I could be wrong, but I recognized some streets in Sienna. I’m pretty sure they were in central Tuscany.

man, I miss those guys...

Enjoy a great article of “The staff of the A.V. Club — the music, film, and entertainment website owned by G/O Media — was informed yesterday that the company will be shuttering its Chicago office, where the bulk of its editorial team is based. The website’s editor-in-chief, Scott Robson, told employees that they…

Still gonna see it.

I don’t see any reason that Robert Wise should be the only director who ever gets a shot at adapting West Side Story.

It’s a masterclass for writers on how to pen repellent characters who can still move you with their own humanity and pain. 

Feathers! Fucking finally.

I think it was the first ep where I became conscious of Tom as a person who didn’t come from immense privilege. He’s not like these other people. In many ways, he’s almost like the ghost of Christmas future for Cousin Greg.

The Tom/Ken scene was the highlight for me as well, and my favorite micro-moment is within the lines noted by Roxana. Tom is at his lowest point, but he’s only going to take so much of Ken’s shit. And when he snapped back with the “you know what I think ... I think you’re going to get fucked because you always get…

we queers have been targeted with a lot of coded studio shenanigans, but we’ll still take what we get $$$

I’m glad the reviewer singled out that Tom/Ken dialogue, both actors were great but that should be Macfadyen’s Emmy reel.

I thought the same thing - this episode showcased a major character turning point for Tom. He went from plainly obnoxious caricature to a compelling player. Loved this episode. - Though I have to admit I don’t quite understand why Tom has to go to prison, and why he volunteered to take the hit.

Came here to say just that. MVP of the episode for sure.

Have you seen him in Pride & Prejudice? I caught the scene in the rain the other night and he was just heart breaking.   He has the goods.  And in interviews he’s just delightful. 

I was thinking of this in the part of the recap about not much with Greg and Tom tonight. I thought their little scenes together were fascinating, in large part due to Matthew’s performance. Greg is using Tom, when Tom is in a very low moment, and you can’t really feel sorry for Tom, because Tom was abusive toward him…

Tom is breaking my heart.

SNL used to be much more reliant on recurring sketches than they are now, so waiting 3 and a half years for a second installment doesn’t bother me too much. It helps that I thought this was better than the first, which drags at the start. But if I thought this was a new concept and then learned about the first I would…

“A few decent Update zingers are fine, but a mounting a concerted affront to the heavily armed and seditious powers that are setting themselves up (through thuggish violence and widespread voting fuckery) would go a long way toward earning the outlaw rebel comedy image Saturday Night Live has always cultivated for…

I’m glad they’ve figured out how to use him because he CAN be funny but I really thought they were keeping him around almost out of sympathy and he was heading for some sort of spectacular public flame-out.  He’s an odd duck but seems to have gotten his shit together and we’re now getting a look at why he was cast on…

It’s pretty obviously Italian, look at the labeling on the box.
