Great TV Show Narrator or the Greatest TV Show Narrator?

I somehow ended up watching Boogie Nights with my parents one night. I still blush thinking about it. Now that movie doesn't really seem to have all that much sex in it for a movie about porn, but as a 13 year old, I remember just trying to make myself feel as small as possible and avoiding eye contact with my parents

It is really good. You should watch the whole thing.

uh really guy? There were no grand themes about change in the show? How about Janice's entire season 2 arc or Christopher toying with being a Hollywood guy, or Tony only using therapy to enhance his criminal enterprise or all the guys coming out of prison who immediately fall back into the life. Hell, I'd argue that

Yeah, the Barnes & Nobles in New York City were always pretty great. I'd spend hours in them. Borders was always just that bookstore that tried in the mall but could never be as good. And what a terribly run business. I don't understand the nostalgia for that particular company at all.

Well, you're being simplistic and dismissive with your argument about people acting the same way but isn't that kindof the point though? One of the overriding themes of The Sopranos is that people don't change, either because they can't or they are unwilling to.

what? he's still a kid practically. I'm a grown man and I'd be pretty scared if I encountered a black bear that big in such close proximity.

I think it's my favorite also. There's a real narrative drive that 4 seemed to lack until you got to the end of it.

"Sad death of Agent Stahl"?

I'm with you guys. It was one of those movies I used to watch over and over again as a kid. I'd actually say it's one of Burton's best. There's a lot of creativity on screen, something you didn't get very much in the formulaic 80s….and 90s…..and 00s.

Yeah, I grew up on the East Coast and I'm pretty sure I've never heard a single Garth Brooks song. Doesn't really sound like I'm missing out on anything.

I saw Red State which has one really excellent scene when the preacher is giving his hateful sermon, but otherwise is a total mess, especially in the second half when John Goodman and the ATF agents show up. The plot is ludicrous, the budget limitations obvious, the performances don't work and Smith cannot film

I find that a lot of Simpsons episodes that I did not like initially really grow on me over time and this is the perfect example. I was as bugged as everybody else when it first aired but now, I just take it for what it is, and it's a funny episode. The premise isn't even that ridiculous compared to where so many

I'm with you entirely. It felt overwritten.

I really enjoyed last night's episode also. I hope it gets picked up too, but I'm not really expecting it to. I don't know how the show does ratingswise, but I think it has a sensibility that's too unique for the masses. Maybe if it were on adultswim or something.

I don't like to snark on people's fetishes because I'm betting everybody's pretty weird, but, yeah, uh, wow. I don't get it.

oh man, Sabado Gigante. So many memories, but El Chacal sticks out the most.

This is true. I watched so much Univision growing up because my grandmother always had it on. I particularly enjoyed the news because all the anchorwomen were always so amazingly hot. It must be a requirement to put your cup size on your resume if you're going for a job on that station or telemundo. Also the news was

The story is not straight out of the bible but Mel Gibson's interpretation of those events. He culled it together from many different sources. It's a 200 million dollar snuff film that was embraced by the hypocritical religious right as a historical document instead of crazy violent torture porn created by a notorious

No no no. Tupac wished to be smoked with some Sour Diesel! Way to dishonor his memory.
