The scene in Donny Darko with the tall guy in the creepy rabbit outfit appearing in the middle of a golf course at night made me scared of furries too, as well as golf courses at night.

I work out regularly, and subscribe to the confoundingly small "athletic geek" subculture. I was a small kid and got sick of not being noticed by anyone, so in college I started working out, and it's done wonders for my self-esteem (call it the Teddy Roosevelt Complex). I may be generalizing here, but why are

I hope they lean into the absurdity and come out the other side with a postmodern masterpiece, a la the timeless classic Little Danson Man https://www.youtube.com/wat…

He calms down considerably in the last season, for what it's worth. He never really got over that "random late-series addition" hump for me either though.

Love how Ann was constantly like "why am I dating you?" as if the writers were constantly asking themselves that.

As someone who randomly gets assigned as the butt end of a lot of jokes, I like and relate to Britta as well.

Ditto! For some reason his Britishness ruins it for me. He has such a high-society accent, and yet he thinks the world sucks. What has the world ever done to a well-off white British male to ever earn such scorn? A painful breakup does not warrant you turning into a Nietzsche quoting asshat.

Sucks because Andrea is SOOOO much better in the comics, and they wasted her in the stupidest fricking story in the whole show.

The bending over backwards the showrunners have to do to always prove Rick right is ridiculous. Have him be wrong, just once, and see how much better drama you can get out of that situation.

"Modernity!"

This movie should do the trick for my historically-accurate attire fetish!

To be fair, if there's any period worthy of a bleak color palette, it's World War I.

I kept waiting for the shoe to drop in Wolf of Wall Street, and it never did! Frustrating, although I guess that's part of the message, that the real life wolves of Wall Street get away with everything. The Big Short's a good companion piece to that; offers a better look at the fallout of the BBA slick-haired

Is it worth sticking with? I really liked season one, but season two seemed to be at odds with its desire to tell a good story while keeping all of its most compelling characters in the same location so they could play off each other, when the story kind of dictated that they should move apart.

I was really really hungry while watching it, but was so engrossed by it, I didn't mind; If anything it added to the experience: Why certainly I can understand Leo eating raw buffalo! I would too right now!

Not sure what your comment about what longer runtimes says about the attention span of the moviegoing public means: logic dictates that their attention span must be increasing if they can sit through longer movies, which probably wasn't your point.

#1 on most uncomfortable shows to watch with your mom.

I appreciate both Roger Moore (he's the first Bond I saw, therefore my favorite) and Daniel Craig-era Bond (first one I saw in theatres, and I suspect maybe the best), though I do agree that its ambitions rather outgrew its bounds in Spectre. A lot of it has to do with the amazing, almost too-talented cinematography

I love the shot where him and Carrie Mulligan are standing at the window for what seems to be hours, saying very few words. Perfectly captures the timeless feeling intense romances have.
