This is a strange position to hear on a site for film buffs.  Anything that takes the viewer out of the moment ruins the film.

Jesus Christ I want that stereotype to die

Interesting points—but Kirk died in Generations.

Tommy was also 1975.

I live in the Mountain Time Zone, so everything started on time, but the bug was still there.

I counted two references to other CBS shows (the phrase "person of interest" and a "Bazinga!" T-shirt) plus of course the constant bug telling me when The Mentalist was starting.  Also two hung lampshades: The NSA guys mentioning how Lockhart Gardner was all over the map in terms of cases and clients, and the judge…

I think you mean "a simple ChumHum search."

That's true.  No one ever insults a guy by implying he's a virgin or can't get women to sleep with him.

And as Scarlett Johannson.

And that Francisco Franco is still dead.

Every time Muhammad Ali is not on screen, the other characters should be asking, "Where's Ali?"

His farts have the power of kicks!

Eh, her hair's not that red.

I feel like The Stendhal Syndrome isn't getting enough love.  It doesn't have the elements that define "classic Argento" — you actually have to take it seriously — but it's a bold new direction with some almost unbearably intense scenes and performances.  Great Morricone score too.

I also bought the UK version of Sleepless.  It's pretty decent, albeit derivative, and von Sydow is great.  The ending is pretty neat too.

I agree.  Like last week, this one wrapped a lot of good moments around a frankly ridiculous story.  The murderer is a math genius, and she goes to great lengths to put her plan into motion … yet it's a plan that would fall apart if the police did even a single thing to fact-check the video.

It sounds a bit more like the premise of Numb3rs

Ah, Boomtown.  Some kind soul has uploaded all the episodes to YouTube.

Wait a minute.  The argument "adults are influenced by it, just like children are" is a bit different from "adults are influenced by it AS MUCH AS children are."  The former is a good point, but the latter isn't.
