I haven't set foot in a movie theater since "Inside Llewyn Davis" finally showed up in these parts last January.

And just when we, as a nation had finally forgiven Geraldo for the bitter disappointment of Al Capone's empty vault…

I haven't listened to the podcast above (the one responding to the Serial podcast itself) but I have a hunch that the AV Club and others are feeling hoodwinked by the program.

I thought it invoked the central "Citizen Kane" theme—the all-American story of rags to riches, fame and fortune failing to provide happiness, along with Kane's multimedia stotytelling techniques. It even had a superfluous dance number at one point.

I gave PDL another shot not long ago. Still don't hate it, but am glad it's only 90 minutes long.

Yes—it suprised me that this wan't mentioned, although if I remember correctly, the AV Club's Larry Hagman obit failed to mention that his mother was Mary Martin.

Usher's "Mystery Men" was the first film to pop into my head. Not a perfect film, but, the problems I had with it had to do with the script by Neil "The Adventures Of Plute Nash" Cuthbert, and not Usher's directing.

Don't know if it's online anywhere, but when Chris Rock was a castmember, he did an episode of the "Nat X" show on which the Rodney King jury were his guests. It was pretty much the sketch that I think this reviewer wanted to see last night.

One thing Koenig has not (yet) discussed is the autopsy. I'm not sure what a medical examiner might have been able to discover after the body had been in the woods for several weeks, but the winter tempratures should at least somewhat preserved it, and there is no mention of (sorry, this is unpleasant) any animal…

Fair enough—maybe the word I should have used was "closure". Maybe I should have stated that people shouldn't automatically expect the series to end on an unambiguous, emotionally satisfying note. But while I honestly don't know if Koenig has held back any information not yet reported elsewhere, that doesn't strike me…

Discontinuing classic "The Larry Sanders Show" reviews not once, but twice.

Correct me if I am wrong, but Jay is the only source for evidence that Hae was killed before she was duue to pick up her relative at 3:15? He seems to have lied about everything else at some point—how do we know she wasn't killed much later that afternoon when the only corroborating evidence is that no other witness…

Kevin Spacey as Mr. S! (Or maybe Kevin Spacey actually was Mr. S? Ohmigod!)

The sensation I can't shake about Adnan is that everytime we hear him, he is speaking to a woman, and it always strikes me that he is "handling" Koenig as much as he is trying to communicate with her. He is certainly able to play on her emotions as much as her intellect, and his main defenders on the show all seem to…

Actually, there was a Youtube video which explored the area where it was believed (by the person making the video) the car was recovered. It was apparently abandoned off of an alley behind some apartment buildings parallel to a main road, not visible from the road, in a not-so-great part of Baltimore. But now that I…

Remember Leslie Abramson, the lawyer for the Menendez brothers? Gutierrez shares her grating speech pattern. I wonder if this was a thing among 1990's female criminal defense attorneys.

Same goes for people expecting "bombshells" with each episode, searching for character arcs, and trying to guess the "ending". SPOILER ALERT: In real life, there are no "endings".

Then it could be the Bert Macklin-ificent Seven, amiright?

"Snarkity, snarkity snark…"

Now that I think about it, a major reason why Jerry Lewis's "The Day The Clown Cried" has never seen the light of day is because the option rights expired prior to the start of filming, yet filming took place nonetheless.
