@gallilee: After Hollow Man, he returned to making Dutch movies (though I believe he still lives in the US). He made Black Book, which was rather successful, and he's been working on some weird crowd-sourced project. He's now supposedly working on a film adaption of Hidden Force (De Stille Kracht in Dutch), a major work in Dutch literature.

if you are going to have a character be an asshole, in order for audiences to attach to them, you must still have some aspect they can like about him.To me, that aspect is that he expects more. He expects more from himself, more from his crew, more from his audience, more from America. It may not work for everyone, but it does for me. The back end of his ...

I'm re-watching The West Wing right now. Well... not right now, but I'm in the process of watching a few episodes a week. In fact, I'm almost always in that process. By the time I reach the series finale, I feel like watching the whole thing over again. A bit crazy, maybe, but I usually end up enjoying fifth viewings of The West Wing episodes more than watching brand new ...

Yet another Murakami fan here. I too prefer the magical realism of his other work, especially Kafka on the Shore. I should really give Norwegian Wood another shot. I didn't get through it last time, but that might be because I did all of my reading in trains and busses back then. Murakami requires a bit more effort and attention than I can spare in public transport.

Sounds like a great movie. I've been really bad about keeping up with Scorsese's work.By the way, the book was written by Brian Selznick, not David O. Selznick.

Arnold Doesn't Quite Understand The Point Of A DVD Commentary Track.
This is totally real. I like the part where Paul Verhoeven tries to get a word in edgewise. (Hint: It's every part!) Part of me thinks Schwarzenegger did this to cover up Verhoeven's awful Dutch accent. (I'm allowed to say this, I'm Dutch. Dutch accents are terrible and Verhoeven's is particularly bad.)

What to Watch This Weekend: Treehouses of Varying Degrees of Horror.
As Falcon said, Chuck is already going into its last season. If anything, the bad time slot makes it more likely that it'll be allowed to run its course. I still really enjoy Chuck, so hopefully this last season will round things out nicely.I'm also really looking forward to a new season of Misfits. I only discovered this show a few weeks ago and rushed through its two previous seasons. ...

Revenge continues to be the best thing on TV on weekdays, though Chuck's return this Friday could put an end to that, maybe.

As a Dutchman, it worries me. If Netflix can't "beat" LoveFilm in the UK (which is a very real possibility) there's a risk they'll write all of Europe off as lost. We have no Netflix or LoveFilm equivalent in the Netherlands, only cable providers who provide a small trickle of on-demand content, so I would very much like to give Netflix all my moneyz plz.

The third Human Centipede movie should be set in a universe where the first movie doesn't exist but the second movie actually happened, and be about a film director who is inspired by events from the second movie (which happened for realsies) to make the first movie.On a more sinister note, I'm planning to finally watch the first movie some time soon. I know my life would be better if ...

SanctuaryWho are you people that are watching this?Me! I started watching because of Amanda Tapping and kept watching because it's kind of crazy and kind of awesome.HomelandOkay, so who watched this and/or liked it? Dying to know if this show is something that actually warrants a serialized format.The pilot was interesting enough as a setup for things to come, though I didn't find it very satisfying as an episode on ...

NBC Grants Full Seasons to 'Whitney' and 'Up All Night', Kills 'The Playboy Club'
on the The Playboy Club board.
That's a real shame. The Playboy Club was by no means great, but it was one of the better new shows this year. I guess it had its name working against it. Even Alex can't resist calling it "Mad Men-meets-softcore porn drama", which makes it sound edgier and naughtier than it either was or tried to be. It was just a period drama set in what was at the time ...

@Jumbs said:Am I the only one who is sick of "Potential"? What happened to shows starting strong, and getting better?That's just your memory playing tricks on you. Go back and watch early seasons of shows you remember fondly. They probably had a rough start too. The big difference is that back then, shows with potential got a chance to become amazing, whereas now they get cancelled halfway through the first ...

MTV's Real World Contract: If You Get AIDS, It's Not Our Fault
.
So... you may be filmed whilst being raped by someone with HIV and MTV can then make it seems to the world like you really wanted to be raped by said person. Interesting. I'll pass. Now what if you end up pregnant as a result of being raped on camera. Do you need the producer's express permission to keep the baby? Because that would definitely chance your physical appearance...

Honestly, I don't care where shows go. If they end up having to cut the budget to get a full (or almost full) final season, I'd get rid of Jesse and his posse. He was never the most interesting character and he hasn't had much to do lately, other than that one thing (you know...) which didn't feel right to me.Other than that it seems like, as far as the ...

I don't actually use Origin and don't really intend to if I don't have to, but man. Even the verification email process is broken. What.

People can be dicks on their birthday, so if you're surrounded by dicks, maybe it's everyone's birthday! (Or just yours).
