Adams not replying is pretty much perfect Adams though. Probably had a great idea for a response, just never got around to finishing it.

Seriously.

"Long Earth" is kind of a disaster, IMO. It manages to be both humorless and devoid of any tension or drama, and the characters are, at best, flat and vapid.

Yeah, I think this is true. Of course, Trout is not one particular writer, either. He is at least, in part, a self-portrait as well.

Huh. The combined scores of the 3 players wound up at -$200. No way that has ever happened before.

Wolf Blitzer, the worst celebrity player of all time, was only -$4,600

This is what gets me. This isn't a blog post or an errant tweet. A whole bunch of people have the ability to put a halt to something like that - producers, executives, etc. That's just messed up.

Wait, she can remove the curse from herself by sleeping with someone else? Seems like she wouldn't have a heck of a lot of trouble getting out of this.

There were some really depressing and bleak Spaghetti Westerns back in the day. "The Great Silence" comes to mind.

You know, "The Truth About Charlie" was hot garbage (and was the film that really got me questioning why anyone hires Thandie Newton, ever), in Demme's defense, Charade is not really a very good movie, save for the immense charisma and charm of its leads. A movie that relies so heavily on the audience just enjoying…

"Blood, Guts, Bullets and Octane" is, for a debut feature in 1998 made for $8000, not that bad. Yeah, it is a shameless attempt to copy Tarantino, the acting is amateurish, etc. But everyone was shamelessly copying Tarantino in the late 90's. It definitely showed a guy with potential who could make a coherent movie…

Hollywood loves to glorify certain jobs (cop, computer hacker, etc.) but none annoys me as much as the glorification of con men. Mamet is pretty much the only one who doesn't turn them into some cutesy, charming bon vivants. These are terrible people who go out of their way to ruin other people's lives, and they are…

Well, if you buy into the line that Hancock is really Zeus, then they are siblings and lovers (since Theron would be Hera).

Yes, it is remarkable that these are the smartest spies the USA could come up with. It's a wonder we aren't all speaking Russian today.

Am I the only one who is surprised at how incompetent the SSR agents seem to be.? I get that, as antagonists for Peggy the narrative requires she outsmart them, but I wish it wasn't so easy. Her situation is a bit like the main characters in The Americans - she is tasked with spying on spies/law enforcement, and…

So when Dooley offered the guard at Nuremberg a breath mint, I initially misunderstood the meaning of the scene (he had fooled the German). I thought Dooley was actually slipping the guard a cyanide capsule under the guise of a breath mint. I was thinking, "woah. Dooley is one cold-blooded mofo. Murdering that…

Did I misunderstand the fight scene between Diggle and Brick, or was Roy able to penetrate Brick's skin with an arrow, when bullets simply bounce off of him?

How about a show about a detective who really isn't all that brilliant, but solves cases specifically because he is nice, empathetic, and good at talking to people. It seems like having a high emotional intelligence would be a really good way to solve crimes involving people, kind of a Hans Scharff-type.
