Well this does not sound like the worst ever movie about pretentious college professors

Purely speculative, but that question is raised in the car, during the attempted escape in the beginning. The characters speculated that she was infected during her multiple trips to the hospital in the city.

I try not to be too harsh, because in the current media landscape I’m sure these writers are under all sorts of insane pressures regarding deadlines and engagement and who knows what else. But, at the same time, criticism when done right can be an interesting and thought-provoking genre in itself, and this isn’t it.

Yeah, this site used to be the best for in-depth, thoughtful reviews... Now all we get is this recap garbage. Back when Allison Shoemaker and Alasdair Wilkins were writing for the site, I’d come here just to read their reviews. Now I just visit out of habit.

Would love it if Bert is the carryover character, looking for spiritual and philosophical meaning after his Italy trip ended in “failure.”

Except the origin of the whole meme is an advertisement that specifically calls Goncharov a “Mafia Movie.”

Did you get the comment you’re responding to greyed?

> accusing her of being a racist white person
Okay, I missed that part of the article. Was it edited out?

Some people have pretended to be Native American.
Some people have wrongly been accused of doing this by Keeler.

I feel like it’s important to know who this person is who’s raising the question. Why are anecdotes about other people relevant but not stories about the actual reporter involved? Isn’t the fact that this same reporter has gotten accusations wrong at least as significant as other people faking ancestry?

I mean, both Gilliam and Cleese have become egocentric, humorless bores  who can’t handle any threat to the status quo, and Monty Python used to dump on those easy targets on a regular basis.

You’ve got to wonder if Gilliam (and John Cleese) realize the irony in them becoming exactly the kind of old people that Monty Python mocked all the time.

“Art is fire plus algebra.” That’s a quote credited to Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges. Basically the idea is that in really great art—and, by extension, storytelling—there is an almost mathematical precision to decision-making. Yes, much of artistic expression is about feeling and emotion. But plugging that into a …

It might be argued that a shift from “we are afraid of a giant, faceless, all consuming other” towards “we are afraid of power and wealth hoarded within individuals whom cannot be trusted” is at least a little healthy.

Daniel Pollack, a professor at Yeshiva University and expert witness on child abuse, tells Rolling Stone that while grooming is often associated with the sexual abuse of minors, the term also can apply to adults. At its core, grooming involves targeting an often vulnerable person and gaining their trust, only to…

Turns out it’s a romantic comedy moreso than a workplace comedy.

So, I love The Gray Man books. I’m actually reading one right now. I have been psyched for this movie since it was announced. Chris Evans is a great choice for the villain. That said, I have a problem with Gosling’s casting. He’s called The Gray Man because he is physically average and unremarkable in every way, so no…

Yes but first we need to see Natasha in a Columbo remake. She wears trench coats with such aplomb.

I wanted this movie series to be like.. Pokémon or something, I guess?
More about adventuring to where these fantastic beasts are and explore different corners of the wizarding world. Help these creatures. Have small emotional stories connected to them.

The Americans had one of the best finales of all time. I still think about it. And it maintained a consistent quality for six seasons.

It reminded me of the old SCTV sketch “The Adventures of Shake & Bake” in which William Shakespeare and Francis Bacon are both writers and action heroes who exchange witty dialogue while fencing with enemies. During one fight, Bacon asks Shakespeare how the play he’s writing, “Hamlet”, is coming along and Shakespeare…
