Along with Ken getting revenge, and Rachel's death, the big takeaway from this episode for me is Peggy briefly thought about going to Paris with Brian Krakow.

"My mother made that!"

If you want to see a great Moss performance pre-Mad Men, one of her first film roles was opposite Fairuza Balk and Harvey Keitel in Imaginary Crimes. Keitel plays a man in the 1950's who devotes his life to get-rich-quick schemes, and Balk and Moss play his daughters (Christopher Penn, Kelly Lynch, Vincent D'Onofrio…

"Stand and Deliver".

It's been a while since I've read Updike's Rabbit books, but there seems to be a little of Rabbit Angstrom in Don, Roger and Pete. For Don, it's how he tries to run from problems rather than face them, for Pete, it's the way he's always dissatisfied with what he has, and with Roger, the way he tries to throw himself…

Wow, I had almost forgotten about The Last Word. I saw that because it was written by Spiridakis, who wrote Queens Logic, a movie I love. I don't like The Last Word as much as you, but it was an interesting try.

Well, speaking for myself, I really didn't like the movie (which is why I avoided watching the show for so long). Granted, I'm going to sound like "that guy" who hates the movie version of a book they love, but the fact is, the movie (a) made all of the townspeople into a bunch of ignorant yahoos, and didn't even come…

So, in other words, there's no possibility that the reason why people like myself don't take the Twilight novels (and movies) seriously has nothing to do with gender, and everything to do with the fact they're abstinence fables, which some of us find repulsive?

Aside from the other films listed above (as well as The Hunt and Post Tenebras Lux, both mentioned in the comments), the other contenders that year include:

I'm not a fan of the movie, but I agree she's very good in that. The one I was disappointed not to hear about was Away From Her, because that's one of the few movies she's made since Moonstruck where she wasn't playing essentially that same part.

Don't forget Romeo is Bleeding.

There's also:

"Cold are the hands of time that creep along relentlessly, destroying slowly but without pity that which yesterday was young. Alone our memories resist this disintegration and grow more lovely with the passing years. Heh! That's hard to say with false teeth!"

The entire movie is like that, and I'd say that's part of what makes it so great.

I thought it was Sousa who said, "Can I borrow your forehead?", not the other way around.

Also like near the end, after they've switched back, and Flash is trying to convince the other League members it's really him;

I had stopped watching Roseanne about 1/3 of the way through the 6th season - with Darlene at college, the balance felt off, and I didn't like Sarah Chalke as Becky - so I missed that Christmas episode. My favorite of their Christmas episodes came in the 4th season, when Roseanne dresses as Santa Claus (and Jackie as…

Finally read Otto Friedrich's City of Nets, which I did find interesting, though of course I wanted more about the movies of the time and less about the city. Also, there are a few novels I've picked up at used sales that I finally got around to reading, like Eugene Burdick and Harvey Wheeler's Fail-Safe, W.R.…

To be fair, that's not a very good example (I didn't like that novel either). Something like High Fidelity or About a Boy, or his screenplay for An Education, or even the uneven but compelling A Long Way Down (the novel; the movie is a piece of shit) shows how he can make that kind of thing work.

He did do Fly Away Home as well. Love those two and The Black Stallion. For some reason, this one didn't grab me as much, but I grant you I haven't seen this in nearly 30 years (saw it in college), so it's time to give it another look.
