So is Barbara back or what?

Agreed in general, but I'd like to see Miley again on Good Morning Miami.

Only if it's a movie about the Seth Green and Lauren Ambrose characters, 17+ years later.

Me too! Great cast all around with some real standouts like Olivia Williams and Richard Schiff.

That's where you watched one of the best shows of 2014, Manhattan.

I think the only Moore I like is Live and Let Die.

Totally agreed on the caught cliche, and much as I love Skyfall I'm still ticked off that Q immediately plugged the villain's laptop into his network.

Wow, we're totally on the same page.

We're all agreed Moore is the worst Bond, right?

Eh, I think she's just talking about slapstick golden age in general.

Though the ones the Stooges and Marx Brothers had as foils were very, very good (especially Margaret Dumont for the Marx Brothers and Christine McIntyre for the Stooges).

Interesting. I'd have gone with Adaptation for 2002, not Gangs of New York.

Annie Hall is forgettable. Annie. Hall. Wow, that's…I know I want to respect an opinion here. but…wow.

Interestingly, I think Shakespeare has moved past the backlash and people have come around to it again.

Gladiator?

A far better Matt Dillon performance than the movie deserved.

Wow. I just reject the entire premise of not being able to claim a movie is good or bad because it's older and we don't share the same cultural context. Can you imagine trying to apply this to literature as well?

It's an inexplicable win, but to be fair the nominees for that year are *terrible* (outside of The Champ). City Lights wasn't nominated, Frankenstein wasn't and so on.

In the same era as Cimarron, Calvacade and Broadway Melody, you also have things like Nosferatu, Sunrise, Wings and It Happened One Night. They don't get a pass from me because of the time period,

I admit that it's a well-done movie. But my god, it's a fantasy of historical revisionism and Lost Cause buillshit.
