Is Trigger Warning any good so far? I've been trying to figure out if I should pick that one up.

Babe is one of those very rare cases of a literary adaptation equaling or surpassing the book's quality. One of the best family films I've ever seen. And that song!

I was about to be angry about spoilers, but then I realized that I don't watch the show and don't give a fuck.

Sean Pertwee shows up in a few episodes of season two of Elementary. I love watching him make a fool of himself.

Jesus, I saw season one of Miss Fisher and didn't realize that it was the same actress until now. She must be taking over the country!

I think the extended editions have some scenes that were cut for good reason (such as the bit with Aragorn swarming the evil ships with his ghost army, which ruins the surprise when they turn up later on), some bits that are neutral (such as Aragorn telling Eowyn how old he is), and some bits that should have stayed…

Chimes at Midnight was my Shakespeare professor's favorite Shakespeare film. If I had to pick one, I'd go with Olivier's Henry V, which plays up the more propagandistic side of the play, but it's personal taste, as Henry V is a pretty cinematic play to begin with. The only problem I might have with Welles' films is…

I like both of them, but for different reasons. Branagh's adaptations always feel very cinematic to me, especially considering his love for tracking shots and neat twists like doing Claudius' confession in a, well, confessional. So his Much Ado About Nothing is accessible enough that I found it accessible even when I…

I'm not on speaking terms with my parents at the moment, so if somebody asked me if I was doing something for my mother, I just said "Yes" and changed the subject. Giving them a breakdown of the situation at the moment would be kind of like answering the question "How's it going?" honestly. You just don't burden…

Baked a key lime pie yesterday, except that key limes are out of season, so it was more of a lime pie. Invited some people over to eat it and watch "The Robots of Death" with me, except nobody showed. So I ate pie and watched Doctor Who anyway. This is at least the fifth time something like this has happened.

I'd like some more dongs on Game of Thrones. I understand that I am not the first person to express this sentiment.

We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed. Frankly, I have yet to engage in a direct action campaign that was "well timed" in the view of those who have not suffered unduly from the disease of segregation. For years now I have…

I eagerly await the Supreme Court decision telling us that sexism is a thing of the past. It's so nice that we have proud, noble straight white men like Antonin Scalia and John Roberts to make decisions so that the rest of us don't have to!

"So, why do you write these strong women characters?"

I watched Near Dark recently, which is a perfect 'fuck you' to anybody who thinks women can't handle action and violence. I'm not sure what to make of the fact that the first woman to win Best Director did so for a war movie. On one hand, I think it's awesome that Kathryn Bigelow can make such gripping films. On the…

The Tree of Life is one of my favorite movies of the last 20 years, possibly one of the best I've ever seen. I'm not sure if it all works, but it's so staggeringly gorgeous in the moments where it does work that I was fucking floored all the same. I haven't seen To the Wonder, but am excited for Knight of Cups. For…

I'd put No Country in there, except I've almost come to think of that as more Cormac McCarthy's movie than the Coen brothers'. It has many of their trademarks (inept criminals, quirky side characters, etc.) but is tonally very different from the rest of their work. Also, I fucking love Blood Simple.

She's in her early thirties, too. Life is just not fair.

The second half of S2 could be one of the best story arcs in any TV show ever. In the space of one episode, the show goes from pretty good to HOLY SHIT THIS IS SO GOOD. I even thought "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" was funny for showing us Xander being hounded by all those women, but I'm one of the few.

I love the string rendition of "YMCA". The ending is a little heavy-handed, but it makes its point. And yes, that scene with Davison telling his partner that he doesn't have to be scared of death is luminous.
