As did Cocteau in Beauty and the Beast and De Palma in Carrie.  It's a neat gimmick, but it's not exactly a sign of genius, unless you think these kids belong in the pantheon: http://latimesblogs.latimes…

Whereas the American version of "15 Million Merits" airs every week on FOX.

I'd love to see a Mythbusters type show that takes scientific and social-scientific theories and puts them to test, showing what kinds of weird real-life phenomena either falsify or bolster them.

Reading this comment directly below one about Robin Wright's character giving someone a handjob made it … interesting.

No, it was actually decently written for its first 2.5 seasons.  Deschanel's beauty certainly helped, though.

Where's HipsterDBag to point out that he could never watch a movie called Little Women because everyone he knows would assume he's a pedophile?

The irrelevance of the "Previously on …" clips has become the series's funniest running joke (and I don't mean that sarcastically).

See the "Galentine's Day" episode of Parks and Recreation.

During Hanna's most personal monologues, Dunham's teleplay makes a point of underlining how self-centered she is and how little she actually cares about Joshua as anything other than a validation machine.  Perhaps your preconception of Hanna as a Mary Sue made you miss the ways in which that was pointedly subverted?

Joshua's face and body language indicated that he wanted her to go, but he explicitly said he wanted her to say.

It's almost as if one person's terrible episode is another person's masterpiece.

False dichotomy alert!

Katharine Hepburn ftw

"What the fuck kind of reasonable dude blames women for being attractive, or actually gets mad about not being masculine?"

Yes, I know.  Laura Fraser plays Lydia, the executive who has that wonderful exchange with Mike (Banks's character) in a Denny's.

And Mara's character were played by Laura Fraser?

Failed Firstenbergs.

According to Easy Riders, Raging Bulls (which, yes, isn't the world's greatest source), Towne's screenplay was unreadable until Polanski and his producer chopped it down to a usable screenplay.

Spoken like a Good German.
