Anyone watching Monsieur Spade?

Heller responds, “Yes, but I have something he will never have — ENOUGH.”

Just watched it last night. I think the writers picked random movies out of a hat and then mashed up the concepts and said, but how can we take it further, like too far, too too far.

At the recommendation from RedLetterMedia's latest "Talk about" I watched Dinner in America. Good leads and a fun story. I agree with their love of Kyle Gallner.

You are out of your damn mind if you don't think I'm seeing Twisters a dozen times.

I used to watch the original religiously as a kid. I'm excited.

I am always pleased when the Alien/Aliens naming convention is applied. Perfect encapsulation of all action sequels. "This time it's more."

I’ve been enjoying the season, but agree the dialogue has been average. I sense production really focused on the nighttime/arctic aesthetic. And maybe dialogue hasn’t been emphasized like say, season one.

All in all I do like how they have suspended a clear answer to the question of if the crimes were supernatural, or human in origin.

I was expecting more from Jodie Foster. She’s a great actress, but not really great in this role.

I think Foster has been great when she's been given the chance.

Problem is there isn't a lot of room for her to be awesome when the star of the series is ice... And her co-stars are as dynamic as Wilson the Volleyball.

It was just one episode, but Jon Stewart has still got it.

Curb (my guess as to where this is gonna end up)

Spoiler:
It feels like they are leading up to a recreation of the Seinfeld finale which would be hilarious.

I had that same exact thought. And Jerry S actually hinted at as much, during a post show Q + A a few months back.

Spoiler:
"The Jockey" was a pretty predictable Curbed episdoe and format. I knew exactly what was coming. But still, the way Larry said "No no no no no" as he ran to the car to not expose the lawn jockey at the BBQ was so hilarious."
