Ok, no problem.

Oh for sure. I still think the rape scene is both gratuitous and tonally wrong for the rest of the movie, but otherwise it's brilliant.

Ha! That's awesome. And it would be great if you could interview him RR style here. In addition to being involved in so much TV and film, he seems like such a nice guy.

I somehow never made the connection between Simms and the poet laureate of the West.

I like your whole Lik-M-Aid approach to snacking.

Irons are a poor invention for pressing wrinkles out of clothes, but a great invention for quickly heating food.

Ah yes. DUI vs gut-busting diarrhea, or as it's otherwise known, Drunk Sophie's Choice.

Wish there was a version of Random Roles for people like Brooks who aren't full-on actors but have been involved in so much great stuff. His WTF interview with Maron was fantastic, with lots of good stories about his early TV work, and I'd love to hear more from him.

He's never been a particularly showy actor, which might be why I've liked his work for so long. You're likely right that he's too subtle for the Academy but who cares so long as he keeps getting work. He's clearly got good taste in material.

Everyone on that show is just fantastic, but Louise has always been my favorite character, which is in no small part due to Schaal. She does wonders with every line.

I am reading this on my phone and, as an old person with failing eyesight, I actually thought the director's real last name had just been replaced with "Hack!".

indeed. Noel's review confirms what the trailer showed - that this is a movie with a lot of respect for scale, showing its characters often dwarfed by their environment. That approach demands a big screen.
