Now that would be an interesting TV Club Classic…

Well, that's what happens when you lack the ability to form meaningful relationships with living people…

Good god yes - "Huddy" was an abomination so horrible that my brain has clearly attempted to erase it from my memory.

You have to love certain movie goers who have the power to convince studios to make meaningless edits to films. It'd be one thing if these were actual victims, but generally they're the type of sorrow-vampires who have zero connection to the actual event. Because why do anything substantive with your reaction to…

Agreed. Just the first in a long series of bullshit misdirected and/or false emotional displays. Such "sensitivity" is meaningless when these same corporations would just as soon exploit tragedies when they can make a dime off of it.

Regarding two shows TV Clubbers don't much care about -

I'm still unsettled by the Jess/Nick kiss - I like these two characters, I like these two characters together, but even when tv pairings work, the shows often suffer.

I think anyone who still maintians any emotional investment in Glee is pretty terrifying.

I think it has to feel organic to the story told and the characters presented. If all the show has going for it is the "will they/won't they" then it doesn't matter if it's burned off in 10 episodes or stretched for 10 seasons - it gets really old, really fast.

So far I like this well enough. Now that I've seen it, I'm past bristling at it's mere existence given how outstanding the original television adaptation was - this is really more an "inspired by" than an "adapted from/based on" type of piece. Whether or not this works for you, this doesn't feel like it's shitting on…

I'd heard someone mention that Underwood was a Democrat, but I assumed that couldn't be given the original.

I welcomed the anti-hero at first because I have too vivid a memory of 80's and 90's tv that was spoiled because of the need to make characters likeable. But now I think the pendulum has swung too far the other way, and that it's a lazy short-cut to just make a character into an abrasive arsehole and presume the…

I'm an old fogey who likes the old week-to-week - it makes appointment television stand out all the more. It's a bit masochistic, but when I have that pang when the final credits roll, that "NO! I CAN'T POSSIBLY WAIT ANOTHER WEEK TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!!" junkie panic - well, then I know I'm really invested in…

The word "plow" kind of says it all - it depends on the motivation for the marathon. If someone is just chugging through a show just to rapidly and mindlessly consume it the same way they would shovel food into their face without even pausing to taste it, well then, yeah, that's kind of doing it wrong.

Between this and the Daniel Craig article, there's a lot of Fincher hate going around this evening.

I can't tell yet whether I love that they included this or that they are just shamefully robbing from the original…

I prefer "it" as the pronoun for this one.

Just thinking of Love is the Devil makes me feel trippy and off balance…

I'm very fond of him, but a good number of actors/artists I find attractive aren't conventionally handsome.
