Try not to betray any gods on the way through the parking lot!

I mean… was active combat one of those settings?

It works a lot better if you just look at the film as a metaphor for what it feels like to suffer from severe depression with suicidal features. Only superficial connections with those around you, people you cared about dropping out of your life one by one. People who seem fine one day are gone the next.

This is ridiculous. During the Cold War the US and Russia shot down each other's planes on at least 18 different confirmed occasions between 1950 and 1970, and (fucking obviously) not one of those led to war.

David Milch is another one who stands out as literary. I remember reading the transcript of a round-table by several of HBO's biggest showrunners, and he was clearly thinking about things far more deeply than any of the others—which Deadwood clearly reflected, in comparison to, say, The Sopranos.

Phil Hartman as Charlton Heston doing the audiobook to Madonna's "Sex."

Carpenter dramatically overreacted to a subjective perception that wasn't even an insult, but it's understandable that he's protective of his work.

I really loved his character in John Ford's "Two Rode Together," with Richard Widmark. A genial but corrupt lawman sent to negotiate with the Comanche for captives because of his history illegally selling them guns. It's probably Ford's least favorite of his own films, but I found it both charming and tragic in…

It makes me sad that there's no mention of Mark Lanegan, Josh Homme, or PJ Harvey. They may not have the name recognition of Eddie Vedder or Chris Cornell, but were every bit as important to the music of the era.

Cheers for Devin Townsend. He's one of a handful that keep me interested.

A cursory Google search returns a good number of results from the US and the UK. Jay Cheshire, suicide by hanging. Ian Adams, suicide by hanging. Daniel Devennie, suicide. Tom Acton, suicide by hanging. Graham Smith, suicide by jumping from bridge. Brian Banks, five years in prison. William McCaffrey, four years…

Haven't seen anyone mention Maria Hill as a possibility for the new director, nor Tony Stark. Which is odd, given what the power structure of SHIELD was during the Civil War arc in the comics.

SHIELD was shown in Winter Soldier to have Stark's repulsor technology, as it was the propulsion system for the helicarriers in the film.

Holy shit, I watched this episode just last night!

Scar is scarred up because now that it HAS died so many times, it is surviving multiple engagements that would have been fatal to newer raiders. You would think this would be obvious.

"What, fuckhead? Badly is an adverb—who taught you grammar?"

Certainly no philosophical pretensions from the writer/director of Waking Life, no sir, none.

It's pheromones in the comics: in the show, it is a virus. And in the comics, it is only verbal commands that his powers of persuasion work with, so no, playing charades wouldn't be enough to keep a bullet out of his face. Regardless, given that we see that the sealed room works to contain Kilgrave, it's obvious…

Exactly. You can be sure that Linklater himself doesn't feel that way, but filmmakers are almost invariably more open-minded than film consumers.

I mean, pretty sure Agent May would have just put in a pair of earplugs and shot him in his mouth.
