Yeah that's my impression too. Wright is fucking incredible, and he shines over an already well-shiny ensemble in AiA. Whenever I see him in these scientist roles, it just feels awkward to me, watching such a brilliant performer be caged like that.

It's an amazing miniseries that chronicles the race against time for gay mathematicians and geometricians to crack the genetic code of HIV and save the gay community.

As someone else who gets well-earned road rage too, I have to say that's a great idea. You must be some kind of excitable, misunderstood genius!

Worked on Van Jones apparently. Unbelievable.

Seems to me like "I'm not here" is what he whispers in bed to the women working on his films whose beds he sneaks into.

I have to know where Herzog commented on my fave doc of last year.

Yeah. Huge Kubrick and Lynch fan, but I don't think one has to be precious about their work to realize how terrible this video is. I don't see how this is a GJB!.

Eh, not really in this case. What I think about the man himself and what I think about his policies/politics are very different. The cadences of speech in both cases were unmistakably similar.

I gotta say, I just gotta:

I'm with you on MAD MEN, I had a very similar reaction. I watched up to season 4, and then most of the last season since it was such a major TV event. But I thought that the writing was (to some extent) overrated, and that the high brilliance of the actors unduly had to carry that show. It's subtleties just weren't…

Much of the show's psychology that I love comes from Farmiga's (and as the series moves on, Highmore's) performance complexities, which not only drastically improve (to put it lightly), but thoroughly rewrite the original movie's psychology. Full disclosure: I think the original movie is great, but I'm not a huge…

I'd also note that the show does a wonderful job of having its cake and eating it too regarding its time and setting. It's clearly modern day (cell phones, laptops, etc etc), but one of the facets I don't think it gets enough credit for is how "timeless" it feels. It's crazy how they make a show work, where it takes…

Yeah I'd always enjoyed him in BATES MOTEL and whenever he showed up in other places (DARK KNIGHT, etc), but his work in the 4th season blew me away. The article here makes a great point that Farmiga gradually forced everyone to start bringing their A game to what has become one of the most psychologically satisfying…

It's such a nightmare watching those heavily recut Welles movies from that time (Ambersons, Lady From Shanghai, etc). Because as stunning as what we have still is, you can tell where the studio's idiocy cut Welles' Genius. I fucking cried the first time I watched SHANGHAI, in mourning, because of how clear it was that…

*watches those videos in a Starbucks*

K, so, if I may, may I suggest some advice for getting through the James doldrums? I don't know if it'll work for you, but it did for me and a few friends of mine when they finally watched the series.

God I'm starting to obsess about this show to a pathological degree again, and I am absolutely stoked at the idea of Sheryl Lee doing this audio book. So here goes…

It got my hopes too, very "strategic" article title. There's a part of me that gives no shits about the age difference, just because I'd love to see Paulson do justice to the complex inner life of yet another unfairly maligned woman of the 90s.

…as Jim Jones, apparently.

Full all its excesses and enraging of other actors for decades, Method Acting as a school/tactic is worth it for this scene alone, whose posting is obligatory:
