GB16 was a slapstick comedy film, the originals were low level horror films with scattered dry humor

In several months late to say I caught this too — as well as Diana saying that she hated hunting. Between that, “Duch”, the sly smile at the end of the previous episode... it’s definitely a layered portrayal of Diana.

What a truly terrible book. I was stunned. Takes an amazing premise, and executed it in the weirdest, most off-putting way possible.

Wow. I kinda hope this is what happens now.

AND he directed “O”, a high-school retelling of Othello with Josh Hartnett as Iago!

“The counter-argument, though—as our own A.A. Dowd eloquently argued in his write-up of the film at TIFF—is that removing the stranger details of Nowak’s actual, real-life actions doesn’t make their version of her story more respectful; it just makes it more dull.”

I went to one of the first screenings of THE BLAIR WITCH project at the Angelika Film Center, and this trailer played before it, which is the most Late 90s sentence ever uttered.

Same set where he killed Bill Hader for doing T-Mobile commercials right after leaving SNL. “I mean, this guy’s cashing checks from the fourth largest mobile provider in the nation! And, look, I respect Bill, because Sprint was coming after him hard, but he just held out for that ‘Fuck, you, T-Mobile’ money!”

It keeps topping itself and then the audience really WANTED to applaud the flamethrower but barely maintained propriety...but we really wanted to.

Just finished Thomas Harris’s CARI MORA, which was my first Thomas Harris book. Evocative setting, rich characters, and a fun hook with absolutely no plot. Don’t regret reading it, but it’s like a beautiful piece of furniture that somebody forgot to assemble.

For me, nothing beats the three episodes at the end of The Sopranos 5th season: The Test Dream, Long Term Parking, and All Due Respect. The entirety of the series’s ambition, humor, and violence in just 3 episodes.

According to Brian Koppelman on Twitter, it’s just an unfortunate coincidence.

I used to work in a children’s library, and the Nancy Drew books had dedicated reasons. And the books are constantly being refreshed/reissued and if memory serves, a few of them were adapted into graphic novels. Whoever controls that IP has done a really great job keeping the brand alive and out there.

Can’t remember what sparked it, but I had a hankering to watch LA CONFIDENTIAL Friday night, which led to a double feature of that and CHINATOWN. Two movies that are nearly perfect. LA CONFIDENTIAL holds up especially well, even IF they entire first half of the movie has ADR’d lines of exposition in every nook and…

This is not only my favorite episode of Frasier, but one of my favorite sitcom episodes ever.

“Whiskey Charlie” is a really great title for a spy procedural on a network. How could they have missed that?

True story: when I worked in a liquor store, one day a customer came in and said to me, “Hey, what beer are those ‘Most Interesting Man In The World’ commercials for?” I told him Dos Equiis. He asked how I liked it; I told him they were, you know, fine, not great. He walked away from me and picked up a few six-packs.…

I’m sure the filmmakers don’t appreciate you suggesting that they’re stealing the premise of NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM when they’re also clearly stealing the premise of the 1992 John Ritter vehicle STAY TUNED.

It’s been a few years since I’ve read it, but Kondo’s book expressly suggests not using the “When was the last time I used this” rubric, because if you like it, and like the thought of it in the house, who cares when you’ll use it?
