I'm high right now, so Dennis slowly working through his thought process red-eyed and crunching chips made me laugh hysterically of course.

I've read 11. Shit. Looks like I have a project.

Fuck, David Tennant is so good too at making John Smith a really likeable character. Probably the one episode where I ended up despising the doctor at the end.

Billy's line "Life is short and you are hot" is pretty great.

I love that two-parter (it's exciting, funny, creative, etc.) but I remember muttering "Oh cmon…" when you can see the Angels move. It was Moffatt to me missing the point of the Angels, that they're terrifying BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE THEM MOVE.

He was good in Joan of Arcadia (I liked that show-Family Guy was WRONG).

He's a strong musician and he's made some very good pop/soul music. I think that pretty much sums it up.

Justin Timberlake clearly has really good taste in obscure soul: both this and Suit + Tie are sampled from very, very good 70s soul.

I agree with Lester Bangs that James Taylor should be thrown off a cliff and killed.

Yup, I'm okay with this. Most good/great shows last too long and eventually run the characters to the ground, especially sitcoms. Props to FX for running such a strange, surreal tv series at all. It had its ups and downs, but Wood and Gann were always strong performers.

Poor Sean Hayes, discovered I kinda liked him in Parks and Rec and a pretty serious turn on Scrubs.

I'm in. I have no beef with the man; he's almost always the best part when he's featuring with someone else (especially when it's not great material), he's a good actor (The Social Network, the awesome scene with the Killers song from Southland Tales which is the only part of that movie I watched on YouTube), and his

Nope. Bob Benson was a difficult part to play and he nailed it. It'd be only right of him to have a part on a really strong, funny show.

I'm pretty strongly anti-business, I suppose, so yeah, I lost interest in watching the show pretty quickly on seeing the previews. I don't see advertising as a very positive force in the world, and I prefer Mad Men's at least mildly contemptuous gaze on the subject (Stan's classic line "At the end of the day, all

One of the things I love about Deadwood is that the lawman doesn't strictly represent civilization and order, a traditional stance in the Western, but instead a repression of strong desires (romantic, moral, and violent) and a strong tendency to punish pettier sins in the face of far larger ones. In contrast,

I think Branagh can be really over the top, but a lot of his stagings are really, really strong (Claudius noting later that Hamlet is popular with the people is really strengthened when the prince stages

I just finished season 2, and the impression I get is that Bullock is a man desperately hiding his violent urges behind the law because it's the only way to control those impulses. Pretty strong indictment of law enforcement, actually.

Loki made the movie for me, though - when he screams "TELL ME" to Odin, it could be hokey, but Hiddleston makes it heartbreaking and tormented instead. Actually props to Thor as a movie overall - it was so easy for that movie to fail and be stupid, but the fact that it took itself seriously worked. That and Branagh

Whedon also cast Beatrice perfectly with Amy Acker, but who can be very warm but can turn on a dime to extremely chilling ("Kill Claudio").

Overall he has amazing diction and command of language, especially in Dr Who; "dancing off his tongue" is highly accurate. His Hamlet is great too, especially because I prefer an angry, restless Hamlet to a "Melancholy Dane" (Hamlet's lines are too funny to support a constantly brooding character, but then I grew up
