So I'll drop two in that work at different ends of the romance spectrum, in nontraditional ways, because they're what first came to mind.

Well, I admit I've never seen that. But his scenes in Because of Winn-Dixie were good, and he was pretty great in a one-off on House, as much as that was possible given the role. He's also supposedly good in Lake City, though I've not seen that either.

Flipsides to this: Glen Hansard was great in Once. And, uh, Dave Matthews is actually not a bad actor at all, now that I think about it.

I've lived in northern Indiana most of my life, and honestly had no idea Columbus was famous for architecture until I read the movie review here the other day. So I asked my mom when I saw her if she knew that, and she goes "Oh, of course," and proceeded to name various architects with buildings there. She was excited…

The National's Fake Empire still works for me.

I really enjoyed his role and narration in Grand Budapest Hotel.

Chris Thile/Punch Brothers.

So is Master of None not coming back this year, or…

It was filmed in early 2016, and based on multiple elements (businessman/reality tv star, plus posters with slogans like "You wouldn't believe the things I can get away with" (or something like that)) I think it was pretty intentional.

Informant weight Matt Damon looks with Gigli Affleck acting ability, right here.

Though Carl definitely earned a point for how the call ended, the subsequent reveal that Frank was indeed staying at the hotel he mentioned helps even up the score.

The opening to "Me and Your Mama" sounds like it could have played in the background of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, and I'm totally okay with that.

Absolutely.

Sure it got most of the important British actors in there, but I'll never forgive the series for not finding a role for Patrick Stewart.

MPG was also really good on his NYPD Blue run, which I can't believe I remember.

Grand Budapest Hotel stands out for me.

Feels like the next potential Tarantino reclamation.

Yeah, that was the other parallel. Actually an okay Buscemi directed Indie filmed near where I grew up in Strouse's hometown.

So an aspring NYC artist has to return to his middle-American home and deal with a complicated parental relationship and a fuck-up older brother who has two daughters with an ex? So, Strouse just decided to rewrite Lonesome Jim, huh?

Tom Hardy's monologue, and that whole scene together, almost made the whole season.
