While Wolverine was an obvious rush job with massive tonal issues, it at least had a few strong points and a mostly game cast. When watching Apocalypse I had a strong feeling that no one, neither on screen nor behind the camera, wanted to make that movie or were interested in making any kind of effort besides showing

The first half of Skyfall is legit amazing as well, after that it's like a whole lot of people fell asleep at the wheel.

God damn it, you're also right! Scrolled past it on my phone.

Did the Seinfeld quote generator gimmick account just out itself?!

You're right, October to be precise. In my defense; it really sucked.

Needs more Spectre, X-Men: Apocalypse and Suicide Squad. Also, I clicked on this article fully expecting to see that Kevin Spacey voices a talking cat-movie, hasn't that come out yet?

I'm highly critical of the whole shared universe-trend, but I honestly don't get that last metaphor. Is @disqus_C2vuwhbQ8f:disqus or the movie studio supposed to be the person in the grave?

Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) apparently suffered a lot of production problems and was basically being written as they shot it (which made an apparently still caring Anthony Hopkins more or less walk off the set to be replaced by Jonathan Pryce), but since the Bond formula is so established it's not really noticeable in

For me, it came off as more of a poetic meditation on loss and grief than a devastating look into the abyss. It's at times sad as hell, of course, but not in a way that should discourage people from seeing it.

Oh believe me, I'm in the former camp. I'd be happy to be proven wrong, but I sincerely doubt I will be.

That will probably be a pretty good indication concerning the "They're racist and sexist morons" v.s "They're desperate and disillusioned working class"-debate concerning the Trump electorate.

Currently enjoying Hadrian's Wall and Moonshine from Image, and a lot more than I thought from DC's Rebirth initiative. I've sampled a lot from it, and only Justice League hasn't been at the very least solid.

Marble House is fantastic, too bad The Knife kind of disappeared up their own asses after the Silent Shout LP.

Yesterday I found out that Connery lobbied hard to get to wear a 20.000 $ pony tail wig in The Hunt for Red October, so he clearly seems like a dude who gets interesting ideas. And who apparently is persistent enough to push them into fruition sooner or later, judging from the photo in the article.

With another director and under another studio, I do think it could have been good. As of now, it's at most an interesting visual take in a dumpster fire of a movie.

That seems strangely arbitrary.

No honorable mention for Batman '89? Of course, that thick rubber suit made sure that none of the fight scenes were particularly great, but there are so many awesome action-ish shots and sequences that are elevated by the dark, over the top art deco ambiance in that movie. Batman's shadow descending behind the robbers

Of course, this was the one fucking thing missing… Martin Gore once said that Leonard Cohen was the world's best lyricist, and he was god damn right. Fuck.

Hey, I live in one of those places, we could have alcohol together! Still, things aren't buttery smooth up here either, the right wing anti-progressive populist islamophobic party for anti-semite conspiracy nuts* got 12% of the votes last election and are still going strong in the polls despite racking up numerous

Yeah, snark even more aside, annoying or not he's sold at least 7 spec scripts and gotten one TV show off the ground since 2012. That's a lot more than screenwriters usually get to do in a whole career.
