    I don't think you understand what deus ex machina is. It refers to a plot point or character appearing out of the blue. It doesn't matter whether you liked the plot device; Hannibal's super sense of smell has been established on the show already, so him smelling Freddy on Will was not deus ex machina.

    And Santorum wasn't even correct, since I believe what Obama said was he he wants everyone to get secondary/additional education past high school, including vocational training or apprenticeships.

    The original car he crashed was stolen, I'm thinking that the Taurus will turn out to be Lester's, and he straight up stole the station wagon. I think it's just a sign that he doesn't play by the "rules."

    Sunday they post totals and rankings based on estimates from the studios. Monday morning, they post the actual receipts.

    Selling a concert film online is a little different though, since concert films don't get theatrical releases anymore. For Louis CK, it was either sell online or have it broadcast on HBO; either way it was going straight to video.

    Upstream Color had a limited theatrical release. I should know, as I saw it in theaters.

    There was a longer cut released in South Korea for this film, about 12 minutes longer. Everywhere else got the shorter "International" cut of the film

    The Daily Show learned about it because they had a guest on promoting a book called Baked Potatoes: a Pot Smoker's Guide to Film and Video. They showed a clip of he film during the interview, another clip was shown as the "moment of zen" for the episode, and shortly after that a looping clip was used as the intro to…

    So you hate this more than Love and Monsters or Fear Her?

    They're basically posing as new mottos for the site, encapsulating the site in some way.

    A problem is that Rosa didn't consistently shoot him down. In the pilot, Boyle asks her to a film festival, and she agrees. She only later cancels the date when he messes up picking out the movies to see; but then she says that she likes spending time with him, which leaves the door open.

    To be fair, on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Charlie's behavior has been portrayed as pretty much straight-up stalking for years now. They're mining humor out of how fucked-up his behavior is, not trying to normalize or excuse it.

    There's vegan ice cream places in NYC. They typically use soy, cashews or coconut as a base. I prefer cashew based ones; the result is still creamy, so I'm ok with them still calling it "ice cream" instead of "frozen cashew butter".

    Fearless is coming out on Blu-ray soon on Warner Archive Collection. It won't be available in stores, only on their site.
