Ah I forgot it was Kathleen Turner. I'm guessing different memories of the same scene (and the bad effect). I think you're probably right.

No it's Internet Protocol Man, silly

An now yes I really liked Prizzi's Honour but there's a really bad "special" effect right at the end where, errr, Anjelica Houston is shot in the throat with an arrow and really bad superposition is used to show this

Oh man you have to read DM of the Rings. Actually you should all read DM of the Rings. It's a lot of fun, and Aragorn pulls a lot of really goofy expressions.

I remember little of Voyage of the Dammed, but do remember that ten did the same speech in Midnight and it absolutely did not work, quite the contrary.

Well… Missy has already this series called him out on his sentimental approach to do-gooding: asking how many extra unseen people died because he insisted on rescuing Bill before resolving some immediate danger. I saw that speech here as a response to THAT, and I think it worked well - it was directed at Missy rather…

I'm really not sure about that. I've seen a lot of Marvel movies with big CGI fights at the end, and there's usually a bit more narrative resolution than "I shall destroy you", "boo hoo", "ha ha", "no wait!", "oh shit! <dies>". It was so completely perfunctory - imagine an audience leaving the theatre talking about…

Well no, Gary Nar, or Gary Nuto maybe. See what I did there?

This tale appears to be the whole of Nudeador's missives at present so accessing his disqus pigeonhole permits the retrieval of the epistles in sequence and in total.

No it's bato, batis, batat, batamus, batusi, batant

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellll. I have to admit to feeling dubious about the context of Gone Girl. I mean, you make a movie about the abusive murder of a wife, and it turns out that she is supernaturally manipulative and evil and vindictive and not actually abused at all. It's interesting because it plays into the discussion…

Hold on hold on. Falling Down is a fine example of both the coolness of guns and the primacy of subtext. Sure as far as the plot of the film is concerned D-Fens is the villain. In every other sense in that film, he's the hero, well I'll grant anti-hero protagonist.

"You must come now or you will be late"
"Late? What for?"
"What is your name, Earthman"?
"Dent, Arthur Dent"
"Late, as in, the late Dentarthurdent. It’s a sort of threat you see. Never been very good at them myself, but I’m told they can be terrible effective"

Eastern Promises looked really interesting when it was about a Polish (?) heavy softening with love and changing his life then became less interesting when it turned out he was an undercover cop. So boring.

Can you imagine having that conversation though? Mind you: "You're barred", "Why?", "Because you know what you did".

I listen to David Sedaris talk a lot. It's one of the great things about the BBC that the iPlayer regularly has new series, or replays old series, of his talks. One thing that strikes me though is him calling Hugh his "boyfriend". I've always assume he's a husband but come to think of it I'm not sure he's ever…

or Mike Pence?

Well it wasn't easy to find them. This one seems to have stayed at the top of the front page for a reasonable amount of time, but there've been regular posts this year. Plus the Silly Little Showbiz Book Club, which is really where Nathan's at.

God if he's going to do a Clinton campaign can't he do the 2008 Democratic Nomination run instead? Sure he could talk about how the problems there fed into 2016, but really talk about 2016 now?

I've never bothered linking my AVClub account to disqus. Anyone know how I do it? not that my commenting history is fabulous or anything but I'd like to keep it. I'd really like to be commenting on Nathan's new site, what with me being a patreon and all.
