Is it me or his Markham's creepy relationship with Boon sounding more and more like he's an illegitimate child of his? Otherwise he's so disturbingly patriarchal that it seems actually out of character for a slick dealer like Markham to do.

This has been her sorry story arc from the getgo. She's Raylan's dark alternative, Boyd has always been evil through and through, but Loretta represents something smarter, kinder, but driven by the greed to stay in. If she survives the episode I'll be pleasantly surprised…but she may just die in the fight.

Justified was and continues to establish itself as an anti-shield or modern melodrama. It is by all accounts a straight forward good guys win show. But it's High Noon not Rio Bravo, it's the reality that while the good guy is really just a man with a tin star, he's still better than any savage bastard who crosses…

A family friend actually got on TPiR and had been a lawyer for several years but wrote that he was a steel worker (because he had been in the Edgar Thompson while he went to law school) and got up on stage. The show intentionally picks younger college kids or older working-class types to go up on stage because it…

I actually remember them giving away a TON of variously sized gumball machines. I mean, the small ones kind of make sense in a kitschy way? Like a silly little den item that can sit on a shelf with some gum in it, but they gave away the big 3-4 ft tall ones later on when they came in. Who seriously wants that in…

I have to put the Distillers out there as a band that transformed for the traditional thrash punk scene to aggressive alt-rock/punk sound that culminated in their most commercially successful album all to quit. Brody Dalle of the band basically admitted they hated each other by the end but for apparently drug…

Well internet, you redeemed yourself for the moment. I'll take this and tuck it away in the corner of my mind until I need something with levity for later. Now I'm going to go be sad that with Nielsen gone we've yet to have a decent parody film in his wake….

I'm not sure how you would view Boyd as Good for having murdered a number of people in cold blood while Raylan has killed in self-defense…

In last week's preview it setup this fearful situation where Raylan essentially quits the marshall's service and walks away from everything in order to prove he's doing right. In reality it looks like he's going to meet up with sovereign citizen types who hate the law/government so much that bringing his badge/star…

. . .That does seriously burn me. In smaller club venues I tend to chill towards the back, the stage rush is just not my bag. But I may enjoy a comfortably full venue till the headliner shows then it's just SHOULDER TO SHOULDER with people. It really takes the fun out of a show because I may be standing for an hour…

I'm getting old but I remember paying tickets just after I became an adult to see The Goo Goo Dolls, they were still hot off of their late-90s hits but they were already fading fast. What I really wanted to see was Third Eye Blind and Vanessa Carlton wasn't awful either. Actually seeing Third Eye Blind live was the…

Eeww….Jason Bateman. He would work in a way that to me makes you want to enjoy watching him suffer. I think I'm in the minority but I find him irritating as a human being, they keep making him the snarky underdog and I just want to watch him get destroyed. It would actually work in that situation to watch him…

I've always known Schwarzenegger had the ability to act with emotion on occasion, it was rare but there were glimpses of a genuine actor inside the stupid muscle action hero. If that trailer distilled all that he managed to do in this movie I would be happy. I actually want to see 105 minutes of brooding and…

I think Mos Def would have worked out better, but who would you have play the white collar criminal in this? I think Jason Sudekis could have been a solid choice but this movie would have been far more cerebral then (not a bad thing) and playing more in words than cheap gags.

I'm pretty sure it's McKay's voice presenting racism/sexism as a social commentary then Ferrell dude-bro-ing it down to the point where it has a questionable taste. Ferrell himself has made no racial remarks out of character, I've heard no horror stories. But I have heard from McKay who talks about social commentary…

Pretty much exactly how I picture it. Boyd is alive to save Raylan's life and have a redemption moment while Ava runs in fear/anger, never truly being a bad person like Boyd, but never being a good person willing to take responsibility for their actions.

As I said, I really actually like Will Ferrell, he can act and he can be funny. The problem is his range is limited and actually reminding me of his other movies this decade really makes me wonder who is making decisions for him. They're all screwball comedies so far out of their depth that it makes them hard to…

I actually grew to like Ferrell but he is an off-beat comedian that works on a few levels. When you take him out of that man-child or lovable idiot role he doesn't really have much range. If you go back to his SNL days he is a great guy to work with but his characters all basically fall into the same style, either…

As already stated this is pretty much a straight up comedy pairing test. There have been dozens of movies like this in the last 30 years where comedians who have not worked with each other previously made for good pairings on screen (Richard Pryor and Gene wilder come to mind but their best work was after they became…

Ah that's right, well we've seen him use the blackjack before and as a loan shark it makes sense. The two semi-auto pistols isn't that much of a stretch, if anything the scene sets up the idea that Wynn has always been a dangerous character.
