OOOH, YAY
Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I've gotten up to episode 9 of Justified S1, and suddenly I'm realizing that in a strange way, this show is the mirror twin of Breaking Bad, with the brother-in-law (ok, ex's husband) involved in shady drug dealings that he's keeping hidden.
It also took a remarkable leap upward of quality somewhere around the sixth episode.

Was that before or after the scene with shirtless Raylan on the porch in front of his motel room?

Where his boss starts staring at his nipples?
I think it was the one with his step-mom showing up -- who was an older woman, thank goodness, at last one of those got a speaking role.
I really liked the ep with the barricaded prisoner.

I watched every episode of season 1 of Justified, and I liked it enough that it kept me coming back for more, but it was really season 2 that sank its' claws into me. I thought the season-long story arcs really held well, and the characters, all of them, were awesomely portrayed.

Always Anti-fascist!
Justified had me at jump...as Elmore Leonard goes so goes my nation. Also, Timothy Olyphant's cute.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, I was always a fan of Justified, but I do agree that the second half of season 1 really kicks into gear.

Out of Sight was the closest to getting Leonard's sensibility, apart from Justified. Karen Sisco and Jackie Brown are next (Sisco had too many network restrictions and Jackie Brown was Tarantino's version of Leonard - great, but altered in sensibility). Get Shorty and Maximum Bob place but they were too Barry Sonnenfeld slapsticky. Everything else is a miss that I've seen, though I'm curious what Abel Ferrara would have done with Cat Chaser without studio interference.
ETA oh - I do like the movie Touch, but it's not your usual Leonard storyline, apart from the grifters of various sorts involved.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I love OoS. Just love it. I try to watch that movie about every year. And of course Soderbergh is a fucking genius for getting such great acting work from Clooney and Lopez. I think Soderbergh is credited for finally ridding Clooney of that awful head shake.

I had pleasant Maximum Bob flashbacks with Stephen Root as the judge that Givens has to protect.
I have one episode to go, and then the DVD set has to go back to the library, where it's already overdue. :-)
I have to say, it's amazingly easy to marathon these episodes, they're so well-structured and paced, and dense enough that the story just flies by until you're at the ending credits.
