Broadchurch- Interesting. British detective series which doesn't feel cheap and boring. Kind of has the aura of a Scandinavian series.

I watched that show a month ago and loved it. They're making an American version though. :hmm:
Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.

Dysfunctional rich family with its hands in lots of loony and/or illegal business ventures.



Saw Anchorman again. Pretty funny.

To further help Yi, Bateman played the straight man trying to keep the family afloat after they go bankrupt.

I fell off the culture train from 89-91 because of grad school.  That could explain it.

Yup.  Passed the McGarret line last year.

I don't know what that is and neither does google.  Your need to nickname everything has undone you.

McGarrett? From Hawaii Five-O? And I don't even watch that show.
