Up until the last two minutes, I thought it was the best episode yet. We got a mini challenge, Ru visiting the queens in the workroom, six consistently fun infomercials, the most successful runway so far this season, and two killer lipsynch performances. And then Alaska, after generously congratulating the two bottom…

You're right, clever casting! It also helped to have Hollywood heavyweight Joel Schumacher as director to throw off the audience.

While I can't speak to the white-male paranoia of "Disclosure" since I haven't seen it, I do want to stick up for "Falling Down." As that cover of Newsweek suggests, FD hit a nerve when it appeared in 1993, with most critics & viewers either lambasting or praising the film's supposed defense (D-FENS) of aggrieved…

Are you referring to the photograph shown at the end of the movie? I got the feeling that something was significant about it but (like you) couldn't figure out what it could be. I appreciated the odd & unsettling vibe of the film throughout, but wished the director had stuck the landing better.

Did anyone else get a "Skippy from Family Ties" vibe when looking at Thorgy Thor out of drag?

I saw this at our local film fest last month & it's a real stunner—totally unique animation (more like a collage at times), a simple yet compelling story (no dialogue is needed), one amazing image after another!

Glad to see "Look of Silence" make the shortlist—absolutely devastating & more focused than "Act of Killing." Its horrific relentlessness, though, will probably prevent it (like its predecessor) from winning. Given the Academy's recent track record with music-themed docs getting the top prize, my money is on "Amy"—a…

what about a trailer that not only contains no scenes from the movie, but no actors from the movie? I give you the "Minus Man" trailer, which I still remember more vividly than the film itself—sheer brilliance!

Well, she did sing "Sooner or Later" (from Dick Tracy) which won an Oscar for Best Song, but I guess Sondheim (as the composer) got to keep that award for himself

HIghlight of "The Goldbergs" finale: the mascot's mouth getting blurred when Barry curses—sheer brilliance!

Visage, "Fade to Grey" (1980) and Kelly Osbourne, "One Word" (2005)

The final 45 seconds of "Enemy":

As I recall, this was Disney's very first PG-rated film—quite a shift for the kid-friendly company. Yes, that hellish ending pleasantly freaked me out as a kid too, as did the scene where Anthony Perkins gets gutted by Maximilian's rotating blades!

First a review of the Nashville DVD, now a break-down of the powerful final scene in Umbrellas of Cherbourg—two movies in my all-time Top Ten list, Christmas came early this year!
