My 2016 TV watch list, a monument to my discerning taste…
Omission is judgement.

Just have to say, as far as superhero flicks go, I liked B v S quite a bit, I prefer the grim arty darkness to the bloodless CGI, meta mugging, and never funny "jokes" of the MCU, I find that shit kind of insulting actually. It also looked great.

Well, Chairman, you are correct, I watched Quarry and it was "pretty good and correspondingly a crushing disappointment compared to the magnificence of Banshee." Still though, it made my year end best of list. The well curated period grime of Memphis circa '72 and the convoluted Dixie mafia intrigue show a lot of…

When I read your post was literally when I found out about the trade because I had been scared to check ESPN after the Nats talks yesterday, and I needed to vent some steam. I understand that Machado and Kopech are considered top 20 prospects in all of baseball, and the other two are also well regarded, but Chris Sale…

I am a life long die hard White Sox fan, and I can barely contain my rage right now. Who trades one of the best pitchers of his generation with a super team friendly contract to a team in the same league for fucking prospects? The best case scenario, a few years down the road this Kopech proves to be a solid,…

I initially blew off this show because I love PKD and the show sounded pretty mediocre. I relented because there isn't shit for good TV lately, and it does actually have a lot of good elements, it's alright. The frustrating thing is it could be better, and every episode has two or three moments like you mention, that…

I love me some crazy bitches, just sayin'…

I couldn't believe they dropped DVD reviews, that last review of Dr. Strangelove had 1000 or more comments, granted that's Strangelove, but even still, this site clearly has an audience eager to read about and discuss classic films, and I have found so many of those helpful to then find another film or director or…

Lighten up, Paul. Rhona Mitra topless totally justifies Hollow Man.

a cloudy lining? I mean, so many words in the language and ways to combine them, but I have to question that one.

Caught this along with The Innocents on TCM last week, great stuff. In honor of Jack Clayton being a rather unsung director, I then queued up Something Wicked This Way Comes for a rewatch along with The '74 The Great Gatsby, haven't read good things about it, but why not, it's on Netflix.

I think Ignatiy is good film critic and enjoy his writing, best on this site by a mile. While I don't always agree with his assessment, I find his criticism to be generally well observed, but I just don't understand his harsh take on this film at all. I just rewatched this now that it's on Netflix and I enjoyed it…

You Bastards! You killed (that anonymous old font I kinda liked) Kenny!

Caught this on TCM last night, a masterpiece, it's great to see a film that lives up to and exceeds its reputation. Every frame is perfectly composed and informs the story, the sophistication of the tracking shots, the performance of Tatyana Samoylova, a beautiful movie

The Pussy Grabber in Chief

As a pearl clutching little girl in a pinafore dress, I too would like to state unequivocally my mental distress at all this nudity. The sight of adults performing professionally of their own free will in a semi disrobed state in a work of fiction…, what of their souls yearning to be clothed as God intended? It also…

Hear here brother. I mean, I like food. I'm sure, you like food, hell, everyone in my experience likes food, so it's the click baitiest of click bait, and it's the reductive uncritical mezcal and bacon infused turd of it all that pisses me off. I work in the fine wine and spirits beer business, I love me some gourmet…

One of favorite films period, love this movie.

I just watched it on Netflix, was surprised to find it there. I can't say it's among my favourite Kurosawa films, considering the really high quality of his work, that's not a criticism, but it's still a hell of an accomplishment; it is beautifully staged and photographed, with incredible scale and locations. a…
