I don't think you can use the word Eskimo anymore either. Could be wrong.

I didn't even realize that was Evan Rachel Wood. I love her.

Fucking loved it, from the misleading credits, to creating sympathy for the hosts, to what the fuck is ed Harris's character up to?.

Given that HBO have got hours more time to play with and that other film-makers who've "re-imagineered" past titles have pretty much taken creative carte blanche with their predecessors' efforts, can't really see any reason why the people behind WW would limit themselves in such a way.

On another note, I can't make up my mind if Ed Harris isn't as big an actor that he should be or is just where he deserves to be. I like him as an actor.

Thanks Markus - I'll edit accordingly.

Looks like I was wrong about Ed Harris's character so far. The guy playing the story director I guess, is a shit actor. Where the fuck did they get him? Also, just how many Hemsworth brothers are there? They're all massive dudes!

I think they lost me on last night's episode. One more week, maybe.

I actually thought this week's episode was an improvement over week 2. Seems like the wheels are in motion again, after a "marking time" episode.

I like it a lot after three episodes. Some wonderful little touches - I loved the use of Paint it Black for one of the shootouts and how the bar piano played a little bit of Radiohead's No Surprises.

Wright and Hopkins are brilliant. I've seen Wright in a few things and wonder how he's not a bigger actor.

Angela Sarafyan is good too and for other reasons as well.

There's something hypnotic about her looks.

Watched first two episodes, found myself getting more bored by the minute. Lovely to look at, and the piano playing No surprises was a nice touch, but excitement at a minimum. Also found Hopkins very annoying. What a mannered and self important actor he is.
