Let's bear in mind Trump is in his first 100 days, the traditional honeymoon period when a President can do no wrong and the media adore him. I almost feel sorry for the guy - he grew up surrounded by yes-men and now seems bewildered after waking up in a strange world where headlines attack him and people dare to

Brit Marling is mesmerizing, and the camera loves her face. The first episode is laden with mystery but not one strange interpretive dance, which I suspect helped the reviews - some of them start with a phrase like "I've only seen the first episode but if the rest is this good…"

I'd like to see what you think of *Hail Ceasar!* When I saw it, the audience was uncomfortably silent during much of the movie. My wife wouldn't let me chew my popcorn because in the tomb-like atmosphere it sounded like an army marching on gravel!

I think the UFO thing was fine as a mystery, just some weird, distracting lights, which should have remained mysterious, but that changed in the penultimate episode. When they looked up during the motel shootout to see this very obvious structure overhead, that ruined it. My wife was disgusted, having invested

Also, I really like your attitude. It's a lot more fun to pleasantly discuss these films than to get yelled at for dissenting. The Coen brothers are particularly interesting because they seem to be geniuses but their work is not consistently great. Didn't they also do "A Serious Man"? Was that supposed to be a

I think you should give Hail Caesar a try and give your fair, honest appraisal. I think it was supposed to be a comedy, but the theater audience was quiet as a tomb. Yet in a lot of ways it succeeded, mainly as an homage to old movies. It had some really wonderful stuff in it. It just seemed dull and odd to

I didn't like any of those elements, either. Plus, I absolutely hated Barton Fink, Burn After Reading and Hail Caesar. Maybe it's just me.

So why not have a magical unicorn in Fargo that farts out rainbows? That would be imaginative fiction.

And that Snickers you shoplifted at Osco when you were in sixth grade. The Jesus don't forget.

As long as there's no UFOs, I'm excited to hear Fargo will be back, and happy to know Jim Gaffigan will be in it. If it's going to be Close Encounters of the Third Season, I'm not going to bother to set my DVR. Grumpy old UFO skeptic, OUT.

Clearly in the slowed-down gif of the shooting it is evident that Cisco gets clipped in the face. Darlene escapes, as a key central character does on a TV series with two episodes left. She's a great character, and killing her off would let all the air out of the show, so she will live at least until the season

I like the way Dom eats. My German shepherd used to eat more politely than Dom does.

It's the jet effect. Same thing happened when JFK got shot in the back of the head, kicking brain matter onto the trunk of the limo and jerking his head forward in reaction. If you think someone shot from the front, make note there was no front entry wound, no damage to the windshield and no frontal entry wounds on

Jet effect. The brain, partially pureed in an instant by the entering bullet, responds to the wave of pressure in the cranium by kicking back out of the entry wound. Similar to the surface of a pond when a rock is dropped into it, but more exaggerated due to the confinement of the brain case.

That was some classic FBI-trained shooting style. Huge respect to the show for knowing how it's done rather than playing it up like every other cop show.

Could just be some red sauce from the table. But my bet is they took out Cisco. Hard to imagine someone spraying that many bullets and not hitting somebody.

Steve shouldn't have looked. Blue told him not to look.

I think the ear behind Elliot and the eyeball on the wall behind Angela were some foreshadowing that they were being watched surreptitiously.

This one was demonstration that television can be a medium for visual genius as well as brilliant writing.

I suspect that scene was based on how people actually react to a celebrity - yelling out names of their most popular characters/roles, yelling out taglines, yelling the punchlines to jokes, etc. Get a bunch of us together in an audience, give a few drinks, and pop in a celebrity, and we act up all dumb.
