If I didn't already think Olyphant had impeccable taste in scripts, following up Justified with what he did on The Grinder would have sold me. Worried about getting typecasted, plays a version of himself that would immediately take a job playing another morally ambiguous (and presumably unkillable) good ole boy in a…

I love that scene, especially with regards to how that dialogue changed in the book-to-film transition. Because onscreen its this big romantic moment where he admits he loves her and finally kisses her….and in the book it was "I WANT you more than I've ever wanted any woman; and I've waited for you longer than I've…

I feel you here. I was watching it and seeing so much of my parents' marriage. My dad has Parkinson's and the speed at which it's deteriorated his mobility, balance, logic is something that my mom obviously struggles which, as well as trying to hide her frustration with him.

With that intriguing line from Dr Linda and Ella reaffirming her criminal past…Are they deliberately constructing a circle of good people ( or sympathetic characters, at least) who are all convinced they belong in Hell? Dan certainly wears his guilt pretty heavily. And if so, is Chloe the exception to that?

Rated 82 and 90% fresh, respectively. I think they're great if you ignore the humans who are pretty one-dimensional in comparison to the apes

It worked for The Wolverine? And they have no ideas except to copy MarvelImeanFox in dull ways?

Were we?! I never heard anyone getting harsher than 'Clearly an actual robot'

Everything? As in she never went to Siam at all, or just made up the whole "and then the king fell in love with me, westernized all his country's laws, but then he died before anything happened between us!" thing

Wow that ex-lover montage got obnoxious real quick!

"They just didn't care!"

Yeah that was one of the weirder movies I've seen. It looked beautiful though.

"You ruined everything…my career, my marriage…my snacks!"

So apparently the way to fix the Marvel problem of no real stakes; no actual danger is to do a side story on an established franchise wherein anything can happen as long as the new characters do the thing that makes the original plot go?

I'm just amused that they're already at Bye Bye Birdie. They did that one the last time they made a bunch of TV musicals, too. Fingers crossed for yet another made-for-TV Rogers and Hammerstein Cinderella!
Not that J.Lo as Rosie is a bad idea…

I clearly need to plan a little culinary tourism and drink my way through India. I looooove my tea, and am very particular about my chai…it should taste like Christmas. That's a spectacularly unhelpful description, I know, but it mostly means cloves.
Dunkin Donuts, BTW, does a much better chai than Starbucks.

I am!

Funny Games…I just wanted those guys to shut the hell up. It's…tense…I guess, and the rewind gimmick is a little bit heartbreaking…but mostly, I found it annoying.

And you can't even tell yourself "This isn't real, it's just a movie"

It's because of that very point about the Exorcist (i.e. 'its only disturbing if you're very Catholic') that I watched it alone, while housesitting, at night…
