omg, Adventure Time love! I thought my roommate and I were the only ones who discovered this show and think it's super brilliant. You're a television writer Todd. Check out AdventureTime.

Nobody to root for
I've said it before, but man what a wholly unlikeable group of contestants this season, especially in that first judging group. A den of vipers all of them. Ok, I'll give Kevin and Tiffany a pass because they seem alright, but the others just seem like awful awful people.

Tim Burton and Johnny Depp
Burton and Depp working together?! Why that idea's so crazy it just might work! You know who could probably write a great score for this? Danny Elfman. No, really, think about it.

I think Funhouse deserves it's own post. An astonishing episode, a great season ender, and there's so much going on there, what with the magical realism elements, and the biggest death on the series up to that point.
Plus Penguin is right. It's a chance to reflect on the first two seasons as a whole.

I'm with eligit. Perhaps the conceit is a bit unrealistic, but I love the conversations Tony has with Isabella and moreover the oneiric quality that the show does so well, and would repeatedly do throughout it's run.

ahem, sorry.

I saw the sign
and it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign.

wow, David O. Russell AND Christian Bale
That has to be one tense set.

wow, I did not expect to see this written up on here today.
RIP Steinbrenner. He was The Man. Now as a lifelong Yankee fan I must stay away from these threads as I have a feeling that they will angry up the blood with comments from Sox fans or haters that like to hate just cause.

My point was not that his movies are now somehow worse because of all of this, but rather that the the effect of viewing them cannot be the same, at least for me personally. I can no longer watch a Mel Gibson performance without associating him with all of this stuff and because of that new spin, I can't really enjoy…

Can you still like his old movies now?
I'm having a hard time with it. Not like Tom Cruise where I can still stand some of his older stuff before he came out as fullon batshit crazy and now can't really watch him.
But knowing Mel Gibson has always hated non-whites, jews, women and gays kindof puts an unwelcome spin on…

I always read it as a death dream myself. Hence her finding her own dead body at one point in the film. Diane Selwyn's idealized and twisted vision of her life in Hollywood, where the real life nightmares she's experienced become surreal mysteries and all the people she's met take on sinister forms. Great fucking…

haha, his initials are BAG.

That's an interesting reading Tadzio, but I think the show makes it pretty clear that Livia is behind the hit on Tony, especially in the subsequent two episodes. I'm not really seeing where there is room for interpretation. Her dementia at the end of the season is clearly a put-on to protect herself from being…

I remember people utterly loathing Test Dream when it first aired. I loved it unequivocally and unapologetically, all the more now because it's followed by Long Term Parking.
Christopher may be one of the weaker episodes, but as is the case with A Hit is a Hit you really can't dismiss the whole thing because of the…

I don't think it's fair to say that Tony will kill whoever gets in his way without hesitation. We see him give chances to Christopher the ultimate fuckup time and again because of his affection for the kid. Tony generally doesn't just act out of impulse, which is why it's shocking when he does as with SPOILER Ralphie…

I think what he has is the whole Mafia don of New Jersey thing going for him.

You never understood Tony's affection for Christopher? He was his surrogate son, and Tony had a hand in raising him within both families, as well as grooming him to take over for him. Christopher would go on to become one of Tony's biggest disappointments.

Also from the mouth of James Cameron
"There's an evolution, and people are starting to not accept inferior forms, which is good. But it's typical of Hollywood to get it wrong. We do a film that's natively authored in 3D — it's shot in 3D. So they assume from the success of that, that they can just turn movies into…
