It's funny that you chose that (seemingly) random photo, because if Belgium wins tonight (most likely), USA's up against Fellaini & Co. in the next round. Even though Belgium's my home country, I wish all of you Americans good luck!

Actually, my neighbor, who worked the camera on Parade's End, met Cumberbatch and said he was a really nice, down to earth guy.

its.

Thanks a lot! I did recognize the similarity to Füssli's famous painting, but was unaware of the other resemblances. It also explains the German words they used ('kaput', 'ich bin', 'wir sind').

'Much' longer? It's a novella, which makes me doubt you've even read the thing in the first place. Furthermore, it's fucking brilliant. Fuck you.

The batch of newcomers is quite a mixed bag to me. Domhnall Gleeson was absolutely magnificent in an episode of Black Mirror, but that's pretty much all I've seen from him. Both Oscar Isaac and Adam Driver were great in Inside Llewyn Davis, but Driver only had a bit part in that, and, to me, he wasn't very convincing…

For the next (and, hopefully, last) season, Kevin Williamson should just fully embrace this show's ridiculous depiction of violence and ludicrous excuse for a 'plot' in a 'Grand Guignol meets slapstick' manner, and change the title to 'Stabstick'.

It's a bit strange that most of 'Spun''s cast is mentioned, but Debbie Harry, who played a pretty big part, isn't. Just sayin'.

Everybody seems to forget his great performance in 'Matchstick Men'.

I totally agree, and your comparison's only fitting, as Cage's last truly great role before 'Joe' was in Herzog's 'Bad Lieutenant - Port of Call New Orleans'.

Let me tell you, I wouldn't be skipping anywhere after somebody put some goddamn confetti on my free ice cream.

Gabriel Byrne in End of Days—What am I doing here?
Rodney Dangerfield in Little Nicky—Well, Rodney Dangerfield.

I also watched it as a kid, and recently gave it another look; for me, it holds up exceptionally well, as I still love this movie.

Literally the only thing those two movies have in common is the use of a piano, so your comment doesn't make sense to me at all.

'Spiders' is also a very good read, but way less filmable than JDATE; you'll understand when you've read it. And I agree with you about Cracked doing badly lately; especially Felix Clay is an awfully unfunny writer.

I myself wrote a 'novel' when I was 23; upon rereading it, I wisely burned the only copy.

Oh, hi there and willkommen; I'm from Ghent! Anyways, I understand your pain, as I used to lead a demo listening team around these parts; I assembled a small group of musicians of all tastes and genres, and we had to give feedback to some truly godawful demos people sent to the record label I was working for. My job…

I'm from Belgium of all places, so I think it's okay for me to say: I'm really glad we got rid of all the non-English speaking murderers on this show. It was a contrived and clichéd way of giving this unholy mess of a show some sembling of 'international class', and furthermore, those characters were just plain…

It's okay, but not really 'bucket list' great. Just make sure you're both coked up, or things might get, erm, scary for one of you.
That girl really started to freak me out after a couple of hours.

I think Cherlene's no-fly thing's a reference to all the famous singers who've died in plane crashes - in the case of female country singers, probably Patsy Cline.
