Well, he's right about one thing. The Fifth Element is garbage.

But look at the loveli lakes!

Except that Pantoliano and Tilly weren't up to the script. But I"m nitpicking because I truly love that film.

Cloud Atlas was ambitious but fails due to the Waschowski's decision to eviscerate the book's structure, and cross-cut the hell out of the narrative. Rather than each section containing its own emotional thrust, we sit with them too briefly for any of it to resonate. All emotional attachment I got from the movie was…

The fact that Jack is so bad at it creates such an immense insecurity within him and is maybe the main reason he is the last of the lost to find himself, to let go. This is a very common and very human trait.

Between this, Hannibal, True Detective and Mad Men I can't remember antime with more artistic shos in a single year.

Also notice how the show's title at the top was in blackinstead of red.

I have to admit I was so bored reading that book that I didn't even notice that.

They showed her screwing her cousin once. Not in this season, but it's not like she hasn't been known to get around a bit, wink wink.

"With Arya he found humanity; with the Hound, Arya lost hers."

Jason and the Argonauts, yes?

I was in the 4th grade in 84 but I came to these books about the same age you did. I also loved Raistlin but Sturm Brightblade was my favorite. I still have the graphic novel adaptations of them even though I haven't looked at them in 30 years. I think I'll go crack them open.

Well I don't read many kid's books, so I don't know, but this one opened up a great window for my daughter to view her government in a new light. Makes me happy.

The main "game" plot, sure, but I'm not the first one to point out the book's not-so-subtle jabs at our current society. Nice to see in such a mainstream YA property.

Devoured most of Voices of D-Day over the weekend, and am about 3/4 finished with The Prestige, by Priest, my first of his books.

Great book.

The books are okay books and the movies are okay movies, though I will say that I found the second book to be wonderfully subversive for YA and my daughter and I actually had a great conversation about politics because of it. For that alone, I rank it higher than the others. But they're not great literature, and the…

I feel like I've been waiting for Peggy to have that moment for the whole series.

My heart was leaping out of my chest to cheer for Peggy. I haven't been that happy for a character on TV ever.

I give it Frank Oz as Yoda because not once in the 34 years I've bee watching Empire have I ever thought I was looking at a puppet.
