I watched this last year and came away feeling like it was pretty slight. I suppose it was a fine action movie—definitely more coherent than what passes for action in a lot of cases today—but it didn't strike me as a great or memorable movie, and I found myself wondering if Carpenter's reputation is leading some to…

Are those real screenshots from the game? The graphics are embarrassing.

I don't know, but I also don't think it's okay for privileged people to tell less-privileged people to be more harmonious and forgiving for the sake of the movement. There's not a truly reciprocal sacrifice being demanded here—they are asked to subsume, set aside, and accept the erasure of issues that hit them at…

"It could preclude the death of the talk show because everyone will want to copy it."

Hopefully. No reason to go back to the Moriarty well.

I agree; the resolution was very bad. Sherlock is supposed to win by outwitting his opponents, not by shooting them in the head.

All Romney 'acceded to' was not being able to strip out the more
Democratic parts of the bill through the veto process—because he didn't
have the votes. That's it.

How big could a Band of Brothers-esque series set in the Red Army during World War II be? The answers: huge in Russia, if it adopted a patriotic tone and obscured all the shit that made the Soviets barely less horrible than the Nazis; small everywhere, if it strove to realistically present the war in the east. (For…

I did the same Gone Home thing with my girlfriend! It's a very good game for that, because it's all story, no "boring" gameplay interludes.

Well, Winslet is 38 (and still lookin' good), so that makes her character a mother at approximately 25.

Watched this for the first time last year—-unfortunately, twice in 24 hours, as a new group of relatives cycled through the house. Utter, irredeemable garbage. Just terrible. And this is supposedly the best of Chevy Chase! Gives you some perspective about what a no-talent asshole he truly is.

"a contrived villain to give the show a reason to keep Piper in jail for a few more seasons."

Yeah, but if it doesn't illuminate the pettiness of your problems—-and for Piper, who was mostly concerned that Alex saw her as a useful tool in her drug-running, there's no reason why it should have—-I can't see how you then owe your ex a relationship extension or whatever. It was very sad that Alex's mom died, but…

"When Piper chooses to leave instead of helping Alex bury her mom, it becomes shockingly clear through Laura Prepon’s performance that there are two sides to every story, and the true bad guy in this relationship might not be Alex after all."

Black film watchers don't get much pitched at them in general, but I don't see much evidence of your (contradictory) thesis that "the only" successful films targeted at black audiences "are usually" sucky comedies. The Best Man Holiday, which was reasonably well-received, did good business. Telling black moviegoers to…

The Dissolve gave this zero stars. IV must have loved it!

I'm seeing it in January, so I'll let you know! But probably you'll have forgotten about this thread by then.

Yeah, what? Where's In the Pale Moonlight? You promised, Zack! Or at least, you indicated.

In The Pale Moonlight

"but there's are plenty of shows i would avoid watching before watching this."
