Meh, it’s a little known secret that in TV, directors are in charge of jack and shit.

This is a show that ,allegedly, killed off Dempsey’s character because he was having an affair and they were all friends with his wife.

I like Dave Chappelle.

My first thought is... I don’t like it? From a pure motion design standpoint it feels like it’s awkwardly straddling the 2D graphic->3D photoreal divide. The stuff that’s most directly ripped from the original title sequence feels the worst, because it loses the dynamism that comes from hand-drawn, hyper-kinetic…

So a bartender is opening up at like 4PM, so the whole place is dead, and a guy walks in. He’s got a suit that could feed a family of four for a decade, and it’s on a body that would put Michael Phelps to shame, and he’s also got a red balloon for a head.

The Albert Fish joke wouldn’t even work if Norm hadn’t been so amazing at constructing sentences and choosing his words. The intelligence intersects with some childish/banal stuff to make the joke, which is not an easy feat at all to pull off. I doubt any other comedian could do it, because you also need to employ that…

Letter 1 seems to be missing a lot of important details. “Three years” of massage therapy turns into a “very close” friendship in just 14 words, and he has confessed to “developing feelings” just two sentences later!

I’m totally one of those boring “Weezer was the most important band for teenage me, but I fell out of love after Maladroit”-guys. That said, I really appreciate this list, for a couple of reasons:

I hope this movie leans suuuuper heavy into the lore set up in the sequels. Give me a whole movie based on the Architect’s speech from Reloaded.

This might be the worst trailer music of all time.

What happened to Gary Cooper, the strong silent type?

Yeah, it’s ticking all the boxes. The insistance that she saved her from himself made me cringe. What a weight to out on her! There’s no being saved from addiction, there’s only recovery, and it's forever. 

Sadly, this is 100% textbook behavior of what recovery therapists refer to as “flight to health”. The grandiloquent epiphanies, entering a serious romantic/sexual relationship, the recovering addict impregnates their the partner, and the addict elevating the partner to savior status are all enormous, post-active addict…

I’m pretty sure the fucking moon crashing into the earth would effectively sterilize all life, so this doesn’t like a disaster movie so much as a “make peace with the impending world-ending apocalypse” movie.

“Hey! Wait! I filed a dumb complaint.”

This whole thing feels like it was made up by the Onion

“I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was 12. Jesus, does anyone?”

“Well nobody’s perfect.” - Some Like It Hot. This screwball comedy ends on an unpredictable high note.

the QUALITY of the Sparks-penned earworms?!?! they’re nothing but dry, repetitive recitative, save for the first song which is just OK but features an excellent staging which Carax ripped off of himself in the shape of the accordion scene from Holy Motors. the music is completely amelodic and arrhythmic for 95% of the…

This interview makes me aware that it is kind of weird that these days for a press junket we sit down every actor separately for anything more complicated than an episode of Hawaii Five-O and we’re like “tell us what every single thing in this show means DEFINITIVELY NOW” and the actors kind of have to answer but kind…
