Interesting. My recollection was Tarantino wanted to do CASINO ROYALE with Brosnan, set in the 60s. (Again, pre-Daniel Craig.)

I have this. I like this. Good little speaker.

Munn was shockingly good on the very flawed THE NEWSROOM. She was really, really good at Sorkinese.

Also, Munn is obviously/usually an attractive woman but she GLOWS in the trailer for this thing. I might have to watch it just for that reason. . .

Can I get out of the grays, please? (Why do I have to keep getting re-cleared on IO9 anyway? I’ve been ungrayed at least 3 times, and am a AV Club regular for years. . .)

Someone would like a word. . .

I still don’t buy it. Mike saw there was only one guy left in the truck. If Saul had ditched the bags, Mike would have only had to wait maybe another 30 seconds. The driver would have gotten out of the car to grab the cash, giving Mike would have had a much easier shot at a basically stationary target, and then he and…

That made me crazy. Either Mike or Saul should have been smart enough to plan it so the could get the would-be thief’s car. If Saul dropped the money bags once he was “spotted” and ran off the road, the driver would have absolutely stopped the car to grab the loot. Then Mike could have picked him off fairly easily,…

Being carbon frozen adds 20 pounds. . . who knew?

There was a period in the mid-1980s when JEDI was seen by many as better than EMPIRE. I won’t claim it was a unanimous consensus, obviously, but there was a feeling that EMPIRE’s darkness and lack of conclusive ending were bettered by JEDI’s jawdropping setpieces and satisfying conclusion.

His helmet is DUSTY, too. After previously always being at a highly buffed shine. Definitely a team effort across all the departments. . .

No, but I think it’s the first time we’ve actually seen her in a scene with Gus in either show.

Nathan Fillion was terrific at it in SERENITY as well. He could have been a decent replacement Indy, 10 or 15 years ago. . .

Agreed. I especially like that the artifact in TOD was not Judeo-Christian and that Indy had a completely different set of operatives in a different part of the world.

I loved Sallah and Marcus in RAIDERS, but going back to them (and adding the incredibly-obvious Holy Grail in the place of the considerably…

When Walt came over for dinner, Gus says, “This is a Chilean dish that I love but I never get to make it. Kids won’t eat it.”

I don’t especially care if they confirm whether Gus is gay or not, but I’d really like to know what was up with the signs of kids at his house when Walt came over for dinner. What does family dinner at House Fring look like?

I’m really not getting the Tilly comparisons. Both actress have light, curly hair, and their characters are over- or somewhat enthusiastic. That’s about it.

(I will say Pill’s character on THE NEWSROOM was fairly Tilly-ish, and I was relived to see her PICARD character has about 8000x more confidence. So while I might…

I agree. If we’re supposed to believe that Picard did nothing else for the Romulan cause after his post-resignation scene with Raffi. . . well, I don’t buy it. I need one more beat, seeing Picard trying to help the Romulans without Starfleet resources and something goes even more horribly wrong and it breaks what’s…

No doubt, but not quite in the same way, I expect. And if one were watching a movie on the the McKinley assassination and heard him shout “DUDE! Not cool!!” upon being shot, it’d feel pretty darn anachronistic.

For me, the words’ use in PICARD felt similarly out of place. YMMV.

Anyone having issues with an Irish Romulan while said Romulan is exchanging dialogue with the most British Frenchman in the history of anything. . . well, I don’t know what to tell that person.

Can I get out of the grays for real, please? I just got (re)approved last week - is there some reason this keeps resetting?
