"I'm All Out of Love" in Animal Kingdom. Something about that moment of Ben Mendelson plotting to the strains of his easy-listening song made it ominous and wonderful.

Yep, I grew up in an Irish-Catholic-American household. My father played Irish folk songs at full blast on St. Patrick's Day. But, the reason Danny Boy is on my playlist now is because of Miller's Crossing.

They missed my favorite: Russkies. The children take their new Soviet friend around town to learn about America, which was basically eating fries, visiting a mall, and dancing on a pier.

So much of this was angry dancing. Why was dancing the main way of expressing anger in Reagan's America?

I get why everyone wants to talk about the Berlin Olympics but I'd really like to hear about the 1948 games in London (while England was still under rationing and rebuilding from the war. Athletes ate whale meat as sustenance to prep for the games) or the 1968 games in Mexico City (the first Olympics in a "Developing…

Watching in America currently: I know Nadiya is going to win and I don't have an issue with that (I love her blooming self-confidence in her own skills) but part of me is still cheering for Tamal.

There's part of the GBBO score that reminds me of the music played in 90s sitcoms when a character was about to explain the lessons they learned as a result of that week's conflict. It's very soothing.

I enjoyed Nia Vardalos and Ian Gomez as hosts. They weren't Mel and Sue but they had the same spirit of kindness that kept the show's tone intact.

I didn't know about the loud swearing but it makes perfect sense and I love it. Sue and Mel are the best.

Oh man, I can't wait to learn what the Chelsea Hotel was like back in the early 2000's.

While watching McKinnon during the fight scene at the end my first thought was "why didn't we have this when I was a kid?" It's nice to finally have some kick ass female characters on screen (felt similarly about Agent Carter and to a lesser extend Rey in Star Wars).

I will always associate that song with Three Men and a Little Lady.

Reading James Joyce's Dubliners. I've been surprised by the depth that is in each of the short stories (vignettes?).

I have stupidly high hopes for this film.

Same. Really enjoyed it and would willingly watch it again a couple of times. The call backs were nice and I liked them playing with the hate that the film received. The new characters were well done and I enjoyed their interactions. The new weapons and fight scenes were a step up from the original in a nice way as…

*Finished the Preludes and Nocturnes collection of The Sandman.

Damn it, CW, no half measures! Just add Barrowman to all your shows. He and Rogelio can get into a dance-off on Jane the Virgin, he can be Blaine's world-wide supplier on iZombie, etc. Dream big, CW.

Brown Betty is how I know the show was amazing. Fox, on a Glee success high, made all their shows do a musical episode on the same week. That Fringe took the network demand and made something as unique but still tied into the ongoing story as Brown Betty was tells you how talented that whole cast, crew, writers, and…

Definitely season 4 for Supernatural.

My favorite part of the series finale was that they brought back the idea of the white tulip. So good.
