I can’t believe Oldman is in this potboiler.

I had a feeling…after I saw the first 20 minutes of the episode…always suspect the UNusual suspect.
Bryan Cranston has come so far since the days of playing Tim Whatley on Seinfeld.
Hello, not sure why you think Grant is the husband. He’s not. He doesn’t even come into play until episode 3.
I haven’t watched the show yet, but I have seen the trailer. The reason I said it was Hugh Grant is because I thought Alien wasn’t sure that Hugh was actually in the show, so I was just reassuring.
Am I the only one that thinks that Darlene was the cause of all the grief in this episode?!! Yeah, Dan did good but, knowing that the hardware store is struggling, what would make either of them think that a raise is even possible?!! Why would anyone take professional advice from someone who’s made such “wise” professional decisions?!!
Argh! This episode just pissed me off!!
I have felt very validated about blaming most of the trouble on Darlene lately, so I agree with you.
Good show. Vera Farmiga is amazing in everything she’s in, but she was exceptionally formidable as Norma.
By contrast to previous seasons, Season 4 seems a trifle aimless and meandering.
As a huge fan of previous seasons and a diminished fan of the present season , I have to agree.
Yeah, this show just can’t match up to something as deep and high-quality as, uh, “Basketball Wives”, right, MN? Haha indeed.
Well, that was smart. She’s her own worst enemy.
Yeah, that’s meant to be half of the premise of this series, the fact that she is incredibly dysfunctional. Kate Winslet is doing a commendable job.
I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s bad, but it certainly isn’t good. The premise seems neat initially until you realize the entire purpose of the show is a glorified commercial for the next MCU movie. I love comics and enjoy the MCU movies, but couldn’t recommend WandaVision to anyone. As far as fan theories go, they’re more or less all BS. The story is adapted from the House of M comic arc, so it’s nothing new. Definitely recommend checking out that comic arc if you end up liking WandaVision.
I haven’t been able to watch any of the MCU movies all the way through, don’t read the comics, but did research just enough backstory, and I enjoyed Wandavision. It was an interesting and curiously-done psychological character study, and that’s something I find interesting (that’s why I am into so-called “underground” comics such as Dan Clowes, the Gomez brothers, Julia Wertz, etc. rather than these action-narrative-driven DC and Marvel comics).
Probably Sharon Tate’s most popular film. The “dolls” are downers, so we get to see various actresses take a downward turn. Among them are the one & only Lee Grant (Dinah Manoff from Soap’s mom), Patty Duke, and since Judy Garland was fired, Susan Hayward & Peyton Place’s Barbara Parkins.
So much fun and so gloriously campy, but holy hell, the songs are hideous and annoying. They really scraped the scum from the bottom of the barrel for the musical numbers, which is sort of fitting…and, most punishingly, the songs stick in my head for hours if I even just think of this movie.
I totally agree (which was in my reply) but the movie did a terrible job illustrating the relationship they had. It wasn’t a prey-predator situation but two consenting adults overall who both had feelings for each other after the fact but couldn’t be together bc of her probation. In real life, they would have still seen each other despite her probation and had a child by then.
I’m not talking about the morality of the situation. I was speaking strictly of the way the law views it.
A good film about a ditzy, negligent “mother” and her hell-spawn.
Two separate investigations said he didn’t abuse her.
It’s really strange that you chose to defend an abusive mentally ill woman who not only married a man 30 years older than her, and not only got pregnant by a married man before she stole him away from his wife, but also adopted 15 children. Let that sink in… 15 children. What kind of person adopts 15 children… and then abuses them?
I am not defending her, in fact if you reread my earlier comment , I said I think she’s awful also.
“I wanna see you sweat a little!…and when ya smart me, it RUINS it.”
Extremely re-watchable! There is a chemistry on screen of not only the cast but the writers too. The cast did a fabulous job portraying their characters, the writing is great and the story is full of slap your knees as you laugh out loud comedy. I would describe the viewing experience of this film as “What a Hoot!”
I’d like to add that this is one of River Phoenix’s precious few comedic roles, and he nails it. Also, William Hurt and Keanu Reeves do an outstanding job as a pair of imbecilic junkie criminals.
The very fact that the SWAT team wasn’t prepared for/didn’t sniff out that diversion, was just plain shitty screenwriting. Seems like these awful TV procedurals are the rule and not the exception now.
Wow, that Song Short they did in this episode was their best and most effective one yet! Next season needs to come in an awful hurry!…and oh god, I hope people don’t take a cue from this show and start their own kangaroo courts…
this “new age” garbage does not resonate with the show, out of place. the show will be cancelled soon anyway
The new age stuff doesn’t bother me much, it’s just a means to an end plot-wise anyway…what bothers me is the degradation of characters I once held dear, led by a Darlene whose classic 90s personality has been put through a trash compactor, taken out and then inexpertly applied on top of a shrill, cheating, tiresome harpy that I don’t even recognize. And the fact that Jackie has been relegated to the background as some kind of court jester is unacceptable. I know that the writers have changed wildly since the first season, but it’s like watching once-pure water get polluted with cloudy sludge and swirl down the drain. And I guarantee it is still going to be a long time before the show is cancelled.
It was just a remake of a the much better spanish version and did nothing to further the story and was nothing but a promo piece for Cruise. Go watch the spanish version and tell me this one was needed to be made
this is how you can differentiate one who truly loves film from one who just watches movies.
KEVIN Healey?? Haha, guess that first name didn’t do well with test audiences so they changed it to David.
Disappointing. Mediocre. Badly acted and badly written. I usually like Sofia Coppola. This could have been executed with so much more zeal.
There weren’t a lot of prime time animated series during the 60s and 70s, only about a dozen in all. Some were hits (The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Mr. Magoo, Alvin and the Chipmunks), some were moved out of prime time and found their audience on Saturday morning (Bugs Bunny, Top Cat), and some of those are largely overlooked or forgotten (Calvin and the Colonel, Jokebook, Where’s Huddles?). Wait Till Your Father Gets Home was the only syndicated prime time animated series to achieve any sort of popularity and was only one of 3 animated series to last more than 1 season in prime time prior to 1990; The Flintstones and The Bugs Bunny Show were the other 2.
The only ones I can think of right now are the Flintstones and the Jetsons. Let me think about it for a bit. I didn’t have cable growing up so there wasn’t much to choose from
Yeah, I know those, I guess I thought you meant some less known ones from that time.
Back in the day many cartoons were geared towards adult audiences. This was one of them. Bugs bunny was also an adult cartoon
so can you recommend some other prime-time adult cartoons from the 70s that I can look for? Besides Looney Tunes and Fritz the Cat, I mean?
Such a great story I’m in love with juno temples work
love her too…if you haven’t yet, you must see “Magic Magic” from 2013. She and Michael Cera give amazing performances … he plays her psychological tormenter!
Brit Marling is brilliant. She creates, writes and stars in her own movies/shows. Triple threat.
And they are actually intelligent stories, with intelligent acting. The East was based on her and Zal’s actual experiences running with freegans and activist kids one summer.
Short Lived, but I consider it to be almost a cult classic.
Fun fact: one of the reasons the show got cancelled is because its teen actors were having too much fun on-set and off - i.e. drugs and sex.
What happened in Waco was an implementation of trauma on the American public. Even my mom in Sweden used to call me a waco at times when she didn’t agree.. Like a projection of madness without an argument from a standpoint of normality.. Bullying straight up.
I don’t gonna see this film as i believe there is better ones crunching this drama. Paramount made Waco https://www.primewire.li/tv/275640-watch-waco
Better to just watch what happened, hear it told from the eyewitnesses’ perspectives. https://www.primewire.li/movie/259835-watch-waco-the-rules-of-engagement
I’m not sure if you are joking but yes I can
No I am not joking, I love shows from the 70s and I liked this one a lot and if there are similar ones, I’d love to look for them, so please do recommend some
Such a kitsch-y film. It’s so dated, but that makes it so fun to watch.
This is, without a doubt one of the best movies i ever seen. Its now nestled in my top 10 of all time. Peter Jackson did a fantastic job highlighting the two girls friendship and relationship. I didn’t know of the story before watching and i urge anyone to watch this before reading up on the events. Its a sad story and one that has already died out long ago. And even though it put me into a post watch depression for a few days, i’m happy i got to see it. Don’t just watch this film, immerse yourself into the two girls lives as i did. God dam its so good.
I think this may be the best and pants-peeingly hilarious episode of AP Bio that could ever exist.
Informative doc on a musician and band of the early 90s that get unfortunately overlooked.
I remember when Waitress came out (she directed). I saw it at the theater — it was a huge indie hit with the critics and the audiences! I loved it and it’s on my list to watch again. I recommend Waitress - delightful!
It was a smaller film, but if you liked Waitress, please take the trouble to find “Sudden Manhattan”. It’s here on Primewire. It was the first film she wrote, directed, produced, and starred in. I like it more than Waitress.

three of my favorites. there are hundreds of other classics too
Let me tell you something: go to season 4 episode 16, and skip to 10:53, and you will find my new favorite sketch of the moment.
I just came here to say that I am slap-happy about this season finally airing. Already seen them all and I am about to watch them again.
Cancelled….
I’m so miffed about this. It’s the 2nd time TBS decided to yank the season 2 premiere the DAY IT WAS SET TO AIR.
is that you downvoting me,snazzy?? ha
no, that wasn’t me. I did downvote xflags tho!
