Tom Hardy puts in one of my all-time favorite performances in Bronson. You have an expectation that that film is going to be a typically boring story about some British hard-ass who learns about himself, but then shit turns crazy real quick. Out of fuck-all nowhere, it goes surrealist anarchic on you, and Tom Hardy is…
It is truly the most dangerous and captivating youtube whirlpool.
Fuck Jon, because for realsies, Jon, lighten up a bit.
Seriously, when did Jaqen H'ghar get so sexy? I was not even expecting that level of sexy on my Sunday nights, it just sort of happened.
I have a feeling they are going to be emphasizing the "beauty within" trope quite heavily in order to compensate for this.
In all eras, in all tongues, the siren call of bellicose felines is irresistible.
It's not the tarantulas you should fear, but what hunts the tarantulas.
...the boys must go through the ordeal a total of 20 times over the course of several months or even years.
I'm certain I visibly lost color in my face at some of these. The bullet ant especially, but the harvester ant description made me pretty queasy.
I hope he's proud of himself, now that he has such a Titan of Social Commentary like Brick backing him up.
I like the idea of Sully as the Hulk, but there's more to the character than simply being big and green. So as his human counterpart, Banner, you would need a character whose back story is teeming with pathos, who understands the true depths of regret and self-loathing. And who, constantly grieving for a lost love and…
I'm still roiling with rage about her comments on Mary Beard. I would physically fight Samantha Brick and A. A. Gill in the streets, if it came to it, for Professor Beard's right to teach me about the daily life of the Romans.
All of what you say here. It's so encouraging to see a writer for a show be like, "Ah. Yes, I hear your criticism and shall take it under advisement" instead of the usual, childish response of "WHATEVA BITCHES YOU JUST DON'T KNOW MY ART."
The problem with Poltergeist, though, is that the suffering of the child is largely off screen, and thus not the primary axis of terror, but rather the ghosts that inhabit the house. While the audience is repeatedly told the child is being threatened, she herself has become disembodied, and the immediacy of her danger…
Oh my god, yes, yes you did.
See now, this is how you do true horror with children. In my opinion, it's much more effective when the plot has more to do with something horrible happening to the child than just having an evil ghost baby crawling around you. It's derivative of many parents' own fears of not being able to properly protect their…
I agree with your second two, but a lot of small-budget action films are less than 95 minutes and are pretty amazing. Attack the Block for one, and the newly released to DVD Chronicle for another, are widely regarded as critical successes and they are both below the 90 minute mark.
Maybe I'm interpreting my various sources differently, and perhaps "does not intend" is the wrong choice of words. The other Avengers films (aside from Iron Man) were all pretty much lead-ins to the big show whereas Wright wrote and conceived of Ant-Man long before the first Iron Man film came out. Who knows how this…
