That Mitchell and Webb Look

I'm really enjoying it, except their comedy is a little too murder heavy.

Looks like Clifford is once again available to stream.

Topsy-Turvey.

I'm only recently getting into Mike Leigh stuff but this film blew me away. It's nearly three hours so it is a time commitment. But this look at Gilbert and Sullivan is just superbly acted and directed.

Who here has been brave enough to watch Lilyhammer?

[Mr. Spacely]

This is that show where Little Steven plays a Daytime Vampire in Sweden, right? His toupee is over a thousand years old!

I watched it. It's not good. Little Steven is supposed to be charming in a Tony Soprano anti-hero kind of way but his character just comes across like a horrendous human being.

[Kormod]

It has the Breitbart.com stamp of approval, so I'll give it a shot.

But more than that, “Lilyhammer” is an absolute breath of politically incorrect air. As we sit here and watch the hapless and hopeless Republican party constantly outsmarted by the media and Barack Obama as our liberties are stripped away, I promise you that “Lilyhammer” will help to get you through the night.

I saw a bus-stop sign for it and I thought, "Oh yeah, that."

[Mr. Spacely]

I love the thought process that went into to crafting Lilyhammer.

"Hey! You know Little Steven? The non-actor from the E-Street Band who played Silvio Dante in the Sopranos and was only - at most - halfway successful being that show's cringe-worthy comic relief?  Well, we'd like to expand that character into a full show. And set it in Norway or something."

Such a great film.

I watched TINY FURNITURE last night. While wonderfully shot, it's been a while since I have seen a movie where I wanted to strike every single character. (Well, there is one character who walks away from the main character's BS so she is exempt from the punching but the rest...ew boy.) I could not relate to anything in this film.

How old are you? Sadly I know waaaaaaaaaay too many people like the ones in that movie. I liked it tho.

I think that most of the postgrad, mid-to-late-twenties crowd and post-art school crowd can relate to those kind of people.

For the record, I graduated with an art degree. I can relate to post-grad art students just fine. However the characters in this film had such thin affectations disguised as character traits I just couldn't like them or root for them in any way. Not even to fail. I just didn't care.

I can see the appeal of the film and I am not trying to take your enjoyment of it away from you. But it annoyed me because I KNOW that there are many people (young and old) like them. And I don't like them.
