I only separated the two because I've not yet visited any of his Spanish language films. I keep meaning to watch Pan's Labyrinth, but I never do.

No, I'm totally down with more Caligula in Del Toro movies. That would have at least made Pacific Rim less boring.

I trust that any door a Trump is guarding is one I have no need to go through.

It's not that I don't think he's done anything good, although most of his projects in English are just shit. Hellboy was probably the best, but #2 was mediocre, and Pacific Rim is brain numbing. And the less said about The Strain, the better.

So more Caligula?

I enjoyed the first Hellboy, but didn't find it to be a great movie. And the second one was just meh. Rarely has so much energy been expended to hail someone as mediocre as Del Toro. Although I guess JJ Abrams is right up there.

I've still got to get to Fargo, but I'd agree on Leftovers, which I'm just getting into S2 now. Really love that show.

JESUS IT WAS A FUCKING JOKE.

It could take a long time to know. I rewatched the original series this year, and I'd say TV dramas as a whole didn't catch up to it until the last ten years. There were the odd show here or there, especially on HBO, but otherwise your average drama still didn't look anything like Twin Peaks until very recently.…

Imagine how many pictures of Alfie Allen's cock they probably got.

That you think there is a parallel there is pretty hilarious. Call me if Confederate portrays 2017 America as a technological backwater that cannot even feed itself.

You can make the smartest movie in history and be neither a genius nor a trenchant critic of your own work. Being a great director is not remotely correlated with being an intellectual heavyweight.

I didn't disparage him as a director, thanks very much. The guy has done amazing work. But that doesn't make him an intellectual giant. And pretty much no one is the definitive arbiter of their own work. So maybe engage with the point here, which is that Crystal Skull is one of the worst pieces of shit anyone has…

It's not like I was about to nominate Steven Spielberg for a MENSA membership before this.

I'll be more than willing to look at the show with open eyes once it is made, but let's not kid ourselves to think that it's remotely plausible that we would still live in a modernized world with institutionalized slavery 200 years later. To think that's plausible is to ignore essentially all of human history before…

I'd be happy to give it a pass.

I can see the frustration with the past few episodes, and I've even felt some myself. But at the same time I am incredibly entertained, and I'm won over entirely by the consistency of the show's style. Twin Peaks in 1991 was unlike anything that had ever appeared on television. Twin Peaks: The Return in 2017 is…

On the one hand, I don't like to pass judgement on offensiveness before I see something.

Billy is John Justice Wheeler, but Sherilyn Fenn got confused and kept calling him Billy. I'm going with that.

Bingo. I turned to my wife as Jerry ran towards camera and croaked out, "It's …"
