I sinerely hope someone makes him a t-shirt with "I caught the c*nt", and that he wears it proudly (like the t-shirt of him choking out Alejandro on the set of The Revenant)

Thanks! Happy to see this series continuing, by the way.

Heya, Dowd: have you (or anyone else) seen the film that won Best Director that year, Chronicle of the Flaming Years? Someone ripped it to Youtube, but I've only watched a few clips. It's very grandiose Socialist Realism in visual style (with touches of fairy tale weirdness in color and composition), but the most…

Minor, maybe, but he was nominated for an Oscar for it, which was a pretty big deal. I think it's fair to say Half Nelson is when critics first started noticing him, but The Notebook is probably what put him on the pop culture radar.

We just started this week and I'm in complete awe of Michaela Coel.

It wouldn't totally surprise me for a rural, blue collar school to vote their "I wanna be rich and famous" student least likely to succeed, all things considered. But Parton was already a professional entertainer (records, Grand Ole Opery appearances) by the time she was 13, so…

Tammie didn't give up on the lip sync.
Tammie went down in a blaze of cockeyed glory.
There's a big difference.
(I'll still go back and watch that performance when I need a good laugh. Who will ever go back and watch Charlie's?)

Harold Bloom, who's hardly modest when it comes to his abilities to assess literature, says "Of all the poets writing in English in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, I judge Emily Dickinson to provide us with the most authentic cognitive difficulties." She's not easy to understand, at all.

This is what happens when you choose your projects via MadLibs.

FWIW, the post-time-jump arc is the period I've liked best in the comics. They finally start building a world instead of rehashing the same arcs (or wallowing in war). The Big Bad that does eventually emerge is pretty compelling (although that aspect hasn't fully wrapped yet, so it could always fail the landing…

I loved that moment so much I saved a gif of it on my computer.

I mean, he's not that old. He's younger than Jack Nicholson or Harrison Ford.

I didn't realize how dim he was in Game of Thrones because I thought the character was intended to be dim. I haven't read the books.

I think the news is that Amazon picked it up, not that Jenkins has chosen to do this. The project, with Jenkins' participation, was announced back in September.

Haha, Bojack Horseman as his example of "funny" opening credits sequences. "Come for the animated horse, stay for the substance abuse and suicidal depression!"

Ha! Yeah, that's the one.

Also possible, but I thought Colleen's clear discomfort with the situation was prompting Claire to appear extra-ingratiating. Like, "No, I'm having a great time and wouldn't dream of leaving," etc. Then again, muddled motivations wouldn't exactly be a new thing with this show, so…

They explain it later and we both laughed out loud, so maybe they should have left it unexplained.

I guess the scene is funny-ish, but I thought Claire crashed their dinner party because it was clear Colleen was not interested in this quasi-date and it's kinda like not leaving your friend alone at the bar with the creepy guy who insists on buying her drinks even though she doesn't want him. The implications there…
