No. This is a legitimately good job, internet!

He's done too many good movies for people to suddenly turn on him now, but yeah, I feel like the commodification of all the goodwill could do with a break.

'20' sounds wildly optimistic to me. Maybe half that, an even then only because they're easy to market rather than guarantee an audience. Take Bradley Cooper: opens American Sniper to 90m, then Serena gets a VOD release followed by Aloha making 20m total. The era of the rock solid, safe bet movie star is long gone.…

If agents don't take heat from the studios that would otherwise fall on the actors then they really are useless. It's like Michael Douglas' assistant in Traffic says to him: "It matters that they like you. It doesn't matter that they like me. That's where I can help you."

Re: asking for more money, isn't that an agent's job? When she brings up Bale, Cooper et al it's not like those guys are at the studio negotiating for themselves. Or do I have quaint notions about the reality of Hollywood?

The Prestige is probably Nolan's best movie, but no-one seems to realize it.

"I'm seeing double-dipping here! Four articles!"

I've noticed a worrying number of online comments in the last couple of years try to suggest the fourth film was 'actually quite good'. Well… no. No it wasn't.

Plot armor. Part and parcel of watching Homeland by now, really. But yeah, picking Quinn to kill Carrie (was that Saul's doing? Surely not.) is a patently silly choice.

She's certainly been through a lot. But even in her own (self-serving?) memories she's highly passive which is rarely the most endearing trait of a fictional character. I think the fact that both Noah and Cole see her as much more collected suggests she's anything but, though.

To be clear I'm not necessarily equating contemporary Christianity with Islam in terrorist terms (although there are many forms of 'recruitment'). I actually agree with Bill Maher for once: if you don't think that of of all the major religions today Islam isn't the biggest threat to world peace then you're being…

Haven't rewatched any of the previous seasons, but I don't recall any religious associations in Carrie's personal life prior to this. The opening scene this season was obviously a bit of a 'gotcha!' but maybe motherhood does that to some people. Or maybe it's a commentary by the writers about the hypocrisy of Western…

Enjoyable-ish, not as engaging as the first episode. The plotlines are still too disparate to add up to a satisfying whole.
- Couldn't help but roll my eyes at Carrie staying, even if you could argue it was in character (guess she still doesn't care about her child *that* much).
- Liking Quinn as an unrepentant…

"I may end up liking the ex-spouses POV more than Alison or Noah."

The discrepancy between Allison and Cole's memories of the their reunion was particularly egregious in this episode.

Evans is handsome in an ugly sort of way. Worthington is a just void of any conceivable adjective.

Hollywood has finally conceded that it's completely run out of young American actors.

Thor didn't need to be in the first Avengers movie either. Boy, his character really gets shafted in these team up films.

Better, internet, if still a bit obvious.

But The Affair *is* a soap?
