As the child/grandchild/great-grandchild of alcoholics (even fairly mild ones), the mental scars and anxiety that echo through generations via children and childhood tension, worry, shared stories, is really something.

What are the details, if any, that you know of and could share?

That's a phenomenally well stated sentence. The past is terrifying.

Yeah, this seems to be the correct answer. Boiled down: "Hollywood/Directors Guild Politics", which is…pretty weird.

I watched it from the beginning, and this is so, so true. The bad episodes are just absolutely bad in a way that makes no sense. You wouldn't think it would be hard to continue to write episodes about a prison that has a constantly shifting cast of characters but….chinese immigrants, aging pills, and Luke Perry…

There are few shows that went as extremely off the rails as OZ. Didn't it also have a ghost?

The Departed is very, very overrated. It's just not any good. A few of the shocking deaths are interesting, but the tension is really silly. It's very close to a Brian DePalma movie where the tone almost seems like a broad joke on the form (with the rat at the end, jesus christ)

It…..is? How so? Making specific muscles contract or making you super nauseous suddenly?

Isn't that why Sutherland was cast as X? Someone who had a good voice and a clear, professorial presence to do an unbelievable infodump to Costner?

Well,it's just 50%, but it seems like an odd choice. Certainly, their data modelling is pretty precise that people want…well, exactly what you see on Netflix, and it is NOT classic/foreign/high-rated movies. Perhaps there will be a streaming service that does this for Criterion, Janus, etc.

I'll mention this, you know, all the time, but Netflix absolutely does not care about older content. I went to a data conference (as fun as it sounds, gang!) where their chief Data Architect said that they discovered it is MUCH more profitable in the long run to create their own programming than purchase rights to…

Puzzled as the oyster!

Song to the Siren is, wow, maybe my favorite song of all time. It was incredibly hard to find when you're explaining that it was IN Lost Highway, NOT on the soundtrack, but IN that scene where Arquette was naked.

I'd love to hear Diane Ladd compare David Lynch as a director to some old Timey directors. He's obviously magnificent at bringing out real heart and drama, even in scenes that are, uh, completely batshit. I'd just love to hear how he explained the lipstick over her face and the phone call and the vomit stuff to her

No beginning, no middle, no end, just a gross description of gross stuff. You could do the same thing by reading descriptions of industrial accidents, but Palahniuk is somehow lauded by a certain segment for this. The ENTIRE concept is just a grossout scene without even the pretense of a story to hang it on,…

It is ASTONISHING is how myopic it is. At no point does it ever question, or begin to question, that being fully trapped in endless 80s nostalgia is ever anything but a supreme rush of awesomeness.

Pretty gross to comment about womens weight, but we're doing it anyway. She looked terrible in Black Snake Moan. Just unhealthy.

Jesus that's a good point. Well Done.

She really made bad decisioins with her body. Should have listened to Ben Gazzara!

Saville seems almost ludicrously villainous. Absurd outfit? Yes. Raping unconscious girls in hospitals? Yes. Almost certainly a necrophile? Yes.
