GUYS watch the whole longer video on youtube where they interview these poor guys right afterward - it’s insane. I got obsessed with this yesterday and watched the video like five times.

I’m with you. Unbreakable is one of my favorite films ever. I liked The Village, mostly because it was cute and sweet and damn, Joaquin Phoenix, DAMN. Also Bryce Dallas Howard kicked butt. I thought Lady in the Water was a different sort of thing, but still good. I liked it, anyway. Not as good, but still good.

At this point, you’re probably saying, “Why do I care if this movie has an emotional core? Or characters with inner lives, or whatever?” Which is a reasonable point—you’re going to this movie to see a guy in a fancy motorcycle suit shrink and then use his proportional mass and strength to punch regular-size people on…

This is exactly what I’m remembering. I had such a visceral reaction of horror to those Quicksilver photos, and then the actual movie came along, and he was freakin’ awesome. So I’m withholding judgement...

I’m picking a project that already exists and was terrible... how about Ava Duvernay rewriting and then directing the Halle Berry version of Catwoman?

Pretty sure they were being sarcastic.

Five Now Dog Five!

But (due to unfortunate circumstances) I was forced to watch that Denny’s Thingburger or whatever the hell it is commercial a few days ago, and the voice of the Thing in the commercial is definitely deep and gravelly. It doesn’t sound like Jamie Bell at all. Why would they use a different voice for the commercial?…

Yeah, I immediately side-eyed this entire thing when they tried to put forth New Yorker cartoons as funny. I mean, maybe for... what are those people who read the New Yorker? Rich White People From the East Coast? Ok.

Tell us the unexpected stuff!

Oh, man, my brain made a “nuke it from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure” joke last night as I was falling asleep and I couldn’t remember what my brain was referencing. My brain made an inside joke even I didn’t understand. In light of that, this joke is extra-hilarious.

Eh, I think the main appeal of the story is the moment-by-moment survival stuff that Mark Watney has to figure out. That might not appeal to everyone, sure, but it’s a survival story. The cool stuff is all the little hacks he comes up with to survive. The trailer gives one really concrete example - a plant sprouting…

I LOVE IT

This is a very helpful article! I like explosions, and I also like fifteen pages of people talking about their feelings. I keep wavering back and forth while writing and editing different points in my book - do I delve into this character’s reaction here? Do I have her talk about it later? Can I cover this paragraph…

The Face/Off judges would NOT be happy with that obvious edge. (No tattoo that I can see.)

OoooOOOooOOoOOh yes

His brain doesn’t think very fast, that’s the only explanation.

you are doing the Lord’s work, friend

YIPPEE-KI-YAY
