Brangelina, perhaps.

I think Arrested Development more clearly established what kind of show it would be at the outset, which helped it find its audience of viewers who could buy into and enjoy that world. I think The Grinder is running into an issue where what started out as a quasi-grounded show about a small town reacting against a…

I mean, I don't see the point in diagnosing a fictional character, but the kids at the start of the show were clearly already on the way to being whatever-the-hell-they-are. It runs in the family~

Jillian being an Agent Carter-style supervillain hypnotist would actually make a ton of sense right now.

Yeah, I don't know why a lawyer of all people wouldn't follow up on the ethics code for therapists. There's a pretty easy solution to the Jillian debacle.

Agreed the show is off into Bizarrotown, which I actually prefer to last week's "Do the writers hate Stewart?"

The Grinder is doing something bizarre and I think it's not always comedic or funny in execution, but I'll see where it takes me because it's fascinating

Pom Poko moved me to tears in the scene where the tanuki see their past selves. There's just something almost unspeakable in that moment that overwhelms me.

I remember watching this when it aired on TCM and not really liking the protagonist very much, thinking she was pretty fake in her country-livin' attitude, and then being amazed to tears when the finale touches upon that very fact. Only Yesterday is probably one of my favorite Ghibli movies and it sucks that very few…

With as torn up as Bertie was about the whole thing, I was half-wondering if maybe Bertie and him were a thing.

Well, the story did try to lampshade it by saying they're both cool customers. But you're right~

Well, with Bertie's low spirits about his cousin's death, and repeated mentions of the late marquess' "delicacy" and mentions of how close Bertie is to his mother, I was halfway expecting Mary to figure out Bertie wanted Edith as a beard.

Having an older sister who's just like Mary made this episode a very harrowing/satisfying/nauseating watch.

Sounds like the takeaway is that as a horror movie it's very effective, but it has troubling implications.

I just about cried at that moment. Not everyone on Downton Abbey has the power to make me actually feel something, but Molesley is one of them. That moment was everything I want from Downton Abbey condensed.

I've had homeless people hit me up for money, ostensibly for food, and I'll usually offer to buy them something cheap/healthy. Almost every time they'll refuse my offer.

A Cesar will do nicely~

I was first introduced to him through a cinephile friend who had gotten a VHS copy of Possession from the public library and refused to give me any details about it beforehand. Needless to say, I was struck by the intense acting of Sam Neill and then the even more intense acting of Isabelle Adjani. As the story wound…

Yeah, when the article says she's unforgettable in the role, it's not empty hyperbole. I've never seen an actor go THAT FAR before or since. No slight against Sam Elliott, who acquits himself well in the film, but Adjani is like a force of nature.

Phantasy Star II, buddy.
