Re: Canvassing opinions on TV series

Mad Men is for me the only perfect TV show ever made. Season 5 of Mad Men ranks up there with Season 1 of Deadwood, Season 3 of Northern Exposure, and Season 1 of Twin peaks as the best season of television ever.

Re: ESPN: 30 for 30

I was actually wondering the same thing.

The 30 for 30 series is inconsistent, but generally very good. Once Brothers, Benji, and The Two Escobars are particular standouts. Haven't seen the USFL one yet.

If you're trying to say that PTA never read A One-Armed Lesbian Grandmother in Vermillion when I sent it to him, you sir are incorrect. He just hasn't gotten around to filming it yet. Keep an eye out.

Super excited for Frances Ha. I think Baumbach is crazy underrated. No one ever mentions him as one of the preeminent American auteurs.

Re: The Grizzly Man and Herzog

Herzog did not make a mistake in subject matter just because you didn't like the film, bub. By all objective counts, he made one of the greatest choices for subject matter in the history of documentaries , as Grizzly Man was one of the most financially and critically successful documentaries in the ...

Re: The Tree of Life

If "philosophical" means idiotic, cliched slogans written for 5 year olds and "artsy shots" of the sky and the Sun, then sure. I just prefer to call it "pretentious", instead. I also get the suspicion that many people who call something "philosophical" have n...

Re: Anyone else avoid actor interviews like the plague?

I ran into the same problem when I first started to notice the way the camera moves (around the time I was in high school). It took me out of the world in which the film exists. However, I got over it. Yes, it's a piece of fiction, but so is virtually all art. There's nothing wrong with realizing th...
