Since I have never read any of Gaiman's stuff, all this means to me is "does this mean they'll be an even further delay of The X-Files"?

So I should probably get around to watching Vertigo before I read this book?

I kind of like that Anderson makes her unlikeable, though. I just wish she hadn't made EVERYONE so unlikeable. I hate when writers write a character that they view as full of wisdom, but still acts like a jerk. In real life, most people would find Zen Colleen a little insufferable.

Pierce Brosnan is Irish.

I don't either but if I had to speculate, it is in part because the episode is seen entirely through Scully's eyes, and Scully is clearly out-of-sorts with the world until she meets Zen Colleen, so perhaps everyone is so irritating because she is irritated with everyone.

No, I think that the point of the episode is to show the events that lead to Scully's acceptance - finally - that this relationship with Mulder, in all of its dangerous craziness, is in fact something has chosen for herself. It's not that the weekend was influenced by her night with Mulder, it is that the weekend

Okay, I know this is three years later but whatever. I just watched this episode last night in a rewatch. And TBH, everyone in the first part of the episode is just awful, including Scully. Mulder is at his self-centered worst, Scully is at her bitchiest (and most rigid), Daniel is a sleaze, his daughter is a brat,

Varsity Blues, which is not - by any stretch of the imagination - a good film. But I was in grad school in Philly, my friends and I were quite drunk when we saw it, and it was only worth seeing in that context.

I just can't get into her. I read both Tracks and Four Souls, and couldn't get past the Manic Pixie Dream Girl qualities of Fleur Pillager.

I just watched this last night in my rewatch. While I didn't love it, I would put it in the solid B category, mostly because John Diehl was pretty good playing a pretty scary guy.

Well, to be fair, even the teenaged me never thought he had traditional leading man good looks. After all, it's worth noting that his first big breaks were as villains (for instance, in The Petrified Forest), not as heroes.

The teenaged EleanorOfAquitaine06, who was completely obsessed with Bogart, is appalled at this comment. The adult EleanorOfAquitaine06 says he wasn't really ugly, but he did a face full of character. Agreed on the greatest, though.

Beat The Devil is such a weird little film.

The Maltese Falcon doesn't make any sense, this is true — I mean, it's the film for which the term the "MacGuffin" was coined, IIRC. But to be fair, at least Sam Spade is supposed to possess some human emotions, as opposed Brigid O'Shaughnessy. He actually feels bad about turning her over to the police and stuff.

But would she want to crime solve without Mulder? Doubtful.

Yes, you will like both of these movies. Whatever Belushi's persona is, both of these movies have great writing, great sense of characters, and the underlying sense of anarchy that is important to most really good comedies, IMO.

If only my potatoes looked like David Duchovney.

A really handsome potato with very expressive eyes.
