Alice Eve :mmm:

Got a coworker who looks kinda like her (and is also about 6' tall). 

But she smokes.  :yuk:

Just watched the first ep. of The Borgias. Not bad. Reminiscent of The Tudors in a way.

Just saw She's Too Good for You.  Squirrely loser dude hooks up with hottie.  Some pretty funny lines, especially from the squirrel's family.  Hottie was very nice looking, but had a surprisingly large caboose.  Did she bulk up after shooting started?  I don't get it.  Super hott unatatainable movie babes are not supposed to have asses that big.

Is this a different movie from She's Out of My League, or did Yi mix up the title?

I 's thinking Yi never heard the phrase "eschew obfuscation."   :P

Why should he have one? They all speak proper upper class British accented English, as every character in a period piece should.

By episode 5, it is quickly becoming "meh"

The Larch

For the Community fans, in case you hadn't heard already, the season finale will consist on a two part episode with a spaghetti western theme and paintballing. The names of the episodes will be "For a fistfull of paintballs" and "For a few paintballs more". Josh Holloway will guest star as a misterious character called The Black Rider.

I think the "Pulp Fiction episode" serves warning enough not to set our hopes up based on the theme. Sometimes they're inspired and sometimes not. /shrug

Yeah. This sounds like "well, that was awesome, let's do more of the same". That way lies madness.

I'm not very good at remembering movie titles.

I mean the actor. I forgot his name. Dude's a Frenchie & speaks english accent less.

United- Story of the Busby Babes and the Munich Air Disaster.
Always used to depress me that story when I was a kid.
Pretty good. They've even got authentic strong accents as folk back then would have done.

Savonarola

God's Gun (1977)

Jack Palance is a ruthless outlaw robbing and raping throughout the Italian big-sky country in this fine Spaghetti Western.  His guns down the preacher, (Lee Van Cleef in a silly wig) and it's up to the preacher's brother (Lee van Cleef without a silly wig) to right the wrongs.  There's more rape and fewer circus midgets than in a typical spaghetti western.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock
