Where's Bonan_The_Carnarian who wrote "The Quinn Files" last season? He was hilarious. Right up there with SexyDuckCop from the Hannibal talk-backs (it may even have been the same person, come to think of it). I hope he/she comes back soon.

I read that Skyfall was originally conceived as a remote lodge for retired MI:6 agents, and that Connery would have been there as an unnamed retired agent.

Every time I watch "The Affair" I'm struck by how there is nothing in it that makes it seem remotely worth the trouble of having one. Everyone is so miserable more or less all the time.

Peter Quinn. The very best there is. When you absolutely, positively got to kill every motherfucker in the room, accept no substitutes.

Re-watching the episode a second time, there were a couple of things I was unclear on:
I assume that the "fake escape" wasn't intended to go down the way it did, but what was the original plan? Will certainly didn't look overly surprised, or for that matter concerned, when he climbed out of the ambulance.
What was the…

"No song had more than 20 tracks". I don't understand what that means - aren't a song and a track the same thing?

For my money, the "we've lost control" scene in "28 Weeks Later" still ranks up there as one of the best moments of an outbreak - and its natural consequences - on film.

I thought I was watching found footage of Brett Anderson between writing sessions of "Dog Man Star" when it first started. Right down to the little blouse.

Speaking of awkward interviews, I happened to watch the Letterman episode today where Jerry Seinfeld had Michael Richards live-cam in to apologize for his racist outburst. Man, that was some hard stuff to watch, especially when the audience started laughing at the beginning.

Granted, it's probably because I am British (though they did air the American version there too) but I always far preferred the British version of Gladiators. They ramped the camp up to the max, and there were some truly memorable characters, most obviously Wolf, Saracen, and every teenage boy's fantasy, the…

I re-watched it for the first time in a while the other night, and the ending is very depressing. In fact, I broke up with my girlfriend immediately afterwards, though to be fair I'm not sure how much the movie had to account for that.

I got a strong "Red Dead Redemption" vibe there at the end in the redwoods. There was part of me that wanted Ray to slip into Dead-Eye-Mode, and at least take a few of them out.

I gathered that was what they were going for, but when did they actually get the scars? I don't recall that part.

We've already had the flaming wheelchair scene, so do you think that they're still going to go that way with Freddie?

Wasn't she trying to save him from choking, at least initially?

What's the deal with Hannibal and Will both sporting similar, if not identical, scars on their cheeks? Are we supposed to read something into that?

Was it Will's reflection? I actually thought for a moment that it was Dollarhyde.

He makes a few good points. For Sigourney to gloss over the travesty that was Alien Resurrection was hypocritical, to put it mildly.

I note that Sigourney makes no reference to the masterpiece that was Alien Resurrection.

I am curious as to what they can do with the Red Dragon storyline that will be fresh and innovative, since they've already used up a few of the key moments from the book, i.e. the flaming wheelchair, Hannibal opening up Will, not to mention the fact that Lecter has already been caught.
