I hate the last season of The Wire. It’s still one of the best (top five), but without that last season it’s probably the best for me.

And not inoffensive, either.

Not too long before she died, my mom bought my dad the absolute perfect gift. He was incredibly hard to shop for and it got old buying him the same stuff all the time.

It was a handheld radio that had a dial to adjust the delay of the broadcast so you could synch it with TV, which is almost always behind the radio broadcast. He loved it and I was envious of her getting him such a great gift. I wish I had thought of it.

I distinctly recall something about the guards giving him an extra shower to possibly see her, but maybe I’m crazy.

It’s goofy what the mind chooses to remember. Of all the things to be captured and held in my brain…

Funny. When religious groups used to successfully boycott things they found sacrilegious or amoral, I don’t remember the word cancelled ever being used.

Same thing with The Red Scare. That’s how a country that supposedly has separation of church and state has “In God we trust” as our official national motto.

Cool, it’s a great standalone episode, I suppose. If I wasn’t so frustrated with the general insanity of the shows “direction,” I might appreciate it better.

Other than the characters, please tell me how it connects to season one. My point is story continuity, and the lack thereof.

You Leftovers fans are just so precious. If more people watched your show (like, give it the viewership of Sopranos or Breaking Bad), those numbers would absolutely plummet. People who like a show enough to keep watching rate it high? Who could’ve possibly guessed?

What would it be if everyone watched it?

I think Breaking Bad is spectacular and I think the rating of Ozymandias is way too high, so…

It’s the premise of the entire show: how do people deal with tremendous loss? That’s grim. It takes an ages old concept, and applies it in a unique way (instead of war, famine or disease, it’s something supernatural).

It started as an intriguing character study and became a Twilight Zone ripoff, except the wacky, unbelievable shit kept happening to the same characters.

I don’t know anyone who deals with loss by having a dead person in his head, investigating disappearing ponds, or hopping into the death realm not once, but twice. That shit with his dad’s magic song was plenty fucked, too.

By all means, find it incredible. I know you’re not alone and there is zero point arguing taste. I think it was an incredible disaster, and I’m not alone, either.

A perfect episode of a perfect example of a show that went off totally off the rails.

Season one had so much promise and they scrapped practically everything they were building just to make a jaunt through the funhouse. This show was a spectacular disappointment.

This is possibly the most hit-or-miss show I’ve ever seen. If you like continuous storytelling where plots aren’t dropped at the side of the road for the next weird thing: this show probably isn’t for you.

Edit: took the downvoters a minute, but there you are in all your pathetic fragility. God forbid any of us have an opinion and we don’t just stroke it to the circle jerk. I wish you all understood that I don’t write this to criticize your taste. I’m telling the next likeminded sucker not to buy all the gushing, like I did. It absolutely isn’t for everyone and many will be left incredibly disappointed.

Wasn’t he also supposed to get a visit from Madonna, that ultimately fell through?

Solid doc. I really like the interview with Tabitha Soren where he describes how “the song” changes over the years.

I have never heard of them, so not huge.

I saw Big in the theaters. During the scene where she decides to stay overnight at his place, he responds “Ok, but I get to be on top” in reference to his bunk beds.

There was laughter and then a young child asking “what’s so funny?”

Sometimes a person wants an informed opinion about a show that receives effusive praise. I have begrudgingly stuck with a couple shows because I wanted to see what all the hype was about, and it was admittedly a chore.

Threads like this are actually pretty useful, because they balance out some of the gushing. Others will relate to this instead of just wondering why they don’t like this seemingly universally loved show.

It must’ve been my first session when I was 18 or 19: coming out of sedation I asked the doctor when I could drink and smoke again… in front of my mom.

Robin Williams, obviously when he was alive. Sure, there are great dramatic actors listed here, but show me anything they’ve done that comes anywhere close to Mork and Mindy or Aladdin.

Mork and Mindy to One Hour Photo and seemingly anything else inbetween. He had the greatest range of any actor I’ve ever seen, and it isn’t close. Honorable mention to Tom Hanks. He can do slappy nonsense and great drama, but I still haven’t been satisfied with him as an irredeemable villain.

Did they do them all at once? They did mine one side at a time (left and right). They had to dig deep on the side with two extra.

I had 7 removed. Where were the extras? Mine were all on top.

Can you handle watching spoiled, privileged people self-sabotage and shoot themselves in the foot nonstop and still feel sympathy for them and become attached? If so, this is your show. If not, then perhaps not.

Whether you find it funny or not is purely subjective, but I think it’s fair to say that this show is a great time capsule of its era. Talk shows like this focus on the biggest stories at the time. Hell, the opening episode has them pitching the Garden Weasel.

My sister has a chihuahua that won’t stop barking like a nut until he’s sitting in my lap. Gotta love the love.

That is insane. It’s one thing to fly near him, but the trust demonstrated by landing on him is off the charts.

My daughter needs an abortion or she could die and we can’t afford to leave the state is not the same as rooting for a sports franchise. There are real world implications to who wins or loses here. Go ask people from Iraq about the 2000 election.

I admit what the other person said is totally ridiculous, but the overall concept is a little deeper than just being a sports fan.

It’s rare that I say this about a very attractive woman, but she’s out-kicking her coverage here. That was one handsome dude.

He rolled over on his mommy’s, daddy’s, two-panty granny and the fucking King of Siami.

You can bring in the state militia, LA Thunderbirds, ghost of Steve-fucking-McQueen and ten Roman gladiators…

I love these lines dearly, but yeah, there are “wasted words” in this movie.

It’s funny. I don’t particularly like Slater, Penn or Arquette and I dislike Rapaport and Pinchot. They were all great in this.

Jackie Brown.
