His playful confrontation with Sylvester Stallone at the Oscars is pretty fun. Also, that transition from the boxing stance to the nervous strut on his way back to the podium is probably the most adorable Stallone has ever been.

I just binged through The Night Manager on AMC's site, meaning I inevitably saw about 2 dozen ads for this over that time period. Didn't look too noteworthy, but I did kind of enjoy how much it implied that Schwimmer was playing a relatively grounded and normal character, as Zach Braffian as it might ultimately be.

Hey, Sue, don't talk to me that way, okay? You're the secretary to the vice president. That's like being Garfunkel's roadie, okay?

Yeah, it's kind of fun to see Wolverine staggering around the school as everyone else goes along with their duties, only for Beast to come out with the casual, "Hey, Logan!"

I'm pretty sure Kenneth Branagh's next film was Cinderella, not M:I - Rogue Nation. So, yeah, better things, but different.

The thing was that she actually got those nominations the same year! The Imitation Game was released just a few months later in 2014.

And I just found out before watching it that the adaptation was written by Drive screenwriter (and fellow Iranian) Hossein Amini. Just that little fact delighted me immensely.

Ha! I literally just finished watching The Wings of the Dove on Netflix (Expires tomorrow! Watch out!) before popping in here and seeing this.

Punch-Drunk Love counts as "being part of a single thing", and that's great. Also one that he has no creative control over, but great.

Or the reviews for the new Alice in Wonderland movie.

I think Die Hard 4 is only really bad as a Die Hard movie. It just makes John McClane a bit too much of a superhero to the point that it's kind of the antithesis to what makes the original so great. Also, I don't remember Timothy Olyphant being that intimidating of a villain. Though I do love Maggie Q in it, and

He was pretty fun in Horrible Bosses. Wished they'd used him just a bit more.

And Olive Kitteridge, which I wish he had been in a bit more of (though I guess he still got an Emmy out of it).

I'm pretty sure one of my actual responses to a comment like this on the Black Mass review was essentially:

Charlie Pace closes the door on Desmond. He shows Desmond his hand. Desmond reads what's scribbled:

It feels like they pretty much just took everyone who was involved in last year's Macbeth adaptation and just had them walk over to a new set for AC.

David Simon projects tend to actually do a lot better on the Miniseries side than Drama. The Corner actually won him 2 Emmys, Generation Kill earned a couple of nominations, and even Treme (which had previously only gotten in for the Directing of its Pilot), got a couple more nominations for Writing and Miniseries for

Or, if not him, Oscar Isaac. If they remember Show Me A Hero.

I don't really see what's so egregious about Howard's End or The Crying Game making it in, but, yeah, Malcolm X deserved a lot more recognition than just Best Actor and Best Costume Design.

And she had sex with Leonardo DiCaprio in Catch Me If You Can.
