeah? Who is she and what did you arrest her for?"

Or Thailand.

Actually, the big shocker here is that Pitt was fooling around with a woman who is… wait for it… 40 YEARS OLD!

Splendor beats all.

I was a good show that both fit and didn't fit the times. It covered topics that other late-night shows only touched on, and wasn't afraid to aggressively take a stance. It tackled racism, sexism, terror, abuse of power, anti-intellectualism, and other ills without flinching.

Loved his late-Brando voice after he was stabbed in the throat with the pen. Fun movie.

Most are probably over 18 by now, so it's all going toward his friend Jim Beam
