Also great: watching Toobin effortlessly shut him down

Anybody else seeing Jeff Toobin go apeshit on CNN? It's great.

agreed that Alien > Aliens (a lot)

I've always felt like that ending—and its unearned ambiguity—was a result of the movie's most sincere flaw (aside from all of that accidental homophobia). Were Dr. Chilton to have been a supremely sympathetic character, the one guy who never exhibits an ounce of misogyny toward Clarice, that ending might've been a gut…

Name a more contemptible human being. I dare you.

Only history's greatest monster would keep us alive after a nuclear war.

I think that might be an effect of reading Donna Bowman. (Didn't last week's review lead off with the tape-ripping bit?) She's among the very best TV critics writing today and I feel like we're all watching the show more closely thanks to her.

At least initially, Walt's damage was collateral. Of course, that goes out the window the second he kills Jane.

What Chuck's doing is indeed outrageously dirty, but it's rooted in (semi-justifiable) guilt and fear.

I'm not sure I agree that the show hasn't gone out of its way to humanize Chuck. Remember that gut-punch of a monologue last season where Chuck justified his decades-long antipathy toward Jimmy? Chuck knows Jimmy—knows him only the way a brother could—and seeing his fuck-up brother succeed as a lawyer (of all things)…

I've always felt the possessive for that "Dracula" adaptation belonged more to Ballhaus than Coppola (much less Stoker).

if you don't see the connection, you need to take off the blinders. WAKE UP SHEEPLE

I swear—if we don't find out how Lando got his name by Ep IX, this whole thing will have been pointless.

But it might be a knock off of The Last Movie with Johnson attempting to make a knock off of Return of the Jedi

Also, "Lady in a Cage" is a lot closer to "Wait Until Dark" than "Baby Jane." I'd be hard pressed to call it hagsploitation,

Quick question re documentary shoots.

With its outrageous acting, bizarre dutch angles, and anti-ghost-itron, the movie is pretty fantastic.

The Dubs amendment was not directly inspired by the Alan Kurdi photo. And adjectives are important here: a "change of policy" may be an action, but it isn't a unilateral military action.

This is indeed unique to Trump. The European politicians you're referring to are just that: politicians. As leaders of EU nations, they have experience working within a larger geopolitical framework. The Alan Kurdi photos provoked discussion, not unilateral military action.
