Masterpiece? Well, they're creaming themselves already because the Washington Post still like it. Which suggests The Return is no masterpiece. Few TV masterpieces ever needed fans to say week after week "See, it IS good. No, honestly. Look! Here's a review that says so." Or had a profound...

About to start Dead Stars now. Even more excited after what you said! Infinite Jest comes after that (I keep putting it off, not sure why). And thanks for another novel to read, The Girl Next Door! Now I have three books to look forward to over holidays so thanks guys. I don't know why but I really...

nice comment from @Novalis here in the ep #16 thread ( extracted from much longer comment) - could equally apply to people who like TP TR as to those who are profoundly disappointed: ''This show isn't so much about the one hour we spend sitting in front of the screen, it's the take-away. The things...

Sylvia - just bought 'Dead Stars'. Thanks for the recommendation! Have that and Infinite Jest to read, from recommendations in this thread! Just got Dead Stars too. Looks right up my street.

When Lost Highway came out I seem to remember there being a lot of talk about the Balthazar Getty character going through a psychogenic fugue state (think it was that character, apols if got the wrong one!). Is this entire series Audrey's fugue state and her way of working out who she is? I believe...

It’s understandable if people think calling it a disaster is hyperbolic. Artistic disasters are not that easy to produce. Again, simple incompetence is not enough. E.g. telenovelas don’t aim high enough to experience the fall and splat of real disasters. So if I read the word ‘disaster’ on a TV dis...
