Seriously, that closing argument scene might go down as one of the most wonderfully played moments of John Turturro's career, which I think is saying a fair amount.

Pretty much. I was also a big fan of the first 2 or 3 seasons of The Practice.

Seeing him revel in that casting call on Conan was quite fun.

Apologies if this was unclear, but we were actually referring to Ellen Burstyn's 2006 nomination for Mrs. Harris, where she is only onscreen for about 14 seconds. And Ellen Burstyn only started doing House of Cards this year, so this upcoming ceremony that she's nominated for is the first/only one where she'll be…

I'd say it's just as bad, since Ellen Burstyn's nomination was immediately called out as lazy vote-checking and inspired a new voting rule to make sure something like that wouldn't happen in the Miniseries category again, whereas nobody in the industry really seemed to make a fuss over Martindale's nomination and she…

I think he finally pulled himself together by the time they made Ching Chong Matinee.

I recently replayed Wolf Among Us. What a fantastic experience. Right up there with Tales from the Borderlands and Walking Dead Season 1 for me.

"While the choose-your-attitude conversations sometimes feel too
compressed, like you’re being driven to one outcome whether you like it
or not…"

I thought trying to watch the show on Crackle was so annoying. Not a big fan of the site.

That doesn't really make sense, though. I feel like "wooden" implies one being blank or incapable of showing any sort of emotion or expression. If anything, Eisenberg is the opposite. Part of his acting style is that his characters are often very neurotic and high-strung. His performance in Batman v. Superman…

Jesse Eisenberg definitely isn't cardboard. He hits a similar range most of the time, but that range is definitely not a wooden plank like several other muscular Hollywood guys like Sam Worthington.

I thought the first one was a bit better in its slickness and the freshness the updated characters had, but this isn't too far off, I guess.

Did Roger Ebert ever talk about Close-Up? He seemed to have a general aversion to Kiarostami prior to Certified Copy, but it doesn't look like he gave it an official review.

In one of the CBB Best Of podcasts, Scott and PFT talk about the time the latter actually got to meet Garry Marshall and it's clear that PFT holds so much affection for him and found Marshall to be an influence on his life.

Oh, there are a whole bunch of people that liked it. A Coen movie is always going to have its defenders, and there are a handful of critics (David Ehrlich, the guys from Filmspotting) who have expressed a lot of love for it.

I just always think back to the way Joe's dad protectively holds him while they're listening to the news about the girl in the well and tear up a bit.

And he has How to Train Your Dragon money.

This would be the 5th year for her.

I thought Liam Cunningham was pretty fantastic.
