Teddy didn't "break into his own house" … he broke into Tawney's home … his home is the apartment he sublet that was Amantha's. Truly despicable (and bridge burning and safe-space defiling) on his part, even if he was drunk. He wasn't drunk as he advanced on Tawney claming he didn't want to — forget exact words —…

Yes, I think "Allied" will probably eclipse everything despite it disappointing (from a scale of 6 to 9 out of 10) most reviewers.
My guess is that the election has left most folks exhausted by all the talk,talk,talk and Disney's Moana (or Fantastic Beasts) may take the T-day weekend top prizes … (Fantastic Beasts…

I wasn't expecting a Ken Burns history lesson. I've learned some things and it was mostly interesting (to me) … I didn't recognize probably one-third of the artists or eve know the work of half the artists I did. I was happy for the longer, better explanation of both autotune as a technology and autotune as a social…

I've seen references to this film referencing Brian Jones' drowning (one theory is that it was "accidentally" at the hands of another)… but I realized that Swinton's voice rest and Harry's threat to her recovery echoes John Lennon and Harry Nillson — apparently vocal competition between the two very competitive bad…

I've been watching the PBS series Soundbreaking and enjoying it a lot … speaking of creative types (some of whom are or became filthy rich) having the time and leisure to indulge their vanity in the creation of their art … Rumours was mentioned … and then Tusk.

The ending was seriously rushed and — since it threw all the relationships we'd seen into a new light — did not do the film as a whole justice. It reminded me, annoyingly, of 45 years (yes, bravura acting, but…) which also left the audience to puzzle over questions they were never going to get answers to.
Matthias…

could it be a Who Framed Roger Rabbit? reference … since it was said to Jon wrt to the dozen or so apparently never interviewed witnesses to that evening's party?

My problem with the character is that the only people I have ever known who were that laid-back and casual (and nonchalant about bringing a spring-loaded stranger into their lives) were heavy substance users (usually of the trust-fund variety) which she's not …and she's too old and too preggo to be so "blissfully…

Watched this last night with mixed feelings … First, there's a lot more going on in this movie than any of the reviews I read suggested … The older couple of Fiennes and Swinton completely out-shine the younger kids (the Fiennes' daughter and Swinton's "boy toy" son surrogate) who — the characters, not the actors —…

Teddy was a throwback this episode … but he's trying. At least he realized that his inability to answer Amatha's landlord's questions about Daniel … was another example of his really not giving a s**t about Daniel (or anyone else 90% of the time). Ted Sr. nervously stuck between Janet and Teddy and Teddy's telegraphed…

Much as maniacal Jim Carrey absolutely needed Jeff Daniels …

His impression of Obama cracked me up … I'm not sure I'd heard anyone else do one … but Obama is in fact all.about.the.pauses.
Backstage down-time Hitler schmoozing and flattering his minions also cracked me up …

Watched this last night (election night) and thought it was much funnier than this review would indicate. It's not "side splitting" and it's not mean and there is some plain silliness (among my favorite things). It could have been tighter and/or shorter and a bit more energized, but sure, it was fine way to spend an…

It was subversive and still is … it's not even (safely) playing "subversive" in ways already condoned by its audience — Bill Maher, I'm looking at you …
Mel Brooks, such a genial man, actually creates some "is it really okay that I'm laughing" moments and double-entendres (word play!) that still startle (if the…

I think this movie is magnificent … I am always so impressed by the building of Rosemary's confusion, normal pregnancy related anxiety, mistrust into terror … hate the ending, denouement … less is more … it's like a sledgehammer … but maybe it's that as an atheist, I really get the all the maternal anxiety and…

yes, there were several moments like that this episode … Jared in the tent. I'm not sure I like them, however, in all honesty, this election is making me so irritable and humorless I do not trust my own negative reactions and will have to re-watch.
It is interesting the enormous emotional void created by Daniel's…

Amantha on that country road with the radio turned up high, singing along referenced "Silence of the Lambs" beat for beat … I was terrified for her … and thought her tires had been blown

Yes, I suspect Daniel doesn't even register the constant ebb and flow of anxiety … but I certainly felt it … at the half-way house, wondering if he was being informally booted, if he was now "disliked" or needed to be "forgiven"; at the job, uncertain whether it was really okay for his supervisor to clock-him-out, was…

That movie!! is so bad … I have tried and tried to watch it … I love the cast - except Dicaprio - but even the combined talents of Malklovich, Depardieu, Irons and Brynes cannot make it sing, or even hum. Just sad.

Harold and Maude.
