It's because the final moments taint everything that came before. It's a tricky tightrope to walk on and I think maybe the show has him be too smug at the end for it to seem any other way. I think their intention was there (And it makes it sort of more interesting) but I don't think it works in execution.

I'd love to see what else he included on there. I would assume GANJA AND HESS is on there, and I would assume THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS. Wes Craven had possibly the spottiest record of any Director, but when he hit it right he hit it right.

FENCES is…kind of not that good?

It's interesting that in an interview with Apatow/Dunham, they go with the idea that he didn't lure her there for that, and that it isn't until he asks her to join him on the futon that he gives in to his base instincts. I guess it's more in the moments after that it makes it appear as a long-con, but supposedly that

There's a documentary on netflix about Magicians, and although I'm interested in magic it turned out to be really kind of depressing. One guy in particular (Who has been through a few facelifts and hair jobs by the look of it) was just entirely too cringeworthy to watch.

It really depends on the show. For instance with NEVER MIND THE BUZZCOCKS, which is now off the air, almost everything was scripted. You always assume there's something like that going on (Commonly I think that the comedians will know the questions beforehand to get some jokes ready), but with that show in particular

I actually find this a somewhat mean-spirited end for a character who, while annoying, was also fairly innocent. Also, ITT, people talking like Jar Jar was an actual person.

I think a lot of them are low-budget enough that it kind of doesn't matter. I would also imagine that for his Faulkner stuff he's using his own money.

Here's my issue: I like Carnahan (Who's already said it'll be closer in tone to THE GREY and NARC) and I like Grillo. But if you remove the martial arts from the movie, then what are you left with? It seems Carnahan has addressed some of the same comments on Twitter, but if you take the thing that made the movie

Oh absolutely, I forgive it a lot of sins because the production is amazing, and also Coppola is just going for broke, but every few years I'll catch it again and get reminded that there's some aspects that really don't work well at all.

Still not a 13 year olds idea of pulp. I mean there's Don Pendleton's THE EXECUTIONER novels, which is about a one man mob war. Hell it has similarities to the Travis McGee series, or early Lawrence Block pulp.

I don't think that many people really come out of DRACULA unscathed. Hopkins and Oldman are doing some delicious overacting throughout, but Oldman is at his worst when he's trying to portray the lovesick version of that character. And Sadie Frost/Wynona Ryder barely register at all.

There's this annoying 'damning with faint praise' thing about these articles. The dude has clearly been doing something right all these years. No he's not always great (But then no actor really has an untarnished record either), but he never phones it in either. And he undoubtedly has a presence on screen that a

THE BAD BATCH is somewhat of a mess, actually it's a huge mess, but he's absolutely one of the best things about it.

There's nothing 'edgy' about it. It's pure pulp.

He's legitimately great in COPLAND. And even though people rated his performance at the time, I'd still say it was somewhat underrated.

I think the first thing to think about is that do you have any real idea if they feel the same way or not? I know that is really hard to tell, but before it gets real awkward for anyone, it's worth considering.

I wouldn't even worry all that much about Tinder, and I kind of feel like its time has passed. It hit for a hot minute as a hook-up app, and now I think people have just gone back to their normal avenues.

For me, OKC or POF was always easier than Tinder because you can open up with something they talk about on their profile (Hey I'm James, and you're right, Mondays DO suck). I think the problem with short messages is that they can just look like copy/paste jobs.

I kind of wonder how viable it would actually be in this day and age to pull it off. Something like Aum Shinrikyo is incredibly scary (Legitimately, the group were actively looking to buy a nuclear warhead, in addition to many chemical weapons they already had) but it also came at a time pre-internet. In a world where
