To be fair, as someone in a flyover state with no show business aspirations, The Artist struck me as good enough to actually deserve all the praise it got. It was my favorite movie by far in 2011, and I'm kind of sad I haven't seen Jean Dujardin in more movies with US releases since then.

He was in Monuments Men, and is supposedly in the next Transformers movie.

I wonder why Hazelton left and then came back.

This cop that JJ is working for has always been an asshole.

Valerie has a really annoying voice.

How does random waitress know Jennifer works at the newspaper?

So leaving the show was her call, but her treatment after she told them she wanted to leave reminds me of how they treated Chandler.

Is it wrong that I felt Lee was totally justified in turning down Randi's attempt to reconnect with him? On one hand, it was a terrible tragedy for the both of them, and I do believe her remorse for the way she treated him was genuine. On the other hand, it was a little late for that. Especially since she had already replaced him with her new husband. She could have reached out to him before that.

I know that sounds cold blooded, but you can't always turn back the clock.

I can understand totally why he couldn't reconnect.  There was too much history.

Those red AFC unis with bright yellow shoes made my eyes bleed.

Asghar Farhadi, writer/director of the Best Foreign Language nominee The Salesman, and winner for A Separation, will not be allowed to enter the country to accept the award should he win, because he's Iranian.

The new video game "Resident Evil 7: Biohazard" has a cover of "Go Tell Aunt Rhody" that is creepy as hell.

 

[2017 Awards Season]

I thought Jackie was boring as hell, and Natalie Portman's performance was self-indulgent twaddle.

["The View": Week Of 1/23/2017]

When asked who their most hated reality star of all time was, a whopping 50 percent of the viewers voted for Omarosa.

I thought this movie was a C-. A couple near me walked out. This is not a well-made movie.  Impressive sets, great costumes and period details, but the music was overbearing and didn't fit and the movie was very disjointed. Natalie Portman did a terrific job, that is for sure. But I thought it was a bizarre, unemotional movie (about a deeply emotional event) that did not flow well at all. Very disappointed because I had been looking forward to seeing this.

Totatally agree.  I was bored throughout.  The director did love his closeups, we could probably have counted the pores on Natalie Portman and Billy Crudup's faces.  There is NO plot.  Just talk, talk, talk.  I don't see any Oscar worthiness at all.

I liked Greta Gurwig, though.

I totally didn't know John Hurt was the priest. So this was his final movie? Sad.

He has four more movies that are not out yet - Darkest Hour, My Name Is Lenny, Damascus Cover, and That Good Night.

Isn't Drew a bad guy?  He kidnapped Carrie, and killed Benjy's mother.

Dodgeball was designed for bullies who aren't technically allowed to assault their normal victims.

Why does Nicole need a DNA test on the baby when Chloe admitted it?

Daniel's on the show more often now that he's dead than when he was alive.

"My heart will always be with you."  Ooh, is that a hint that Nicole and Brady are End Game?

Deimos always makes things worse.

Rafe is becoming more and more obnoxious.

NBC is going to cancel the third hour of Today to make room for Megyn Kelly, so maybe Days is safe after all.  For now.

Jebus, Omarosa is a heinous bitch.  There's a good reason she's been voted the most hated reality TV celebrity of all time.

[2017 Awards Season]

I have always been blown away by Michael Shannon's acting (Watch Bug), so I'm happy to see his nom.

I can see why SAG didn't think La La Land was ensemble worthy, since it was pretty much a two-person affair (plus Keith, I guess).

[All Episodes Talk: All Rise]

The son in the case with the three old ladies sounded like he was pretty well fried.

And these people live in the next town over from me.

I don't understand why JJ dismissed the case, though.

Good to see Lucas and Adrienne.

What was Adrienne drinking?  It looked like a blood orange smoothie.

Rafe needs to calm his tits.  Does he think nobody else cares about Hope?

That song during Chad and Abby's sexcapade was pretty boring.

Good question, Kate.  Why is Andre so keen on Abigail and Chad?

I wonder how a Caribbean fortune teller wound up in Prague.
