That's why you're the judge, and I'm the…law-talkin' guy!

This comment is now Exhibit A in The People Who Don't Like Pricks v. Arsenio Billingham.

This was precisely the route I took, too. The credit union I switched to pays much higher interest rates and refunds my ATM fees from other banks. On top of the service fees I'm not paying to Chase, I'm saving hundreds of dollars a year.

The tension between the fan's sluggish pace and your frantic need to see what's just out of frame is physically wearying. That was one of the best horror tricks I've seen in a long, long time. Comparable in its brilliance to the nightvision reveal in The Descent. You know the one.

Yeah. That movie turns everyone who watches it into Morgan Freeman at the end of Seven.

P-poison? I think that will be reserved for Walter Jr.

He's talking about the formally composed shots, impeccable set designs, and the subject of the angst of the upper class/intellectual.

Along these lines, when I saw the picture at the head of this article, I thought, "Which one of you assholes hates Sam Rockwell?"

We face an uphill battle, but I stand convinced.

No you dummies, he's saying Noah Baumbach movies are like Wes Anderson movies minus the sense of humor. Thus, if you remove Owen Wilson/the comedy from an Anderson movie, you are left with The Squid and the Whale.

Cage and Travolta imitating each other as actors once they have their faces swapped is fucking hilarious.

Two lots?

IRONY FIGHT!!! We'll get it this time! Your main mistake here was forgetting the words of the wise singing robot:

This is exactly how I feel about every aspect of this. In fact, Walt's role was so obvious by the time they panned in on the plant I can't understand why it's even an issue they showed the tag. The tag might be gilding the lily, as it were (heh heh.. oh), but it's not like its inclusion ruined any great mystery. There…

That's difficult to say. For one thing, I don't think The Wire really developed critical steam until 2-3 seasons had already passed, meaning it only had 2-3 left for people to talk it up, bring it awards buzz, etc. (And then its last season, when presumably the most people were watching, wound up being its weakest).

Yeah, but it's pretty grudging praise. Along the lines of "Well, if you like this kind of thing, I guess it's a pretty good version of that kind of thing. But as things go, you could be doing better."

Hey, this self-worth tastes delicious! It's filling, too!

This is a nice post and a good explanation of why I like the sequels better than most, but even so, their dramatization of all these ideas leaves a lot to be desired. It's very frustrating.

The version I've seen a billion times has that scene, or at least a condensed version of it. There's no forgetting that arm grabbing the plunger or MacReady tumbling away from the danger. But the only part of that scene that looks stop-motion to me is the creature's tentacle, and even that might just be reversed film…

$8.7 million for The Thing wouldn't even have covered Kurt Russell's hat budget.
