The Bay-esthetique: the merchandise-able mask is stuffed up and “worn in” and gritty. The actual wardrobe is perfectly spotless and wrinkle free to please sponsors. That “down in the trenches” urban vigilante is wearing what looks like $200 worth of Urban Outfitters, paid for by his mom.
Lots of shade from you, but they are re-using an existing building for something rather than tearing it down (creating waste) or letting it sit and rot. Kudos to them. I know you probably think that Bass Pro Shops are for rednecks (they are!) but they are actually fun places to visit just for the experience, even if…
This is the directorial debut of MVP writer Christopher McQuarrie
I interpreted that as Leia taking the saber.
Sweet Jesus, someone who uses something other than a Mac. And it’s a Chromebook Pixel, no less!

I really liked the novel. I agree about all of your points on Spielberg, though. I also think that the big screen could do the story justice!
I read the book and I didn't love it. I was born in the late 80s, so most of the intense 80s references either fell flat for me or were missed entirely. While I liked the story and the setting, over the course of the book I got more and more tired of these references.
I will shoot you like a duck!
