I'm not sure why it was overlooked. It was pretty badly marketed from what I remember, playing up "action" in a film with basically none. I wonder if that kind of subject just isn't something that the international audience are interested in? Reminds me of a wonderful little film called "Mickybo and Me" which deserved…

He directed a great film called "Five Minutes of Heaven" which, although it deals entirely with Northern Irish sectarian conflicts, is fantastic if you understand the basics of that situation.

Your face

Yeah, but Little Britain has been aired there.

Weird story: "hopping" is a sometimes Irish slang that is a synonym of "minging" (and also of "angry" but whatever, context matters). So I read this genre as the "minging" vampire movie. Which assumption the lead photo did nothing to dispel.

I haven't listened to this album in about 12 years now, but it's still indelibly etched in my memory…

I tend to agree with you. I think they've been rather unambitious in their editing choices this season (and probably the entire series), but I kind of see-saw between whether this is an effective choice to subconsciously re-enforce the isolation of each character, or whether it's just a bit…well…lazy? I know these…

This is essentially why my TV subscription is basically just a doorway to FXNOW, HBO GO, and other streaming services. I have an Xbox One, and I just tell it that I want to watch "It's Always Sunny" and I pick between FXNOW for new episodes or Netflix for older stuff.

So Simmons really would have said "P2"

P1 through P7 for Primary school then First Form through Upper Sixth (Form) in Secondary school. Officially they're called Years 1 through 13, though I think most people still use the older way because that's just what everyone is used to.

YES. I was very pleased to see a life-ending conversation between two TV characters that was entirely scientific and secular AND poetic at the same time. Refreshing.

Don't worry, 24 is back!

I don't exactly know why, but I've caught this numerous times on TV over the years since release and I like it more each time. I think it's the depth of the character work and great acting from the leads (and that includes Sam Elliot) that makes it so enjoyable over repeat viewings. Also, while people complain about…

They should have a show where there's a different guest host every night, but the guests are ALWAYS THE SAME

Great post! I fully agree. It was just that this scene felt so raw and real, that it just completely reset my expectations for the level that the show could operate on. It was almost as harrowing to me as the last scene with Two Face in The Dark Knight.

Regarding (b) if it makes you feel a little better, it was almost a direct copy of a scene last year when Oliver breaks up with Laurel, in fact the last words she uses are (I think) exactly the same. It's another echo of how Sara is in the same place this year as Oliver was last year. It made me understand the…

I was going to say that the episode reminded me very much of 'Baelor' in a way. Lulls you into a false sense of safety, then cuts your bloody head off.

Yep, hands over my mouth for the entire thing here too. I can't tell whether it's because I'm just really forgiving of Arrow, but it felt like a seriously, seriously intense scene to me, probably entirely due to the acting of all involved. Incredible, heartbreaking stuff.

Genuinely shocked. Partly because I didn't think Arrow was capable of that (outside a season finale). Partly because the episode fairly hinted that Moira might die early on, but then the main threat subsided and everything was safe again. It's been many years since an episode of TV affected me like that, and it was on…

So recent it hasn't been released in the US yet :(
