It's on!
What struck me upon rewatching the second episode is how remarkably self-assured the series seemed, especially considering that there was nothing else like it on television at the time. So many of the supporting characters, like Sil and Paulie, emerge fully formed, as if we just happeedn to drop in on the…

She's somehow way hotter now than when she was on Friends. I don't watch it, but I enjoy those Cougar Town commercials.

I'm with sarCCastro. I don't know how this movie wasn't more roundly panned, and the only thing I can come up with is that it has Scorcese's name attached. It was an overwrought mess, a silly twist in search of a story. It doesn't hold up to close scrutiny at all. One of the biggest disappointments of the year.

Overkill
He's really trying to milk this, but the character only works in limited doses.
I'm speaking of course of Tom Cruise. Time to retire that whole schtick, guy.

I also saw Funny Games first and I loved it. So, I guess you're right Scott.

Seinfeld!
Seems to me, that button is in the worst possible spot.

Ugh
I honestly think these parents are just as bad as the ones who got that two year old Indonesian baby hooked on cigarettes. Why is this sort of thing perpetuated?
Leonard, I've never seen this show. What's the tone that it strikes? Does it condone this garbage by glamorizing it? Because that would make it part of…

I'm all for this because I love Donald Glover on Community and I couldn't care less about Spiderman, but people acting like changing race is no big deal doesn't really make sense to me. I'm a person of color and the idea that race doesn't really matter is part of that ignorant "colorblind" rhetoric perpetuated by…

I'm with you wallflower. In every other movie, he is that cowardly guy that you're supposed to hate. Yet it's impossible to in the film because he's not that caricature. The fear that consumes him is completely understandable. We'd all like to think we can be the hero, but I certainly don't know how I would act in…

Fuck yeah
I'm more excited for classic tv club than I am with the current lineup. Why do I get more excited to revisit old favorites than watching or talking about new shit?

Also for the hell of it, why not connect it with another mystery. Maybe women couldn't have babies because Jacob was trapped in the cabin? We know that before 1977, they were able to because Ethan was conceived and born on the island. But at some point after, the cabin was built by Horace, Jacob was trapped and the…

Blair Witch Project
I still think it's a good little film even though that's an unpopular opinion now. It has one of the scariest scenes I've ever seen. Actually, not even a scene; really it's just the shot at the end of the guy facing the corner while the girl is screaming. I've always found it deeply troubling.…

25th Hour
I really like this movie and was glad it got some love on end of the year lists because I thought it had been forgotten. The Fuck everything scene, and the incredibly moving ending are both standouts.

The standout scene in The Shining for me is the beginning of the climax. Wendy is lying down trying to rest and Danny gets up, picks up the knife and starts to scrawl Redrum on the door. Then Jack begins to use the axe on the door, Wendy gets up and sees MURDER reflected and runs into the bathroom. Then of course, the…

ooh Phoebe Cates! But I'd say her quintessential scene for me is climbing out of the pool and taking off her top in Judge Reinhold's masturbatory fantasy.

If not Kubrick, Spielberg
Oh man, can I really not say every moment that Kubrick captured on film in every film?
How about Spielberg's criminally underrated AI? The ambiguous and troubling ending instantly jumps to mind, but there are a host of scenes in that movie that really stand out, like David meeting up with…

Mulholland Dr
The scene at Winky's where the guy describes his nightmare and then relives it, with that awful thing behind the dumpster.
Also Silencio.

I got it!
I think I've figured something out. All of it actually. I've been trying to piece together just how long Smokey has been pulling the strings to achieve his endgame and I think the answer is, the whole series. There was a key line in last night's episode. When Ben leads Widmore and crew to the secret closet,…

Eh, it was always going to be Jack. It has to be because at the center of this show has always been the relationship between Jack and Locke. It is fitting that the two are pitted against each other in the finale. Their dynamic is the core of the show's themes.

Jacob is all about not interfering and having people make their own choices. Minimal guidance. Remember how he told Hurley at the lighthouse that he couldn't tell Jack what to do. He wanted Jack to figure it out himself.
