Was I crazy, or was the camp in Maine? Going through Miami is a heckuvva route (unless it was a MAJOR discount ticket). If they weren't on a time schedule, they could've opted to give up seats for a night in a Miami hotel. Still a very sweet episode.

Think that was the one. Thank you.

I remember the first time Felicity/Russell had a Season 2 sit-down with Amy Aquino, who forced her to do some serious soul-digging about her choices and values, and Russell slowly stripping herself bare of defenses as she comes to her realizations. I liked Russell anyways, but that was the first time I thought, "This…

The poster errs when thinking that the phrase "libtard"—shorthand for "I can't handle real in-depth discussion about political issues so I'm just going to name-call"—is a shining beacon other AV Club users will see and think, "Oh yes, that's someone brilliant worth emulating and listening to."

I agree, her expression made the ending of the film—and the film as a whole—work.

I've been wondering for awhile now if the texting thing is more prevalent in some regions of the US than others, or big cities vs, the suburbs, etc. My guy and I see 95% of our movies at a Cinemark in Beaverton Oregon, and I could probably count on one hand the number of times when I had to go and politely whisper to…

I took the wedding to be a "f— you" at Claudia and her pronouncement that the Jenningses were going to have to keep working "the long con" on their respective Kansas partners for the foreseeable future. The wedding seemed to affirm that Elizabeth and Philip, no matter what happens in the field, are unshakably…

But authentic!

That is a truly excellent example of everything an intelligent, moving, and tragic horror movie should be, but the last 5 minutes is really almost too much to deal with, it's so gruesome.

I had an emotional breakdown (seriously) watching "Sophie's Choice"—thank goodness I was at a friend's house and watching it on DVD. I was like 16 and knew about the Nazis, but actually seeing "the choice" was too much for me. I started sobbing/wailing and became so distraught, my friend might have paused the movie…

Catching up on the current season (Jekyll and Hyde just bit it last night). If Morrison moves on, they can still tie off some of the other stories they didn't address properly next season, but Morrison needs to come back for a final 4-episode (or so) arc to bring the story to a proper finish. (Having said that, few…

If she didn't produce "Cover Up: Behind Iran Contra," she did lend her voice for the narration, knowing it would garner a lot of attention. (I think she did it for scale or for free.) Classy lady.

Anyone who says that Carol Burnett was never funny needs to see the "Maude" parody called "Broad": "Did you know there's a chorus on our front porch?" (Offscreen Chorus, cheerily:): "And then there's Broad!" Offscreen Burnett, breaking the sound barrier: "GET OFF MY PORCH OR I'LL RIP YOUR HEARTS OUT!"

"Hook" is a great example of a terrific trailer disguising a seriously flawed, if not outright bad, movie.

No "Stoney End" by Laura Nyro but popularized by Streisand? (My parents never explained to me that it was a song about a young woman going out to the edge of town—or the desert—to commit suicide; it took years of re-reading the lyrics and doing research about Nyro to understand,)

Absolutely, Parton owns that song—she did it as a mournful prayer of love, not as an ear-splitting paean to how talented the singer is. But Parton, no fool, said, "I don't care if they call it Whitney's song—so long as they keep sending me the royalty checks."

"Kokomo" I reply! :)

OK, "that Houston woman" as I call her. Rarely have I seen someone go so swiftly from doe-eyed, soft-spoken beauty to hard, surly, hostile, condescending, obviously drug-addicted trash. There is no comparison between the vision of youthful loveliness singing "Home" from "The Wiz" on daytime TV while still a teenage…

"Cocktail" and "Days of Thunder" are both low points for him.

Brilliant as Highmore was and as solid as everyone else was, I couldn't help but have a nagging feeling that sentimentality is not what the Bates family and "Psycho" are about. Greek tragedy and horror, yes. Ironic reversals of expecatation, yes. Hugs and tears amid the blood? Hmmmmm. (Though it was sad that…
