The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
I liked The Gingerbread Man. I fucking hate Gosford Park. Have not seen APHC or Short Cuts, though. Heard good things about both.
do you hate gosford park for the same reason you hate arrested development?
How could anyone hate Arrested Development?
It gets all the way under my skin and skips rope with my every nerve. Just fucking terrible people being terribly unfunny while shoving their self-entitled narcissistic asshole affluence and pretentiousness down my fucking throat. And I get that that's the joke. I do. But....
I just have better things to do with my time. There are too many shows that are just so much better. There are a handful of decent laughs and more than a few good ideas strung across the four seasons. But overall, it just isn't my thing. I can't get past rich people being assholes.

<sigh>. I hate what you've brought me to, RM...
Die Hard Predator The Hunt For Red October Die Hard with Samuel Jackson Last Action Hero Medicine Man ("I've found the cure for cancer and now I've lost it!" is one of the best promotional bits of dialogue ever -- it's the entire film in one sentence). The Thomas Crown Affair

I never considered this until now, but the Pfeffermans from Transparent are sort of like the other side of the Bluthe family coin -- same snotty kids with the same sense of entitlement, but obviously the circumstances and tone are totally different.

I need to check out that show. Maybe once I'm caught up on Casual.

I do really identify with Buster, though. I'd probably watch a spinoff show about him. Or one about Tobias.
I can't remember if you watch Veep? Tony Hale steals the show, and it's definitely an extension of the Buster character.
I heard an interview with JLD in which she described her character's relationship with Hale's as "He's like a vine that has been growing around her for years." It was just. so. perfect.

I haven't watched all of Veep. I watched most of season one before getting distracted by other stuff. But I LOVED him on the show.

What is RM's opinion on AN Redux? I never saw it, but have always felt the film is absurdly overrated. I did a whole unit in college on the translation from Heart of Darkness to the screen; have done a critical viewing of the film several times. Does the Redux offer anything game changing?
