The best was always when one clone impersonates another and Tatiana leaves just enough to show it. One can never get an accent right or different walk, it's sheer genius giving a performance of a performance of your own performance.

The final Forgetting They're All The Same Actress: Taking a moment to realize it's one of the clones Delphine is talking to at the end.

And of course, the nuts are out claiming the "supremicists" were "paid off by the Dems to pretend to be Nazis to make Trump look bad." And folks believe it.

Seriously, there's a whole You Tube channel just waiting for "acting opposite green screen" stuff.

They did try in first season though. They then figured, "ah, screw it."

For the love of God, tell me it's gonna be like Ed Wood, someone trashing about with a plastic tentacle on them. I love this show.

Oh man, we totally need a "Zoo without the CGI" cut.

Ah, good, plenty of good stuff.

Like the show but annoyed to hear season 3 jumps right to Charles and Diana. I get it, folks love to fawn on Diana and such but still a lot of material to cover.

To all those complaining about L.A. Confidential being way too low, just remember this:

Ultimate one has to be Glengary Glen Ross. Mamet meant for the "Always Be Closing" speech to be everything wrong with corporate America and treating its workers. He couldn't believe it when actual salesmen came up to say how much they loved that scene and their bosses using it to inspire them.

My grandfather had just finished tour in Germany, would have been sent to the Pacific.

"The fate of billions rests upon you." Laughs then sobers. "Sorry."

So picks for the worst of 97? In no order….

Ugh, forget that Silence omission, still blows me away.

Dear lord, do I love Face/Off. It's hammy acting that works as Cage and Travolta have a blast imitating each other. The shootouts, the Woo tropes (coats flapping in wind, pigeons, gun battles as ballets), it all just works and thanks to those great actors, it somehow makes a bizarre sense to be his best Hollywood work.

Starship Troopers still remains one of the greatest examples of what TV Tropes calls "misaimed fandom." It's totally anti-war and anti-facism but folks see both totally in it. Not to mention that to this day, folks STILL don't get that humans are meant to be the bad guys.

The Blu-Ray of Titanic does remind you of the sheer amazing gall Cameron had making the movie and getting it to work. The big "Making of" documentary is great with notes on how it came, Cameron just so determined to get it going no matter what and somehow having faith it would work.

Wow…I mean…No Good Will Hunting? I mean, love Face/Off, Confidential and Titanic but really, Good remains a great movie with amazing performances.

The only good bit of Annihilation is Sandra Hess is much more believable as Sonya than Bridgette Wilson. Shame the rest was crap.
