What's with the Evita avatar, Garb?

[Queequeg]

I'm excited season 2 has started up.

That premiere was fucking horrifying.  It's great how the show can have fake weddings with everyone in horrible wigs, and then a 17 year old boy walks in to find his entire family murdered. 

Also Margot Martindale is fucking amazing.  Just fucking perfect.  She's a female Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Black history month was over and it was conveniently available from where I'd used it before. Why?

Side note, I'm not sure I like that we're labelled Neil. I feel so confused.

Neil is the top posting queue, on account of my formerly prodigious production.

A feel good Walking Dead episode. 

Very little feeling. Just a hug.

They may be the only people left in the world for all they know, but I don't think it's more than a week or two since the prison got busted up. Also, her character may still be under 18.

Because it's actually the only Lloyd Webber thing I like.

Everyone's pretty much assuming everyone else got killed in the prison bust up.

I prefer Phantom.

I think I first used that avatar when I was going to see (which was ultimately a tad disappointing) the recent Broadway revival.

I just want to say, Arrow is Ossum, it is the best thing on TV (cable or broadcast or streaming) right now. I raved about it (so did amscip too iirc) in previous seasons but it just gets better and better.

I started watching when it was shown over here but just couldn't get into it for some reason and dropped it after 4-5 episodes. Might have to give it another chance as I keep seeing people raving about it.

Oblivion. Never really bought into it.

There is a lot of backstory to get started and they do have some dead ends to go down season 1. From about episode 8 season 1 they know what they are doing and from the Huntress episode it just gets better and better.

Non-Stop (2014).  A handsomely appointed locked-room mystery-thriller that could stand a tightened running time and a rather more engaged lead, but does deliver without a great deal of fuss.

Thank you for smoking

B

Waitress (2007).  A mediocre actress' (Keri Russell) villainous cartoon of an abusive husband nonetheless possesses real and working semen, despite possessing no other human qualities such as you might expect in a movie that was written, and gets pregnant.  Boring scenes ensue.  The proceedings are enlivened only by the presence of Nathan Fillion, who acts everyone else's face off and manages to be reasonably funny.  The film ends with Keri Russell telling her husband she's getting a divorce.  Apparently, this was impossible previously, but possible now.  Why?  No one knows, and only my girlfriend cares.

Also notable for a subplot involving a woman who marries a man who pesters her until she submits.  This picture has a great many mixed messages, and is only interesting to the extent that I enjoyed the visual depiction of Keri Russell inventing pies, and if that's the interesting part of a movie, you can safely assume the movie sucks.

D+ (But if she asks, it's a C+)

Dredd is coming at some point in the near future.
