If you're not real,
Then why do I feel this way, lil' babies.
*kissing noises*

An A? Ha, more like AA Dowd. Wait, never mind…

Louise's moments where she grows closer to her parents are definitely my favourite scenes. I love "Spaghetti Western and Meatballs" for the talk in the slide about Louise wanting for her farts to smell like Bob's and Gene's or when Louise says 'Daddy' at the end of "Carpe Museum" and admitting that she might want to

In this economy?

Here goes the heir,
There goes the heir,
Where is Harry Truman?
He's dead in the ground,
He's dead in the ground,
Dead dead dead dead dead.

I'm really hoping Enlightened is number 1. Definitely the best series of the year, if not one of the best seasons of television that I've ever seen. Seriously beautiful. It's a masterpiece.

It was so operatic and lush. Wasikowska was seriously great in it and the visual were fucking amazing. Each scene looked like a painting. I hope it will be re-evaluated in the future and become more appreciated.

I had the goofiest fucking grin on my face the whole way through Frances Ha. I really loved it. It just clicked with me, the way few films do. I just want to watch it again and again.

Well, I've always viewed them as cousins tone-wise. Both are character driven period shows that frequently explore the same themes - female oppression, sexism, adultery, racism, homophobia - and feature sprawling casts. But I think the main reason I compare them is that they are both free from violence and

I really don't care for Ethan or Austin as characters. And I barely care about Scully, if only for the depiction of a gay man in the 50s.

She was so heartbreaking in "Enlightened". Her scene with Tyler when she tells him that she's getting too old to have her heartbroken again, and asking if Tyler is a good guy is so sweet and beautiful. She's so vulnerable and tired and just finally wants to be happy with someone. Damn I miss that show.

I love when she's at the Parisian cinema and asks "When did 'Puss in Boots' start?" She's in the most beautiful city in the world, and she's going to see a children's cartoon - not even from the beginning.

In all honestly, my gift would be The Dissolve. Not that this site isn't great, but The Dissolve is seriously a great website with passionate commenters and excellent articles. It feels like everyone over there really loves the art of film.

Absolutely. Without doubt my favourite show of the year. I don't think I've ever seen something on television that was so beautiful and melancholic.

Midge returning to see Don in season 4 is one of the saddest things the show has ever done. Midge was so carefree and beautiful, tossed aside by Don once he was finished with her. And then to see her fate, an addict and "an artist", it's hard to watch.

I'm still waiting for NBC to finally air Celebrity Homonym.

Absolutely agree in the show not having much of an identity. I can see why people like it, I suppose. It's fun and chill with quirky characters, but I just can't see why anyone would love it, mainly because it feels so empty and insipid. There's nothing to hold on to.

Episode 3 of "Girls" is what actually solidified it for me as something that I loved. Marnie and Hannah dancing to Robyn was such a fun and great scene and seemed to really capture their friendship. They both return home from uneven nights and just let loose.

In my mind, I view the second season as great, but so disjointed. And then going through all those episodes during Erik and Sonia's talk, I realised that they were some of my favourite episodes of the year. "Ray", "One Man's Trash", Boys", "On All Fours" and "Video Games" were just really great and beautifully shot

Although I'm a "Girls" fan, I do agree about the friendship angle. Marnie and Hannah's friendship seems like the true love of the show, and yet it was almost completely avoided during the second season. Even if they had become friends again by the end of the season, it would have made sense structurally and as a
