Watched the Ted Koppel clip again. That should hold me through another week.

Remember William Windom puttering around with a funny but familiar accent in Murder, She Wrote? I'm starting to think Fargo has more in common with that show, and the whole "cozy mystery" genre than it does with anything noir. There's such a clear line between good and evil as to tempt boredom: the "good" characters…

Quiet. People get freaked when we to talk amongst ourselves.

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

…screaming?

Frank Capra: The Name above the Title

Has anyone seen the system requirements? Will I need a new graphics card to watch these?

Sure. It's just that the film feels so culturally airless…like nothing else was going on, anywhere. So I never understood its status as an icon of the counterculture.

I don't think Sgt. Pepper ever happened in the extended world of this film. Or any phase of the Beatles. Or Andy Warhol, etc. That's always been my gripe. It's like a movie about young people made by old, moneyed adults. "It's like martinis and stockings and William Holden…."

Does Ridley Scott not get Amazon Prime or Hulu? 'Cause this is the third FF movie based on that same event in as many years, after The Phoenix Incident (2015) and The Phoenix Tapes '97 (2016). And based on this trailer, the setup is remarkably similar to both.

Upvoted for taking that bullet.

Shrek's his mule.

I guess I liked it a whole lot more than the reviewer. Specifically:

Warp (and woof) speed?

Prior to viewing The OA, I might have disagreed. But seeing that feyness you describe stretched across 7-plus hours of under-cooked plot…well, maybe it's time to reassess.

What's a "commercial"?

Where's my animated GIF?

At the risk of taking this to a whole new level of reprehensible: the low-fidelity surveillance video, the technology behaving weirdly, her odd movements, and yes, her Asian heritage (her parents were from Hong Kong,) make this footage look like something that could have been taken from a half-dozen J-Horror films…

At the very least, the Cecil Hotel (where this took place) deserves its own Wiki Wormhole. From an actual Yelp review: "Yes, a lot of bad things happened here but its a decent place."

"…the fuck?"
