Not just there. The phrase “You’ll never work in this town again” gets thrown around too lightly, but I think it applies in this case. Fisher probably should start working on his Realtor license.

She conned them because she wanted to be like them. She used the money she stole to be a horrible elitist snob, as bad as anyone she stole from. There’s nothing admirable about her.

In the book Night Watch, Vimes notes how once he passed 40 or so, women of a certain age started finding him very attractive. Now, a lot of that is his aura of strength and confidence, but I’d say he’s at least an average-looking guy, like Simon Pegg. And he’s not supposed to be huge - not that the 5'10" Simon Pegg is…

Simon Pegg would have been perfect - Vimes is just a more seasoned version of his character from Hot Fuzz. Tough but not huge, trustworthy-looking but not handsome per se, great at playing the one sane man surrounded by lunatics. Plus, he comes with a free Nick Frost to play Sgt. Colon.

My parents wet to see the Piano when it came out. When they got home, I asked my dad how the movie was. He replied, and I quote: “I don’t want to see Harvey Keitel’s penis”.

Hanukkah is a big deal in Israel too, and not because of Christmas, but because it’s about Jews kicking ass.

My suspicion is that the writers think she’s a “fun snarky” character like Spike with the chip in his head on Buffy. The main differences are:

Even a half-assed, hypocritical feminist is better than no feminist at all.

Though the show ran out of creative juice after a while, it found some again, then lost it, then found it, then lost it, over and over again for a decade. What helped is that the main cast - which basically consists of two guys and some hanger-ons - never seemed to get bored or lazy, and they still have terrific…

Don’t blame Barsanti. It’s just that he happens to be currently experiencing fucknuttery.

She’s also, what, 46? That’s my age, and lots of women my age look pretty damn good - better than her, that’s for sure.

So did Michael’s adoptive parents show up from nowhere again solely to tell her how awesome she is? Because I love when that happens.

My problem is that burning alive is a horrible, horrible death... and both of the women had revolvers. Couldn’t you put her out of her misery, Lettie?

Actually, her parents changed it from a German slave name to a Hebrew one (“Gadot” means “riverbanks”) in order to connect with their Israelite heritage.

I’ll give you Hopper, if you agree that Simon Pegg was born to play Vimes.

It misses the whole point of Vimes - he’s the straight guy. He’s the sane center of maelstrom of insanity. Having him be “wacky” and “zany” is just wrong on every imaginable level.

Huh. I assumed this would be “That scene from Magnolia and 17 other songs”.

Personally, I like Taron Egerton as Feyd.

That’s the moment where you realize that he knew that all that “stupid is as stupid does” stuff was bullshit - that he never managed to convince himself it was true. It’s the best moment in the film.

Season 1 was big and fun and silly and batshit insane. Season 2 was... competent.
