I’m more and more relieved that this show is ending with season 5. Not that I dislike this show now. Far from it. Each episode of season 4 has at least a few memorable moments, and that cast are all crushing it, but I completely agree with the reviews here that this show feels like it’s spinning the wheels a lot, and…

“celebration of fly white boys”

Turner D. Century knows how to bide his time. With a Kite Man show, Turner’s turn is just around the corner...

“Won’t somebody PLEASE think of the transphobes!”

I prefer Lanse Trelgo

Aw, too bad for Lesne Grolat.

It certainly could have been even more expansive. Many Stax artists get short shrift. And the racial tensions within Stax itself are only minimally explored. And it would have been interesting to include something about crosstown Memphis label Hi Records which had its own roster of important musicians like Al Green…

Goth Winona, forever the peak of Generation X hotness

So the Ninjas blew the door open and then after seeing they killed Mariko they just high tailed it out of there?

I remain impressed by Ritchie’s Sherlock movies; seen them a bunch of times.  In the stories, Holmes was, in fact, pretty physical, or could be, so the movies work for me, a sort-of-Holmes-purist. They’re pretty funny too.

After immediately hating and then quickly loving Yabushige, I was crestfallen at his outright villainy in the last ep, and I didn’t think they could bring him back. But his catfish-catching madness and his death poem... man, just one of the best characters in recent memory. They really nailed it, and as with much of…

Loved how much Anna Sawai was able to convey with just her eyes.

Ahhhhhhh yes I think you’re right. It got obfuscated in the fighting that they weren’t trying to kill her but yes, they could have done at one point and didn’t. Also gives context to what she did at the end, and Yabushige wanting to keep her alive as well.

Holy shit was that Hiromatsu scene intense. This show just keeps reaching new levels of fantastic

Main thing I took from this trailer is that Burn Gorman is in the movie, which is a bonus.

Blood Simple is definitely his greatest role, but I also really enjoyed his small role in Raising Arizona as “machine shop ear-bender”, we’ve all known someone like that at work. I think I might have even been that guy on occasion.

Ugh, we lost a legendary “that guy” today. I love and excessively cite Ebert’s rule that any movie with M. Emmet Walsh or Harry Dean Stanton in it is worth seeing off their presence alone, even if brief.

(Khan doles out this writer’s favorite Hindi-language curses often).

Not saying the Venture Bros should be #1 necessarily, but it is my favorite of the ones listed.

Came to make sure The Venture Bros. was at the number one spot. It’s not. I’m leaving. Loved a lot of these shows though.
