Saw Nightcrawler for Halloween, and Birdman last week. Enjoyed them both considerably. Nightcrawler was fascinating because there's no character arc at all—just a slow revelation of what a psychopath he is. I know I have moments where I feel like I'm thinking like a machine, trying to just get what I want out of a

Really liked Troll Hunter. Super dry Scandinavian humor in a horror doc parody that still gets you very engaged for the win!

He was very very good in 42, although the movie itself was mostly just okay.

But . . . Hulu? I get it for some hard to obtain shows, but this ep will be on Hulu in a week or less.

"'Pop' what? 'POP"' WHAT? What is he trying to say?!"

Catching up on New Girl and Walking Dead—a perfect pair of opposites, so I succumb to neither silliness nor darkness.

I came here for Breaking Bad jokes/puns/references, and am now sad that I didn't get any, and to tired to make any myself. Haha, Odenkirk played Saul Goodman?

*Shirley nice voice* Oh, oh noo.
*Shirley tough voice* This show had better not get dumb. (Again.)

Looks like PTA does Rockford Files, more or less. Much more exuberant than his last few. (I really liked Hard Eight, The Master was okay.) Anywho, pretty fun looking.

Perhaps you've already answered your own question.

Minority Report is a great movie, but Farrell had hardly anything to do in it. He was very good in In Bruges though, although I'm less clear on my reaction to that movie as a whole.

Watched television live for the first time since Community last year to catch this.

That was my guess. I would not be averse. More Dance is more Dance.

Definitely will be checking this out. Glad to hear a good-ish report. That's enough for me. I was just queasy that the first word might be that it was awful; it seemed like a show that could go either way, and I was burned bad by Agents of S.H.I…. whatever.

Saw "Jet Li's 'Hero'" for the first time, and was entertained/awed throughout. The use of music and color throughout, the choreography, the minimalist yet emotional performances—all top notch. Yet I have nagging doubts about its message, which (SPOILER WARNING) ends up being pretty pro-imperialist, because unity would

Dang. Based just off the actors (no muddying it down with a bad script or a strained premise), I want to see all those movies. Maybe that IS how the producers do it, at least for these generic comedies; instead of franchise pre-awareness, it's talent pre-awareness. Kind of reminds me of something Ebert use to muse on

The first "what have" instantly forced me to read the rest of the article in a (lousy, I assume) Cockney accent.

Yeah. I put subtitles on pretty fast. Worked well.

It's like a very British, small village version of Breaking Bad, if it was told from Hank's point of view, and if Hank were an angry middle-aged British grandmother, and there was little to no meth involved. Okay, fine, but it gives me some of that same addictive, nuanced-and-character-driven-but-still-twisty crime

Yeah, it kinda felt like he was apologizing for his show.
