I remember really disliking Zero Effect but I can't remember why.

Kim Dickens I mostly know from Deadwood. Where she was wonderful.

Did anyone else see Book of Life? I thought it was pretty cool, what did you think?

We enjoyed it. My friend and I were talking about how even though Joaquin isn't, "Our" hero, and he was backed by the evil guy they didn't make him a villain. Kind of not even an anti-hero. Even though his character was kind of a caricature, you never hated him. Maybe because he never twirled that moustache he was so proud of.

Well, Bill Pullman's Holmes equivalent was a deeply unpleasant character. But that's actually one of the reasons I liked the movie, so there you go.

Oh, and agreed on Dickens in Deadwood. And Treme as well.

In A World: I know there's some meta-commentary about the narrative choices they made, but still, so gross with the misogyny, especially coming from incestuous sources. And I get it, this shit is gross, and what better way to highlight that than to have your dad and one-night stand talking about you like that.

I also think that married fathers who still go "hubba hubba" at younger women in public are gross and shouldn't have daughters. Probably because as a non-parent, I can't see that line between how you'd treat a younger woman and how you'd treat your daughter, and I also can't reconcile how you'd want your daughter to be viewed and treated and how you view and treat other women/girls. /Natter

I watched that the other day too! I agree, it's gross, but I thought it did a good job of staying on the "it sucks but this is the world she lives in" side of gross.

I loved the midwestern step-mom/groupie/whatever by the end.

I thought it was a very enjoyable movie.

John Lasseter will direct Toy Story 4.

All Kim Dickens boosters should watch Treme, too.

Tru dat.

And I'm guilty of missing a season and a half, although the season I missed was cut to way fewer episodes. But guilty still. And for some reason this is a show I feel REALLY guilty about missing.

And not only because David Simon might find you on the internet and tell you you suck, right?(Although he might--I've never seen someone so famous so on top of the vanity google. Sometimes, it makes me sad. I need him to be better than I am, I suppose.) But yeah, you should catch up, because it continued to be good. Although not especially resolved, because it's a Simon joint and apparently tidiness gives him allergies. But I do admire his apparent commitment not to write "chick parts" so he can get such good work out of Kim Dickens, Melissa Leo, and Khandi Alexander, who were all great in other stuff that's probably more on topic.
