Turns out Obama is Cookie Monster.

Come to think of it, Obama also cites Bob Dylan and The Wire as two of his biggest influences. The man has some pretty damned good taste.

She was phenomenal in Sleeping Beauty. She has a Bohemian / indie girl aesthetic that's perfect for a Belle & Sebastian movie.

It's Belle & Sebastian, so I'll allow it. Reading the description, I'm just wondering why I *haven't* watched it yet.

I was telling a friend earlier, I think some day I might have to do a Tree of Life / Boyhood double feature. I'm just not sure if I'm emotionally ready for it.

{ opens the list } Hmmm, I really hope Boyhood is either one or two…

Everyone seems to prefer the first Office Christmas party, but I've always loved A Benihana Christmas and the one where Michael dresses up as Jesus.

"Imagine Lord Of The Rings or Game Of Thrones, but without any rings or thrones or fantasy, just regular people living in the middle of nowhere, struggling to survive."

Turns out, he was the Scranton Strangler.

Wait, what was the non-cannibalistic meaning of that line?

Watching his movies in the order in which they were made, one feels with an increasing sense of discomfort that he's slowly becoming untethered from anything human or real.

That oliphaunt-sliding scene in Return of the King is the single worst scene in the original trilogy, IMO. It made it extremely hard for me to enjoy much of the rest of the movie.

One of the hardest laughs I've had in a while was when I watched CinemaSin's "Everything Wrong with the Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug." He spent 14 minutes explaining what was wrong with the film in painstaking detail, but when he got to the scene with the dwarves melting the golden statue all over the dragon, all…

Still my favorite Hobbit movie.

In fairness, Ben Wyatt isn't a fan of the original Lord of the Rings trilogy.

I would love to see a movie where the heroic underdogs fight off a horde
of sinister producers trying to make more Hobbit movies.

Maybe Crawford likes to quote movies when he's angry.

Same here. The scene where he and Jack are talking about rabbit and it flashes to a man being pursued through the woods was the first indication that Hannibal has begun his career in earnest.

As someone who's never seen any of the Hannibal movies, or read any of the books, I can never tell if Hannibal is actually killing and eating people yet, or if it's just misdirection.

In fairness, those first five episodes of FRINGE were pretty terrible.
