He's an asshole but the show AROUND the asshole is really exuberant and joyful in terms of playing with narrative and ideas.

I love Law moving from intimidating, unsettling badass Pope to a needy, pleading little kid with Spencer. It's terrific work.

Hating gay people and excluding them from ordinary life, at this point is pretty fucking morally objectionable.

Same. There are some photographs of Kubrick too, he just liked working in privacy and often being away from directing for years at a time.

Did O'Hara even get much to do in the movie compared to here?

For real, I would have never thought of him (I did really love Law's narration in the movie) but he makes his narration dryly funny and then poignant. He's removed from the story of course but he cares.

There's another Top Secret-style gag in the third episode with movies vs streaming, its pretty great.

I'll also vouch for The Misfits.

I think they're pretty similar and yeah, I agree. All of Wilder's best work feels of and ahead of its time in terms of the libertine sexual politics and acknowledgement of lust as a pretty complicated and everyday feeling, and where something like Double Indemnity totally works in that context, The Seven Year Itch is

Its a dated, boring ass movie. Watching it just reminded me of how fucked up Monroe's life was (even if I'm still like "Jesus that woman is special." every time I see her on screen).

I tried watching The Seven Year Itch pretty recently, and it was surprisingly dated and one-note (and I'm a big Wilder fan). Feel like its a classic movie thats only really famous for one scene - everything else is kind of mediocre.

Also some unpleasant dong.

I always picture Jude Law around 25 when I picture what Dorian Grey would look like.

I've always been a fan - one of the more effortlessly charismatic actors alive. Also a fine Watson even if the movies were silly.

I watched the first two episodes and enjoyed the hell out of it - it indeed is really weird and fun. One of the things it seems to do well so far is to subvert the expectations we've developed from premium drama so I'm not quite sure what will come next.

Angels in America too. He's a great actor consistently in some blah to awful shows ("The monkey was funny damn it!")

So…like the Venture Bros' Hardy Boys characters?

I'll maybe watch an episode but thats disappointing! Love me some Hardy.

Apparently he had Malcolm McLaren on it then and instantly screamed at him: "Where's the fucking money?!" I still need to find a clip of that.

I really believe every time that he's going to attack Wally with a firepoker.
