"But they’re crying and it’s dark, which kind of ruins it."

MLTs, where the mutton is nice and lean, and the tomato's so ripe it's perky?

This is an amazingly solid album across the board.  "This is the Last Time" is my personal favorite.

That steak looked DELICIOUS.

I love the vastly different perspectives on the Wachowskis' world-building from Second Renaissance and Detective Story.  If the Matrix universe were ever to be revisited, I'd certainly want fresh eyes on it (and a fresh voice).

Switch and Apoc had the best romance in the trilogy.  "Not like this" kills me every time.  Also, it kills her, I guess.

Cillian Murphy and Ken Watanabe anchor the fuck out of that movie.  Without them, it'd have no heart.

2/3 of a good Miike movie sounds like a must-watch to me.

Glad to see you're continuing with the DCAU.  I can't remember the chronology exactly, but I know these episodes and the Darkseid episodes exponentially improved my opinion of Superman as a character.

This episode really benefited from more focus on particular characters.  The viewpoint-whiplash of some of the earlier episodes was distracting.

I thought the connective tissue in this episode was far stronger than that of the first handful of episodes in the season.

I'm confused about the anti-boobs through-line in the review, which criticizes directorial intent and male gaze, when this is a series — beyond the first season, perhaps — that has graciously shown off all sorts of parts, including this episode (Gendry) and several episodes earlier this season.  That aside, I also…

Neither do I.  I find Sanderson's Wheel of Time continuations to be almost unreadable without severe skimming due to the quality of the writing.  While Jordan's digressions dragged down his work, and his plotting eventually fell into a black hole, the actual quality of the writing itself was passable — I have no…

This is the exact same speech I heard in high school "health" class.

I don't see the resemblance at all.  Ra Ra Riot used to rely far more heavily on a chamber-pop sensibility — almost every song had those soaring strings, which made for some enjoyable tracks but also presented themselves as an emotional crutch.  Now they've gone off the Morning Benders -> POP ETC. deep end.  Vampire…

BANGARANG!  I still like Hook, even if it is terrible :(

You're definitely not a real music-lover unless you listen to everything like how you're supposed to listen to Zaireeka. edit: beaten by 2 seconds!

I'm…excited?

I watched it last night and also enjoyed it a lot.  Tonally it's more akin to Moulin Rouge than anything else in Luhrmann's filmography, but amid the bombast there is a through-current of solid acting and more subtext than most seem to be giving the movie credit for.  Gatsby's monomania is definitely there, as is the…
