There’s obviously a lot more to acting that just looking like somebody, but

Eric Bogosian should play Anthony Bourdain in a biopic. 

That bit at the end when Molloy asks Armand why he saved him in 1973 and Armand’s answer is word for word the same as Louis’s when Molloy asked him at the beginning...

Michael Richards as Malamud in Young Doctors In Love. Every time he bungles an attempt to kill a hospitalized Mafia Don by posing as a patient he ends up getting another procedure performed on him by mistake.

You can’t just pound on your keyboard and expect us to believe those are the names of real people.

Nothing in the film supports that it wasn’t an accident. If he was pissed, he could have killed him on the spot in the apartment. It would have just been one more body for whoever cleaned up the rest of it. He could have killed him when they got where they were going. As absurd as it was for him to have his gun out,…

I only saw the first season but it was a great show.

“The Killer (Michael Fassbender) in, uh, The Killer.”

Mickey (James Gandolfini) in Killing Them Softly.

Every so often I remember that Limbaugh died and I get a little frisson of glee.

Another old white MAGA hat rides off into the wilderness with a fortune despite having few actual skills. Truly the American story.

I thought Fury Road was fantastic (a rare film I went to see twice, the second time I rang up the then biggest iMax screen in the world repeatedly until they showed it again so I could see it in that format the second time), was critically acclaimed, nominated for a whole slew of awards including the biggest in the…

Parents, teachers, friends, family, co-workers and bosses exist in your real life. You know where the line might be and the line for each of those people are probably different than it would be with any of the others.

Because the ones you had to watch what you say around - parents, teachers, bosses - were figures of authority whom you were obliged to respect.

While I’m always game for more chase-battles with absurd apocalyptic hot rods, at no point during Fury Road did I think “I really need to know the origin of that dead kid hallucination and how Max went feral.” It was a great case of “show, don’t tell” that gives the audience all they need. You can imagine the details…

One measure of how effective a work like this is in communicating this needed message, is how much resistance it gets from the Kremlin/Alt-reich/Arch-GOP groups.
