He's my favorite non-living filmmaker, and Paths of Glory is tied with 2001 for my favorite movies of his. One of the few people in cinema to almost consistently create masterpieces, one after the other.

Is this your classier way of saying "The Killing kicks ass and Killer's Kiss is hella boring"?

The first half an hour of this drags a little, but after that it steadily gets better and better. I was blown away by the time it ended. Kubrick directed other movies before this (some shorts and a couple of features), but The Killing is probably the earliest entry in his filmography to prove that he could make a…

He was definitely the best part.

I was really skeptical about seeing them play in a huge theater at first. Theaters, to me, feel too formal for rock music and stifle the spontaneity and community usually present in a smaller club space.

Allison Williams has always been the weakest actor on the show. Some of her line readings make me cringe, they're so bad.

I got the same vibe. When he got out of the car to hike, I was thinking that part of it was to get a break from being stuck with the girls in the car, but part of it was also in protest to pull an addict out of rehab before she finished treatment.

You know, I really hope they put enough fuel in that plane. Otherwise, they might have to initiate an emergency landing on Avery Island!

I never saw them when they were first together, but what you described (heavy, loud and fast) is what I saw when they played here last night. Only about two-thirds of their setlist was stuff from the two studio albums, and a lot of that didn't sound like it was straight from the record (it was often WAY more…

That's how I felt, and I just saw the band play last night. Some other people who saw both solo and full band shows were telling me that it was better, but honestly, they were very different shows that felt equally powerful. Solo Jeff was very intimate and spiritual, and NMH was like a crazy party. Both shows were…

Man, Tako was an awesome character. "It's with a K. I can tell when people think it's with a C."

I'm not sure if we've seen any of her writing at all except for the rushed piece about a dead chat room guy that she reads at her old professor's get-together. In that episode, the professor says that the piece he wanted her to read was great, but the only real evidence of that we have is that Marnie hates it, and…

Really? Because Adam came off as an abusive dick at the beginning of the show. It took me at least half the season to warm up to him.

Or the egalitarian, considerate type. When Hannah tells Adam that he needs to change because he's in a relationship, you get a sense that she completely doesn't expect that street to run both ways.

Her speechless response to "I hate Halloween" killed me.

I thought it was a beautiful, daring episode. Daring not because of nudity or Hannah briefly landing an attractive older guy, but daring because it halted the entire series for one episode to explore a fantasy that ultimately fails as soon as reality rears its head.

To be fair, Kirke was also great in Tiny Furniture. I think it just took until now for the writers to give enough of a shit to do anything with her character.

I could feel him wishing with all his might that his body would just fade away into nothingness. It was beautiful.

"Well, art doesn't really imitate life (or shouldn't)."

Hannah's clearly very willing to take abuse from the people she loves, though. I wouldn't be surprised for there to eventually be a point where Hannah has grown too much to deal with Jessa's bullshit, but right now she's still operating under the belief that Jessa is someone she needs to take care of.
