Justifed was good as always, Kind of all over the place, lots going on. Raylan being Raylan. Love Boyd Crowder. They are good at having a great yearly villain. I don't see that yet but there's plenty of time.

Where did you see it? I thought it wasn't releasing nationwide until mid-January.
Screener hit the net last night.
Thanks for that. Watched it last night and loved it. Great vid quality.

That preacher from Justified is the kid from Jurassic Park, just in case you want your mind-holes blown.

Brian Williams' daughter is easy to look at, though.
Give it a couple more episodes. Definitely not must see TV, but its entertaining. And Brian Williams' daughter is sexy as hell.

Just saw Django this weekend. It was good but didn't live up to the lofty reviews, at least for me. Pulp Fiction and Inglorious Bastards are still easily entrenched at #1 and #2 respectively as far as Tarantino films go.

Agree about Williams' daughter. I really found it to be rather awful. I'm not saying it was poorly done but there wasn't a single character I had any interest in watching. I've been told I should keep watching but not sure I'll give it another shot. With "Californication," "Shameless" and "House of Lies" all returning there will soon be enough on my Sunday plate each week to check out.

From everything I've read they are stepping back from one big baddy for this season and will focus on the big mystery. So basically based around the bag and license and who dropped from the sky.

I really hope Silver Linings Playbook wins Best Picture. I thought that movie was great.

Kind of shocked to see Les Mis get best pic Nom given the reviews. No best director Nom for affleck too. Obviously the academy has it out for him given The Town snub and now this.

Django was the first movie I've been compelled to see multiple times since The Dark Knight. Easily the most entertaining movie I've seen this year. Waltz in particular was spectacular.
The only movies I still haven't seen from the best picture noms are Lincoln and Zero Dark Thirty. Wasn't all that impressed with Silver Linings, but that's probably influenced by my belief that Bradley Cooper is very overrated.

Silver Linings was a movie I crazy anticipated but ended up loathing because I couldn't get past the differences from the book. Performances were as good as advertised and Cooper, Lawrence and De Niro deserve the awards that are hopefully coming their way.

I enjoyed SLP, but I wasnt wowed by it. Cooper is a lot more likable without the douchey haircut. I thought the performances were great and it had some funny moments. I'd give it a solid 8.5/10

I can't imagine the kind of buzz a flick would get like this in the Twitter age. I remember it getting buried in terms of hype by Titanic, The Full Monty and Good Will Hunting in '97. It would kill everything in recent memory.
LA Confidential is one of my favorite movies of all time. It is absolutely outstanding on basically every level. Most importantly it is a phenomenal story.
It was absolutely tragic that Titanic won Best Picture instead of it. Absolutely tragic.

Saw SLP... thought SLC...
Haven't seen SLP yet, but I did rewatch In the Name of the Father and it's still good.
