"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Lee Pace is on this week's Mindy Project.

Thank god! All I've seen him do this last year is flare his nostrils at the screen.

After we saw GotG and the credits were rolling Emmett yelped out, "That was the Piemaker?!"

Hollywood! He can do more than look epic.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I think he had a couple of good nuanced moments as Thranduil. But I really wish he'd get out of the SFX-heavy blockbusters and back to doing quirky dramedies like Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day or the Bryan Fuller series.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Ronan was a pretty thankless role.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

The writing certainly did him no favors, but I think there are some actors (or maybe just BRIAN BLESSED!!!1!) in whose hands the role would have been entertaining and compelling even as cartoonishly drawn as Ronan was.

On topic, I'ma hit up OnDemand for a look at Lee on The Mindy Project, where I bet his talents are put to much better use.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

He did have that one great moment where Ronan is thoroughly bemused at being challenged to a dance-off, but mostly, as said, a pretty thankless role.

Community season 6 starts 3/17 on yahoo screen.

I guess they announced it last Tuesday, I'm sure I'm not the only one who didn't catch that.

I didn't either. Yay for date.

Always Anti-fascist!

Didn't expect to like it, but "Galavant" tickles me.

I was just going to ask if anyone was watching Galavant. I want to like it, but I just don't. Maybe because the songs are bad.
