Right? "The part of the crimes" was really hard to get through. I know Bolaño died before he could edit the book, so I wonder if that section would've been shorter or the book itself. It's a really rough read.

Nah, listen to me. The 2nd season did get better than the first, unfortunately, the resolution was kinda crummy. Not How I Met Your Mother-bad, but you could tell they rushed it to not leave the show inconclusive, the irony is that it ended up leaving a lot of holes anyway.

I think the show did a good job in the 2nd season recreating Juárez and El Paso, but they did have more than a few screw-ups here and there. But I've said it before and I'll say it again: For me, the show is the most sensitive and realistic portrayal I've seen of the border in any medium. On par with 2666 and maybe…

I remember reading in a magazine or something that he wore the sunglasses because he drinks a lot of wine and it reddens his eyes. I feel I've been fooled for years….for years!!!

The wait for this show will leave me enTRANCEd.

I'm expecting a Nazi baby to appear crawling on the roof, turning it's head around.

I really liked it too. It was a very minimalist movie but I liked that a lot, but I can see why it would bother people. It's probably her most abstract film thus far. I really like her work in general but I hated The Bling Ring. despite some really good performances and cinematography, and the usual mood she brings to…

Yeah, basically a longer and Christmas-themed version of the karaoke scene. But I'm not complaining, it sounds like it will be the best Christmas for me since I discovered there was no Jesus.

Pretty much. And sometimes the script or even the movie have everything to be amazing, but if it's released to be amazing, then yeah, fluke.

So Girlfriend in a Coma is actually happening?

Ian Malcolm was wrong. You really need to be more careful around the Finding Nemo submarine. Or at least don't carry any chili.

Same! I honestly like the movie a lot (along with The Weather Man and Rango, I really like Verbinski as a director) but I watched that movie with my middle school classmates and I laughed my ass off at that scene and their reaction. I thought my fondness for the movie came from me remembering their reaction but the…

I really want to see his BioShock movie.

I liked it personally. I actually like Conrad as a writer a lot, I think The Weather Man was massively underrated. That said, he seems to have a fixation with product placement. Fast food chains play a pretty big part in the stories he tells or in the character's lives.

Not so much of a film student cliché, but definitely a cliché with these group of people. You can only take so many unfunny scenes about the same thing from the same group of people. See: The entire filmography of Jason Freidberg and Aaron Seltzer.

I was a Film Studies minor and was a member and president of the student film club here. I'd say things definitely ran the gamut; a lot of food poisoning related comedies, horror parodies, straight horror flicks (including a zombie movie), a lot of Grindhouse-esque stuff (basically Tarantino and Rodriguez are a lot of…

Almost. My teacher right out of the bat said "No zombie scripts" but definitely some road movies involving friends and old people. Other than that, almost everyone else had a fixation with abortion. Even stories that had nothing to do with that ended up being about abortion. Also some really weird rip offs from other…

Not an MFA, but it might as well have been, but maybe it's a living on the border thing, but those were far from the subjects that people wrote about in their stories. Maybe only a handful, and that handful happened to be some of the best stories, and most of them were at least readable. My first screenwriting class…

Does anyone remember the ads for this episode? I remember they kept making references to Independence Day, and because I was a 6 year old who loved Independence Day, I decided to watch the episode. I didn't understand any of it, it went completely over my head and I remember the ending upsetting me because Kang and…
