Didn't say it was an issue, just a general curiosity.

 

He spoke in Game of thrones but it was a fictional language and he was a man of few words. Had a couple speeches though.

 

Seeing Book Of Mormon tonight in their 4th Australian performance.

Anyone seen it? Broadway or elsewhere? South Park's my favourite show of all-time. and I'm a huge musical theatre nerd, so it's a double-whammy.

 

yeah I've seen it on Broadway twice

 

Thoughts? Everyone says it's incredible.

 

Saw it on Broadway once and in Philly. Great both times

 

really liked it, my expectations were too high to love it but everyone else seems to love it

 

Interesting read on censorship in Indian film/films distributed in India, an interview with chairman of the Central Board of Film Certification, India's government agency that regulates showing films in India.

A Strange, Heated Interview With The Head Of Indian Censorship

 

Just finished Penny Dreadful. Season 3 just topped my list for 2016.

edit: haha yes, this is my 1,000th post.

 

I've run out of Midnight Diner to watch and I actually feel pretty miserable.

 

Rewatching Mad Men, the relationship between Don and Anna Draper has been more of an issue. His level of devotion to her is never really explained; obviously he is grateful to her for concealing his identity, but the show overplays the potential for a maternal relationship that is too on-the-nose. He is completely fine without her until the show finds a reason to send him to California, and it never feels like it resolves much.

 

Screen Week: Favorite 20 TV Shows of 2016

Putting a show created by a guy that retweets Richard Spencer on the same list as a seven hour documentary about race relations in America, nice one guys...

@cwhit

 

What's worse, giving MDE more positive attention or putting Westworld as #1 on your list???

 

That was my alternate post haha

 

@OhTheWater but everyone should watch it.

 

The Master has grown in my appreciation over the years more than any other movie.

 

I was very lukewarm on The Master when it came out and now it's my favorite PTA film. Probably my most watched movie of the last 5 years.

 

I went to see it at midnight the day it came out here and I was too tired to appreciate it. A second time in the theater confirmed its greatness, and I find myself thinking about it more and more as time goes on. The thing that I keep thinking about is the way the film depicts how people lose control when they think they are untouchable, particularly Dodd at the party where someone questions his practices and Freddy just riding away with the motorcycle. Also, the violence depicted in the film is so much closer to what you would see in reality; no choreography, chaotic, and sudden. I need to watch it again.

 

Weekly 16mm showings of arthouse films begins tonight in Detroit with Killer of Sheep, then Jarmusch's Down by Law next week. Very awesome series that I'm excited to get to be a part of, if anyone's near the area.

 

It's a masterpiece, one of the greatest American films in decades

 

Is there a better Great Depression film I can show the kids than The Grapes of Wrath? The kids are going to be so bored.

 

I think I'm going to show my kids Citizen Kane and All the President's Men for Journalism. Is Good Night and Good Luck worth watching as well?

 

No, it isn't.

I have Marie Antoinette on deck for my World History and likely Grapes of Wrath for U.S. History.

 

Who told Kit Harington to do that accent in Brimstone? That person needs to become unemployed.

 

The first season of Friday Night Lights had a lot of strengths even if it was often too corny and melodramatic. The second season starts with teenagers accidentally killing a rapist and dumping his body. Is this a sign of things to come? I could get out now.
