It was a coyote, and from what I understand it wasn't in the script - it just randomly showed up where they were shooting and thanks to the digital camera's efficiency they were able to film it right then and there.

I had a reverse reaction to the major action scenes in this - the Munich apartment fight has always stood out as a low point of the trilogy for me, while the subsequent set-pieces feel like the crew got more adept at action as they went along. This bleeds over into Ultimatum, where I think Greengrass more or less…

And the best - possibly the only good - thing about The Danish Girl, where she's very natural.

I'd say Lynch in Inland Empire did that as well. And an argument could be made for Fincher's 2010s work.

Even though almost all of them had their fair share of cheese or worse, it's a shame that all those lavish, uber-expensive post-Gladiator historical epics died out so quickly, and what we get now is dull and gray and decidedly non-epic Guy Ritchie's King Arthur kind of nonsense that bombs anyway. I'd happily take…

It was Troy and it was quite an introduction all right.

Turteltaub and Cage instead wasted tons of Disney money on The Sorcerer's Apprentice, and for the latter it ended up being one of his last studio films. (For now. Hopefully.) Shame, the National Treasures were both fun flicks.

His career goes back a long way but it's a shame he's gone so soon after first gaining international prominence. I'm sure he had another two or three decades' worth of reliable-old-pro roles in him. Goddamn cancer, man.

Speed Racer is a masterpiece.

Well unlike IE this was fully scripted in advance.

The former. Cosgrove's tap dancing alone…

Neither is The Americans but it finally got into the main nominations last year. Perhaps it's naive of me but I think Lynch's stature and the sheer high profile of the whole thing will push it towards recognition. (If the Academy could nominate The Tree of Life for Best Picture and Director, surely the Emmys can do…

I don't remember blinking once. If anything tops it this year, it can only come from the 10 episodes still left.

I think actors themselves choose which episode to submit? Out of those already aired, MacLachlan would be wise to pick the one with the best balance between Dougie-Coop and Doppelcoop.

It's put that way in the end of every hour.

The ballroom set coupled with the B&W reminded me of Last Year in Marienbad, which is maybe the definitive full-length surreal film made before Lynch came around, and, of course, a major inspiration on The Shining which in turn is the first film that springs to mind whenever Penderecki's music is used in something new.

Last week following what would have been her 95th birthday I had myself a Judy Garland marathon, something I wanted to do for a few months. Rewatched For Me and My Gal, which kickstarted my wholly unexpected obsession with her back in March (specifically on Garland's part, I still think the performance of the title…

They had just three weeks to go.

I'll admit that plot/backstory sounds just insane enough to make me want to see it with my own eyes.

The guy Andy was interrogating was simply named "Farmer" in the credits (played by Ted Dowling). "Bing" is played by Riley Lynch who's 24 years old.
