Part of me saw it as Horace fixating on the unspoken "what" hanging in the air. The only reason they changed the topic to talking about Presidents to begin with is because Horace begged Sylvia NOT to tell (with Jenny concurring), but it's undeniable that there's now a big WHAT hanging there. It seemed, at least to

Pusher (I) - classic
Pusher (II) - very good
Pusher (III) - very good
Bleeder - never saw it
Bronson - super-silly & -overrated
Valhalla Rising - overrated; boring; hyper-serious
Drive - pretty good
Only God Forgives - underrated, but still not very good

Haha, it wasn't that you couldn't SEE them, it was that they were so clearly (at least to my eye) CG'd-out, which kind of annoyed me (& also made me picture Noah Emmerich hovering over the monitor yelling "Yeah—no, how about we do just one more take!").

You might be disappointed, then, to hear that Andy Serkis is directing the unfortunately-titled JUNGLE BOOK: ORIGINS, which aims for a more-authentic adaptation of Kipling's work, in which he also will play Baloo, & which apparently is working-towards what Serkis is calling "unprecedented level of psychological and

But Stan's got missing-son syndrome & Henry's got missing-dad syndrome ! They're too P'z in a P.O.D.

I tend to disagree. I feel like this show is very much about balance, first of all, & if Martha is in distress (having panic attacks & all that), the humor transfers elsewhere, which makes Yung Hee a welcome & far from unpleasant presence. Furthermore, & this could be just me, but I find Yung Hee's sort of humor to

Actually, they revealed the reason pretty quickly, but in-passing, & then took a very long while to let Elizabeth become a small but crucial part of her life, gain her deep trust, help her, & then dangle the bait right in front of her face, so that she (her "sponsor") was the one asking for permission to give up her

This was the first episode of The Americans that felt like filler to me. Maybe it's because I'm used to watching them in five-to-six episode bursts, & this was my first time watching a single episode, but it just felt so…empty, & light. & personally, I hated the use of 'Under Pressure,' it felt cheap & staid. That

100% agree. Shows have to prioritize what they choose to show, giving the audience just enough of the picture that we can reasonably assume the rest of it. Which is why it's so baffling why most TV shows & movies tend to waste that time with sexy time imagery (I get it, people like to see sex on-screen); but sex is

Okay so the episode ended & that cringe-tightening-hand-shaking-feeling came back again, maybe worse this time. Fucking Chuck!

So I'm only halfway through the episode but I had to stop for a second & catch my breath. Jesus.

This is the funniest Tim Heidecker record yet !

Every joke in this trailer is the definition of lamp-shading.

Anyone else see a big crimson-red SPEECH BUBBLE on the floor ? Maybe it's pure coincidence (probably), but it's serendipitous in a way. This is her final statement: nothing, to nobody.

Because the script is like less than 10% of what made that movie so damn good. The director, cinematographer, & cast came together to transform an otherwise fairly-routine script into a brilliantly self-aware cinematic parable about the implicit impotency of a capital-P-Protagonist's arc.

No. No. No. No. No.

THIS.

Ok so…are we still pretending that MOON was a really super great & clever moviefilm ? Cosssssss it wasn't. It was superrrrr cheap-looking, meandering, poorly-paced (gosh, ANOTHER crossfade ??) & some of THE WORST (seriously) fake-typing I've EVER seen in a movie, period.

It's crazy how much a simple line like “gotta get home to my kids" can go so damn far to filling-out a character. I know it goes without saying, but there is SUCH great writing (&, of course, acting !) on this show.
