No, but I've been meaning to. Thanks for the reminder.

That's interesting; I hadn't considered that. I loved most of it (even though it did seem show off-y and masturbatory at times).

As I was reading "Ready Player One," I wondered if the book would introduce readers to some of the great games/movies/music of the 80's. But maybe the only people who will really like the book are already pretty well versed in those things, so maybe not.

Completely agree re "State of Love and Trust." I'm not a huge PJ fan, but that's just about my favorite song of theirs. And "Chloe Dancer" was used perfectly in the (mediocre) film.

And if they do Chardee MacDennis 3: This Time It's Personal, I'll be fine with that too.

Being a west-coaster who's never been to Philly (or Baltimore), it sounded like a Baltimore accent to me. Can someone describe the difference between the two?

This is a great idea, and one I never heard before. I hope this is how they do it (although I seriously doubt it).

They were silenced. But it was so clear what was being said that as a viewer, it felt like you actually heard them. Especially "I f'ed Ted."

Although I love the series and find myself sticking up for it quite often, I didn't like the Stephen King bit, either. I think of it as David Lynch Syndrome - he created a world he loved so much that he couldn't resist putting himself in it. And although Gordon Cole is a fun character, he wouldn't really be missed. …

I didn't think it was a gimmick ending. Especially when we see that he has the Horn of Eld that he misplaced in the previous "iteration." It suggests that the loop is not the same every time, and that he may be moving close to the end of the loop.

Poor Harpo. He never had a chance.

Not when they go to a foreign correspondence law school.

As Kim said, Chuck's contract prohibits him from working outside of the firm, except in limited circumstances. My guess is that the language is a little ambiguous (intended to only apply to pro bono work, but vague enough for Jimmy to try and argue it allows for other types of legal work) and that if they went to…

Sure there is, but is criticism supposed to ignore any religious themes in the art it criticizes? Or is criticism banned from bringing personal religious views into the criticism? How is a critic supposed to completely objectively view art? The personal, political, and religious beliefs of the critic are what give…

This isn't true. Although it isn't a huge part of the show, there have been religious references ("Upon this rock, I will build my church.") If the story of Better Call Saul ends up being about a morally ambiguous man who eventually tries to do good but builds his practice on shaky/rotten moral ground, then…

The show itself has made a few religious references ("Upon this rock, I will build my church"). You definitely miss potential allusions and interesting comparisons if you stick your head in the sand and refuse to acknowledge religious themes/overtones/comparisons. This coming from a devout atheist.

I thought that as well, but then second guessed myself. But since others noticed it as well, I'm back to thinking it's true.

I think it's strongly implied that they have or recently had a sexual relationship. (when he calls her late at night and she essentially tells him she's not in the mood for sex, for example) I think Kim doesn't see Jimmy as a long term, stable relationship prospect, but is attracted to him nonetheless.

I thought the ending showed that his daughter came around and loved him/had a high opinion of him. Throughout the film, his "powers" were demonstrated to us from his mental state/perspective of events (despite being shot from a third person perspective). When she saw him flying, I felt like the film was using the…

I'll double down on the confidence thing. I had below average/average confidence in my early 20s and did okay with dating. Now that I'm happily married and getting old, I actually get hit on by women (which almost never happened before) somewhat frequently. I'm sure it's because I don't really care, which looks…
