I like to think that the writers have him say it in practically every other sentence because they think it's so amusing. It really is delightful, isn't it?

@avclub-6307a12d5c9e2fb5f23518a9a0ee8dd1:disqus Yes, I think you're right. My best friend is a police officer and sometimes refers to her partner, but it's a different partner every few months.

Yes, you're right, Sony Classics is by far the most reliable. Fox Searchight and Focus Features are hit and miss, but I've never seen any listings from IFC or The Weinstein Company.

I assume it will be in NYC on opening day, October 25.

I liked the first season and really thought the first two episodes of this season were the start of something good, but then it all rapidly fell apart. A bunch of the more interesting supporting characters (Eva, Freeman, Morehouse) were sidelined to give Donal Logue more screen time, despite the fact that he appeared…

Neither. I meant The Butler: Based on the Novel "Push" by Sapphire: Electric Boogaloo: A Lee Daniels Joint. I would have thought that was obvious.

I thought the same thing about 76-year-old Vanessa Redgrave playing 23-year-old Alex Pettyfer's mother in The Butler.

I feel completely the opposite. If Mike's secret were never mentioned again, I would be thrilled. The fake-lawyer thing is really too much to take, even on a show as blatantly unrealistic as this one. That aspect of the show's DNA should just be forgotten.

I continue to love Harvey's strange penchant for confronting people in the bathroom.

I always figured that Josh Lucas got the roles that Matthew McConaughey turned down.

I really listened for the extra L, but I couldn't hear it. I should have figured they wouldn't pull it off, though. I know why they don't say "fuck" on basic cable (even though they're technically allowed to), but "fluck" is just dumb.

Did Mike really say "motherfucker" to Omar? He clearly mangled it earlier in the episode ("flucker" or something), but it sounded pretty on the nose during that scene.

I don't know about Newfoundland, but I remember when I watched "Sabrina the Teenage Witch," and even then I noticed that Caroline Rhea's speech was full of "oot"s (although sometimes it sounded more like "oat," depending on how fast she was speaking). She's from Montreal.

It was a little weird that Rachel's father assumed that Mike was joking when he said that his parents died. Maybe I'm just gullible, but if someone I'm meeting for the first time told me that, I'd definitely take it at face value.

Actually, I just remember another point about Parker's shoes: one of the kids staying in the house took them out of Parker's bag and played with them until the heels broke. And then everyone turned on Parker for being "too materialistic" when she has the temerity to get upset about someone else's kid destroying one of…

@LouiseOfHouseBelcher:disqus See, I don't think we were supposed to sympathize with Parker's character. By the time she arrives at the family's house, everyone has already decided that they hate her for such reasons as:

That dinner scene is one of the nastiest, most unpleasant moments I've ever witnessed in a movie, not least because the movie's sympathies obviously lie with the wrong people.

Well, considering this is their second film together, they probably just did the same thing they did last time.

@LurkyMcLurkerson:disqus No exaggeration, "Lore" is the best movie I've seen in at least four years. I'm not expecting it to get Oscar buzz or anything, but I'm so disappointed that it seems to have barely made a ripple, even among the arthouse crowd. Such a brilliant, brilliant movie.

Come on, Brad. Go out a winner.
