I found that whole thing so weirdly compelling - the only time I've ever gone over my allotted data on my phone was the month that was happening and I kept checking up on Shia in between classes. I became so fond of him! I have a friend in NYC who actually got into the thing and stayed there for … maybe 12 hours?

So … Rowsdower. Is that a stupid name…?

Yeah, that was an odd way to put it, like not wanting to see WBC or Ann Coulter's hateful rhetoric is somehow close-minded or petty.

My friend played Satine in some sort of community theatre adaptation of it, and they used the original name and everything, so I guess it has, assuming the theatre got the rights to do it. Maybe someone in the theatre itself wrote the play and they were the only ones to perform it, though. And certainly a big budget Mo…

Disastrous meaning it stains everything it touches, I assume.

I agree with a lot of the answers in the article, especially Do the Right Thing, which I think of whenever it gets unbearably hot in the city and I just want to cover myself in ice cubes.

Hallström also directed My Life as a Dog, which was devastating even WITHOUT an onscreen dog death.

I think that's true - their mysterious endings, like the two we mentioned, and A Serious Man and arguably Inside Llewyn Davis, all have an existential poetry that few other current popular directors aim for. They're also far more accessible, and less intimidating, than many other challenging directors's films because…

I was already big into movies when I saw Barton Fink as a teenager, but it was the first movie I'd seen with such an ambiguous ending. It changed the way I thought about film. I couldn't stop thinking or talking about it for a month.

Spotify is uncannily good at figuring out what I might like, more so than any other platform's recommendations system. I've discovered so many artists I'd never even heard of who fit my tastes perfectly. The Related Artists sidebar is also a goldmine!

I think I understood seasons (mostly), but a lot of it was still mysterious. My sister and I were huge fans of Sabrina the Teenage Witch. When the channel started showing reruns of Clarissa Explains it All right after Sabrina, I assumed that meant it was a new show and Melissa Joan Hart had been made up to look much…

http://bryanlewissaunders.o… This one? The art is cool! (Though thinking about someone doing this many addictive drugs, like heroin, is nerve-wracking for me…)

It's at least 20 times higher than I would have guessed!

It took about five seconds of their conversation to (correctly) remember the type of gloves, and no one wants to read the reactions of two people as they watch 23 seconds of a video clip to determine what kind of gloves someone wears. How were they lazy?

I don't love the finale, but I do sort of like the trial as a comment on how sitcom characters can practically get away with murder as long as it's funny and it all resets by the next episode. The part I really don't like about the trial is how it all starts - the scene where they're making fun of the guy's weight…

This isn't true at all. She said they'd been asking around for months. https://twitter.com/Lesdogg…

Craig Ferguson's laidback interview style where people could talk about anything that took their fancy spoiled me for almost any other painfully rehearsed late night interviews. His conversations could go anywhere, and he had a mysterious knack for making anyone funnier and more charming on his show than they seem to…

You mean the woman who took a video of her boyfriend dying at the hands of a cop so the story couldn't be spun later? You seriously have a problem with that and see it as part of the downfall of modern society? Fuck off.

Numberwang is exactly what I thought of as soon as I saw the spinning set.

I had a disheartening moment recently, after I saw The Deer Hunter for the first time and was raving about De Niro's performance to my dad. He asked if De Niro had been in anything lately and I had to say "Yeah, he's in Dirty Grandpa…". I'm happy for De Niro if he's happy but as a film fan it was a bummer of a…
