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.

He would have asked instead, “so what does a typical workweek look like for you as a CEO of an airline?”.

Never a bad time to listen to this old gem again:

If there is a God, then He created Barbieland out of anger. The dream houses portend nightmares and agony. In Weird Barbie’s eyes I see only a blank stare that speaks of a half-bored interest in fashion.

Clive Owen seems to have somehow fallen through the cracks at one point 15 years ago, which is a real shame as he’s a really compelling actor to watch.

Or we should go one step further back and revisit Delicatessen, which has long been one of my favorites. I think I enjoyed it more than City of Lost Children.

I remember walking out of the theater after watching Amelie and just feeling good about the world. I rewatched it recently, and I still really love it.

This is by far my favorite John Sayles movie and one of my all-time favorites.

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.

It shouldn’t even be up for debate.  Prince #1
