This is the End is an amazing kind of film; it has an insane cast of newly or soon to be famous people, plus great (real-life) tension between two key actors: Jonah Hill and Jay Baruchel (who channels his lack of fame relative to his peers brilliantly). It also lets everyone be bad in a loose kind of way that I’m not…

I was beating the Jessica Williams drum the second Jon Stewart announced he was stepping down.

Agree. She’s the best part of the worst Nolan Batman movie, and Get Smart is underrated.

Want to see Hathaway give another amazing performance? Watch Rachel Getting Married. 

I’ve never understood the dislike for Anne Hathaway.

As good as In Bruges with half the recognition. I love Martin McDonagh but enjoy his brother John Michael just as much. Favorite Don Cheadle role. 

He was the employer of Sam (as his gardener) and presumably had lots of other servants to take care of Bag End as people who had mansions/manors did in the real world at least up to WWII — the reason Sam was always calling Frodo “Mr. Frodo” is because that’s how servants addressed their “betters”. Frodo was very…

Right? WTF was that?  And not only are Teller and Gleeson high-profile, but they also got Jon Hamm and Colin Farrell to show up just for pop-ins.  People want to be on SNL.

PDD sketch had me laughing loudly last night and again when I watched it this AM. Also the Photo Shoot sketch had the crowd consistently laughing. When Gleeson smiles it makes me smile—if you have seen The Guard you know how much mileage he can get out of it..

This is a woman who, multiple times, suggested burning King’s Landing to the ground with everyone in it only for Varys to make an appeal to logic to get her not to. Everything leading up to her “heel turn” was a concession.

Of all the bad faith arguments, the idea that she went bad because she heard bells ringing is the worst faith of them all. Do you even hear yourself? Did we watch the same show?

I lived in the area (SE Wisconsin) during the Dahmer trial as a 13-14 year old.  That was more than enough.

That’s an excellent insight, imo.

She was also very good in The Last O.G.

Proud golf clap 👏🏾 

The Boys coverage tends to focus on Antony Starr and Karen Fukuhara’s incredible performances, but Erin Moriarty has done phenomenal work as Starlight. In the first season her character has to be brutalized, exploited, and silenced but Erin still plays her with agency and driving her own story. That’s a tough line to…

Sometimes the simplest pleasures are best.

How can someone show they don’t know anything about Chris Rock without saying they don’t anything about Chris Rock ? By writing about Chris Rock telling a Nicole Brown Simpson joke thinking this is the ONLY joke Chris Rock has told about Nicole Brown Simpson. If you think this joke is upsetting , Oh boy....

Because she know what her father’s plans are and she’s not comfortable with it.  It’s what she does to deal with her stress.

I got into this episode more than the first one. It was refreshing for this type of show to eschew action and violence and tell a character-based story. Sure, you could say they didn’t do anything new with the story and dialogue, but I was involved because of the actors, especially Paddy Considine, and the breakout…
