Yes! Thank you. I used to watch No Reservations but I eventually couldn't take it anymore. There's only so much of his self-appointed sage "I've seen it all, man!" wisdom and "I tell it LIKE IT IS! You know, from the EDGE! Also I like the RAMONES!" eye-rolling insights. I can't imagine the levels of pomposity that…

Somewhere, Johnny Depp sees this, swigs some wine, and mumbles something

I sympathize with him a little bit. Not that I give a shit about Billy Bush, but the whole point of Access Hollywood and similar shows is to kiss the ass of whatever celebrity they're talking to. He was just playing the cards he was dealt in this situation, and doing his job.

Nice. Surely it can't last for more than 3 or 4 episodes at this rate.

Bwuh? Conviction stayed even with its premiere rating? Eh, still a poor number, obviously, but come on, I want those sweet first cancellation points.

Well it's no RuPaul's Drag Race!

I loved Midnight Special. Low key intrigue that keeps you interested and doesn't spoonfeed anything. That and Hell or high water are my 2 favorites of the year, and I just realized that they involve people on the run and on the road through Texas, not sure if that means anything.

Yeah I did some reading around the web on the real life Bruce Johnston gang. Bloody hell. If anything, the movie was being kind to them.

Ha. Or Kiefer Sutherland in decidedly non-Jack Bauer mode.

That song rules when it finally kicks in over the end credits. The entire musical score is based around the main riff/tune so its teasing it through the entire film and then it finally blasts it out.

So why was it good, in a vague-ish way? :) I've pretty much enjoyed all the DC movies so I'm all in, anyway.

Yeah TBH I'd gladly swap it for Notorious or something, but we'll see where it levels off. We don't know where it will bottom out just yet.

At Close Range, which I mostly watched due to a prompt from ZMF. I'd seen it before but could only vaguely remember the gist of it. Man, it's fantastic. I'd forgotten how purely amazing Christopher Walken can be; years of self-parody and over-memed SNL skits have basically reduced him to a goofball icon for an entire…

Quite satisfied with all my picks so far. MacGyver is the worst, though yesterday it dropped again so the luster of its strong premiere numbers is wearing off pretty fast. Pitch seems to have leveled at 1.0, ideally I'd like a drop to 0.8 or so on that one :) Conviction is absolutely DOA. Easy contender for first…

You are right, it would cheapen and dilute the brand. The closest they ever came was commissioning a script for a Jinx spinoff (Halle Berry from Die another day).

"I will be surprised if people see this movie"

Hey, y'all see Quarry? ;)

Yeah and then I stay away - No excuses, brilliant!

That was a comedy, wasn't it? I seem to remember it looking vaguely wacky in the ads. Quarry is more like a cocktail of Banshee, Rectify, and Fargo.

Crisis in Six Scenes' latest episode got 5 comments! (I know because I was one of them…)
