The best parts for me were Bana as Hector (that Achilles/Hector fight is really good) and Peter O’Toole in Priam’s scene asking Achilles for the return of Hector’s corpse. The rest, not so much.

Troy is a film I think about all the time, because it exemplifies what Hollywood does to a lot of great stories, which is having an excellent art department, brilliant casting (Eric Bana as Hector, Brian Cox as Agamemnon, Peter O’Toole as Priam etc.), but tries to shoehorn complex characters into blockbuster…

Your point about letting the audience connect the dots is a good one, although I find it to be a mixed bag in its execution. Sometimes it works, but other times I feel like the scenes that are left out could have been really satisfying or engaging if they were included. I don't mind connecting the dots a little, but--…

don’t be so overdramatic. Just because you think it’s an “A” episode, doesn’t mean we all do. sheesh.

While Peter Riegert has had many roles, I suppose he will indeed always be Boon.

Nooooo not Titus Pullo! One of the most entertaining characters from a super underrated show.  He was also a fantastic Blackbeard, honestly one of the better renditions I've seen.  Fare thee well sir I'm sorry to see you go at only 58.

Isn't that like saying, don't wear a short skirt and you won't get raped? 

No, it is weird and fitting for the New York Times to produce a ham fisted profile for people who like to pretend that they are clever. The article was no more than a bad “on one hand and on the other hand” college essay. It is in no way relevant that she is a mother. That she cares for her dog does not give any…

Because it isn’t CFA’s Christian ownership which raises hackles. Its their financial contributions to discrimination and their No-Sundays policy.

I mean....the point about the outcome and status of other people’s pregnancies is well-taken, but I mean, come on, Chekhov’s pregnancy here. It would be a....curious....storytelling choice to drop this pregnancy on the audience and then for it to have virtually no relevance to the outcome of the story, save some…

Having kids should not be a get out of jail free card. Get a fucking clue.

Of course that’s unfortunate, but surely she considered when having both of these children that she might not be there for a huge portion of their childhood. While Elizabeth Holmes did not commit a violent crime, she still deserves to go to prison because far too many of her class of criminal get off with a slap on…

What would you do with her instead? 

I saw a really good analysis of this yesterday and basically it came down to that Jill Biden obviously meant well but totally stepped in it and came off as a little racist, and rightfully apologized. Folks, she’s a community college professor - “everyone wins” is like her entire career, she’s not a sports person. If…

Does it make me a bad person that I took such joy out of the nonplussed reaction Jade had for Nate? Especially since he was feeling himself after the restaurants manager made such a big deal about him. Her “ I don’t give two shits about you” facial expression as she looked him dead in the eyes was fantastic.

This policy still doesn’t make sense. Why would you give a trophy to the losing team regardless if the team was regular or elite? What's the point of that when the entire team knows they lost? 

Just to be clear, the *performances* were not posthumous. That would be disturbing, even for the film industry.

What does she have for proof about Allen’s actions?

well you can find good breakfast tacos in ANY town in Texas with a sizeable mexican population.  Shit where I live we probably have more mom and pop mexican joints that all other chains combined lol, and were not even near the border.

all of that was so disappointing but the show goes through so many relationships. every other episode it’s a new guy for the straight girls. it’s all so fast paced which isn’t out of the ordinary for such shows i guess? they don’t compare but gossip girl is also so fast paced with storylines. kimberly and canaan are…
