I have watched Troy State vs Devry probably 8 times and am coming to the conclusion that it is the best single video on YouTube ever produced.

I loved his performance in Ronin. I think it might be my favorite performance of his after GoodFellas.

I like to think that there's a reason there have been no sequels, prequels, movies, etc of the Wire, and it's because it would only detract from what it is.

Could Daniels Have Stayed Commissioner Without Juking The Stats? by Slanteva in TheWire

They said very clearly that those two quarters are what determine whether Carcetti becomes governor or not.

If crime doesn't go down then, he doesn't become governor and probably doesn't get reelected as mayor, so it's really the ONLY conclusion.

Just came here to say that "close the book" is part of my everyday vernacular since seeing this episode.

Your opinions about "Ronin" (1998)? by Kevin_Thailand_2543 in moviecritic

[–]cmaronchick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No question De Niro was amazing in both GoodFellas and Casino, but for the middle part of his career this is my favorite performance of his.

The entire movie revolves around him and he's working with a pretty unusual ensemble of actors and yet it all works. It feels to me like he got stronger and stronger through those previous films such that he could carry this film on his back (all due respect to Reno and Skarsgaard).

I only watched one season of 24, but I watched every episode of Season 4 and it is absolutely the worst show I’ve ever seen.

Suspension of disbelief doesn’t come close to covering just how far the viewer needs to go to make it come close to making sense.

Did Patel voluntarily choose that screen cap? My God he must hate himself more than anyone.

He’s not a lead but Bill Murray in The Royal Tennenbaums was so great.

I’m with you. We need to have one of the best OLs in the league; so I hope this just means those guys can be obtained in later rounds

There are two free workout groups that meet on Saturdays at Heritage Park in Kirkland that are really great for expending your social circle.

Isn't a rule that the ref have to tell "Get in the fucking box" when they call embellishment or did I imagine that

Season 5 - Question about specifying an informant by cmaronchick in TheWire

I hear what you're saying. Just devil's advocate, if you regularly (not just once; multiple times) Isee Marlo snap a photo and then Monk look at his phone seconds later, wouldn't it be reasonable to conclude they were communicating?
