- Third time isn’t quite the charm for Agents K and J, but a time travel plot opens up some new possibilities for these otherwise tired jokes and characters, reminding us that aliens can still be fun.

- A time travel story with no time travel, Sound of My Voice is intimate science fiction with only one concern: constructing a smart, incredibly acted puzzle for viewers to lose themselves in.

@will_leisure said:@Spatulalad: Last night's episode had Wynn Duffy watching women's tennis. Take with that what you will...Wynn was talking about watching women's volleyball back in Season 2, I think? Its his thing.My bullshit theory is that characters who watch cowboy movies are good guys, characters who watch funniest home video clip shows are going to die or go to prison, and film noir watchers...I don't know? Yeah, pretty much a ...

Good to hear! And yes, if you haven't watched the show for some reason, consider watching it. It does a nice job of walking the line between Western morality tales and postmodern crime thriller - while also being its own thing.Only tangentially related point: ever notice what the characters are watching on TV? Rewatching some episodes I started to realize that they tend to go with one of three types ...

In the comics, being awesome provides you with special powers of plot contrivance, so I think Hawkeye and Black Widow will be fine.

What to Watch: Raylan and Boyd Head Down The River to Regionals, or Something.
Justified is really kicking ass so far. I worry however that the consistent awesome/badassery on display cannot be sustained at this pace. Something I found strangely refreshing in the second season was the relatively slow approach to that great finale - it had some restraint I guess?But...I'm a worrier by nature and am just as happy to see bullet festivals as the next guy.

I must be on the wrong side of a generation gap or something, but Spider-Man 2 is one of my favorite movies period. I always liked Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker precisely because he's a whiny, mopey, goofy schlub of a loser. And if Kirsten Dunst's no Emma Stone, she seemed to be a pretty good foil for Maguire's Parker in the trilogy, this film especially.There's a bunch of other ...

This movie just about broke my heart after how stellar the previous movie had been.

DVD/Blu-Ray: One Of Alex's Best Movies Arrives, As Does One Of His Worst.
Justified!!! Season 2 was indeed classic; hillbilly Shakespeare, to paraphrase one of the showrunners.New season starts on January 17th, by the by, and I couldn't be more pumped.

@SubwayD said:Urgh. I'll admit that the first film was a bit of a laugh as a super-natural slasher flick. The second just came across as mean spirited, leaving me feeling pretty shit for having watched it. This video pretty much confirms that leaving after the second was a good idea.As much as I like gnarly horror films and gallows humour, the who idea of having a movie series which simply ...

"Set Your Motherfucker to Receive"
5 months, 2 weeks ago
This show seems to have the same problem I felt the comic book suffered from - long periods of sustained tension balanced against all the character subplots, punctuated with the Next Big Screw Up. If those subplots work then you care about the characters and their dilemma, so when the next big "everything goes to Shit" moment inevitably comes, there's some sort of catharsis in how their personal arcs resolve, ...

The Walking Dead: "Save The Last One," But Take Your Time Doing It
on the The Walking Dead board.
As somebody who lost interest in this show about halfway through the first season:Are they trying for long form storytelling like The Wire?Or are they spinning their wheels?'Cause those are different things.

Also feature's "Running the World" by Jarvis Cocker in the closing credits, perhaps the best song to feature extensive use of the C-word.
