This sounds to me like a series based around the most unpleasant interaction I could have at a bar on any given night.

The recent TV Club Classic rewatch of Slings & Arrows was the first time I'd seen it. It's marvelous, and it did indeed make me want to watch ALL the Shakespeare.

Ah, kilts. *fans self*

I spent a week in Edinburgh in November a few years ago, and it was freezing and bleak and still pretty gorgeous. Fantastic city, too. I took a day trip into the Highlands, which made me wish that I'd been able to go for longer and that it had been nicer out. (It really didn't help that sunset was like 4PM. Seriously,…

Honestly, her face just says "WWII-era British spy." Which is a weirdly specific thing for a face to say, but there it is. (Like Michelle Dockery's face says "Edwardian aristocrat." In any other role, she is not living up to her full face-potential.)

Right? I am IN.

I suspect that's why all the posters are just close-ups of Chris Hemsworth's face.

When they were casting this movie, I was rooting for Diane Kruger, who has the same square jaw and general bone structure as Grace Kelly. She's the closest we were going to get, resemblance-wise, and after Inglourious Basterds, I think she could pull it off.

There's a video from like a year ago (just before The Avengers, I think?) in Great Job, Internet! where he delivers that speech on some talk show to the studio audience, and it's fantastic, and it's so different from the direction they seem to have gone in the actual movie (which I haven't seen yet, but based on the…

I haven't listened to this whole album yet, but agreed: I love The Chase unreservedly, and nothing on ArchAndroid nor any of the singles from this one can touch "Many Moons."

I commonly use "you" where you could theoretically use "one." Case in point.

@olivececile:disqus Yeah, I'm not willing to say, "You're doing it wrong," when all we know is that they're doing it.

@LurkyMcLurkerson:disqus "Queer" is such a difficult term, because there are still people who use it derisively as well as people who have had it directed at them with such vitriol that it inflicts pain. But there's also a growing subset of people who prefer it, because - as you say - it best encompasses the actual…

Yeah, when in the "show is being developed" phase, ALL shows are reduced to one-line pitches that don't indicate anywhere that they'll eventually go. If the show is any good, there will be other aspects to the main character's life as well as secondary characters who have their own storylines.

…that actually sounds like a lot of fun to watch.

All of this, exactly what you said, word for word.

It's almost like talent is attractive!

Tahmoh Penikett is merely competent in BSG, though. Katee Sackhoff is GREAT. But I think she's the kind of actor who does best when you give her a lot to do, and no one since BSG has given her much of anything to do.

Oh, I think Matt Damon would still be the guy at the party who everyone gravitated to, even if he weren't the best-looking one there.

I actually don't find him attractive, but I find it hard to focus when he speaks. I can't even engage in discussions over whether Star Trek made sense because they gave too much of the exposition to him. (This may have been a very intentional, canny ploy.)
