For sure - I couldn't believe how easy that trip seemed in the movie! I don't think he ever appeared to be in any danger in the few glimpses we had of the trip.

It sounds even harder than doing courtroom sketches, where you can at least be sure that the person in the witness box isn't going to run off.

That sunset scene in the Dolan film sounds amazing. I hope I disagree with D'Angelo on the rest of the movie, though from the description it sounds as exhausting as August: Osage County.

The book had so much more tension than the movie, I think especially since you spent a LOT more time alone with Watley, particularly before it's revealed that NASA knows he's up there. You really feel the isolation and how much could go wrong. Even the climax of the movie felt drawn out and relaxed. It shouldn't be

Geez! I never would have guessed 78.

The worst thing about the shoplifting is that she didn't even mean to do it - she left her credit card at the front desk and her mind just sort of blipped, I guess.

If none of the answers here wind up being right, I suggest trying the "I Need to Know!" board in the IMDb forums! They're amazingly fast at coming up with answers to vague movie/TV descriptions. The last time I used it I was looking for a song used in the finale of Another Period - it wasn't anywhere in the credits or

So there are TWO new shows about the Hindenburg coming out right now (Timeless is the other one).

My sister and I quote "FOOD!" at least once a week.

Oh man, I LOVED that, and any season where they tried something similar (e.g. showing him flying away on a chopper and then into the studio on a chopper). Making fun of Jeff's daring trip to the finale studio became a tradition in our family.

I don't think Sean was in Richard's alliance, even secretly; I think he really just didn't want to hurt anyone. Or if he was in the alliance he kept it a secret even to the cameras as I believe he regularly expressed shock at how the votes were somehow following his alphabet system. Alright, if it happens one more time

My family was camping when Colleen was voted off, so my sister and I were swinging between wanting to know who'd been voted off and not wanting to hear any spoilers. My mum heard from another camper (because, as you said, everyone was talking about it) that it was Colleen and I thought it must be a mistake because why

For season 2 they returned from the commercial break to show the finalists looking almost the same, but not quite, as they had before, and kept up the ruse of it until (I think) the winner was revealed and the crowd started cheering and you realized they were actually on a set months later. After that I think they

That drove me NUTS when I found out!! I don't remember learning the distinction in 13 years of French classes (five of them French Immersion), probably because the teachers knew it was confusing. Or more likely they did tell us and my brain refused to accept it and immediately forgot.

I'm so excited for this Jarmusch! I keep forgetting he has a new one. Adam Driver is an idiosyncratic actor who will be an interesting pairing with him.

I'm so excited for The Handmaiden, and wow, Toni Erdmann sounds great. Those are some impressive films keeping it company in the opening paragraph.

Not really. They talk about him when he has a new film because that's when people talk about him and publish articles about him. It's not opportunist, it's just … when everyone else is talking about him too.

This always makes me laugh, honestly. What really makes it are the ridiculous calculations ("I'm coming up with 32.33 - repeating, of course - percentage of survival" "Well, that's a lot better than we usually do…") and the stunned silence following Leeroy's hubristic war cry. Goddamnit, Leeroy!!!

It's a miracle of a film. When I think of the power of movies and the hold they have on people I think of Ana's face staring in wonder at Frankenstein.

Come on, it hardly boils down to liking him or not. He's directed many of my favourite movies. I'm (slightly guiltily) looking forward to Cafe Society. I still think he's a horrible person, though I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt for years.
