There are two more dragons. The can be only Bronn ;)

Come now sir, the *matrix* update to the ET Amblin' logo seems in and of itself to scream at least a little bit of auto-eroticism on the part of Spielberg - if not a full jerk of circle!

To be fair it's a pretty specific set of genre authors… that said Anne McCaffrey, Margaret Weiss and Gillian Rubenstein would have pretty easy additions.

Eww. Next you'll be arguing that literal now means figurative.

I totally agree on that last part. Hell, they were less subtle than the real world sportscasters who habitually make those kinds of sideways racist comments. I think my frustrations stem from the fact that all the ideas were on the right track but the implementation just kept being so much more obvious than it needed

This seems like modern sacrilege but I didn't think much of Get Out at all. I think it's a great premise but felt rather clumsily implemented. All the things that could have been subtle cultural differences that built to a real terror were instead wildly over the top and stereotyping on all sides was rampant - which

At the risk of diving deeper than I care to… even your wording is revealing. Sure it was a military quagmire. It was also a war that America lost. The latter statement doesn't tend to get repeated much by American politicians.

It's not just a Russian thing… *cough Vietnam cough*

Mentioning George Lucas and not Brian Froud when talking about the creation of Labyrinth gives entirely too much credit to old Starwars-face and not nearly enough to the guy who conceptually designed the entire thing…

How is this film getting decent reviews? It was excruciatingly stupid, entirely built on rehashed pieces from previous entries in the series and felt entirely like nobody bothered to read the script after a first lazy attempt. As someone who at least enjoyed the cinema experience of Prometheus I was shocked at how

I'm a Predators apologist! There, I've said it.

I rather liked it. Very strange and veers completely off the rails in parts but it's not boring. There's always fresh lunacy and chaos around each corner.

I was really impressed fifteen minutes into this film that they were going to take the stock standard "crime deal gone wrong" scene and turn it into a complete film. I was like, wow, they're really going to try and pull this off!

I always feel like Hill gets rough treatment. Last Man Standing seems to have been hated by all and sundry but still towers above most other shootout flicks of the last few decades in my esteem. Sure it might just be a yen for Yojimbo but it's an awfully well made and tightly constructed little film - the likes of

Agreed. The original version towers over the director's cut.

From his own movies? I'd say that's too much of an ask. Another Punch Drunk Love could come along though. Assuming he cared enough to try.

After years of weak efforts I found The Visit to be rather excellent. Excited to see this move a career forward that looked for a while like a complete wreck!

Except it seems problematic. Every time a guest puts his gun down, goes to sleep or gets robbed (all things that seem pretty likely in this world) that's putting a working gun out there. There must be something more than "only guest guns work" to the system. Also with the fly, it would have been way more effective if

To be fair, I had a brief moment of "kid don't go walking off with a complete stranger you met in the middle of a world where people come to fulfil their darkest desires" - and then I went "Nah, it's Anthony Hopkins, she'll be fine!"

Well if that's the case there's something even more incredibly wrong with Ford than we already suspect- considering how ill used Dolores seems to have been over the years. It's one thing to create robots modelled after your family. It's another thing to create robots for people to live out their unhealthy fantasies
