For me it was specifically the conversation in the kitchen between Mason's mom and dad. It was the part where it really gelled for me that while the movie is ostensibly about seeing a boy grow up, you really got to see the growth of every member of the family and each character's arc was every bit as compelling.

He's basically a LinkedIn profile that has taken human form, and that somehow turns out to be even more terrifying than it sounds.

I mean, you're probably right, I doubt he'll be able to top that individual scene. And I especially don't think that the bland honeydew melon that is Aaron Taylor-Johnson will be able to top Evan Peters' performance. But despite the fact that Quicksilver was the best thing about Days of Future Past, he also felt…

I honestly don't know why I'm responding because we're clearly just talking past each other at this point. I understand the point Sorkin is trying to make just fine. The point I am trying to make is that it's wrong for Sorkin to keep insisting that certain types of journalism are intrinsically more adept at adhering…

No, I would not have said the same if this was about a newspaper, because there are a lot of newspapers that actually publish quality, in depth reporting. The vast majority of the stories that The Newsroom delved into during its three seasons were broken by print outlets, organizations like the New York Times, AP,…

SNL Geography Correction: If your mattress store is located just off of I-90, it is not in upper South Dakota. I-90 only runs through the lower half of South Dakota.

I was glad that scene had Sorkin giving at least a nod that not ALL stuff on the Internet is terrible. But considering almost everything else Internet-related besides Neal is depicted as pure degradation of society, it still felt like too little, too late. Sorkin's criticism of the Internet has always felt completely…

LOL.

The fact that you say that like it's an insult is genuinely hilarious.

Some B and C plots are so incendiary that they deserve outrage and they deserve to dominate the review. The campus rape plot in this episode is one of them.

Yes, because a Grammy has never once been awarded to an undeserving musician.

Bah, that was my mistake, I accidentally read "objective" into your earlier comment. My apologies.

"By the way, Libby could have written that entire review above and still given the show a B based on the usual subjective measures that have been used."

If I could upvote this 100 times I would do so.

She doesn't just critique the message. She states that the episode is overstuffed with plot lines. She mentions that the suicide of the government source was not addressed with any note of reverence for the character. She describes how the Jim/Maggie romance falls flat because the characters have not been constructed…

You realize that the whole point of art is to convey some sort of message, right? It's impossible to properly critique art if you don't also critique the message.

Ah yes, the scene where Aaron Sorkin told us the Glass-Steagall Act is why we landed on the moon.

Plus the odds of Benedict Cumberbatch dropping in for the monologue have to be close to 100%, right?

Area Man Uses Internet Commenting Thread To Criticize Twitter As Means of Communication

He's apparently the only person who consistently says no when Weird Al asks to do a parody. The fact that I still like Prince in spite of knowing that shows just how transcendent his coolness is.
