Magneto is a fictional individual.   Whereas 'all the civilians who died in the atom bombings' encompasses a large number of real people.   You could perhaps fix it by making the character the ghost of one particularly evil fictional person who was killed.

Asa Buterfield is actually my go-to pick for talented kid actor after Hugo.   He was noticeably better in his role than Chloe Moretz IMO.

Ah.   In that case it is her fault.   Get her!

One of the characters in Flashforward apparently had a vision of being in it.   Seriously, they were in a humvee and they bizarrely had the same callsigns.

I know it's funnier to pretend that this is Natalie Portman's personal western, but who is producing it?   Because it's actually the producer's western and they're doing a terrible job if they can't hang onto a director or cast for more than ten minutes.

Well it's obviously setting up the return of the aliens, which would be an interesting story, but most sequels are just more of the same and it wouldn't be like that.   An encounter with an actual functioning alien expeditionary force would be so completely different to the original ghetto premise that they'd have to

Yeah dracarys, why do you hate democracy?

I remeber seeing some promo thing for Pineapple Express where they described Franco as this comedy guy they knew from working on Freaks and Geeks.

I don't really have a problem with creationist propaganda in a book about werewolves and sparkly vampires.   They belong in the same universe; Darwin would have a hard time explaining lyncanthropy.

I continually get it muddled up with that one with James Bond in it.

I thought it was Douglass Adams.   Anyway, obviously true once pointed out.

Chloe Sevigny is old enough to be Juno Temple's mother.   I apologise if this means you, too, are much older than you thought you were.

…nawp?

I put Dogtooth streets ahead in that list, for its supreme weirdness.

I just don't like wearing glasses over my glasses.   There is a limit.

You could put the same interpretation on AI, or on War of the Worlds probably, or on War Horse for all I know (haven't seen it).

I stopped watching this a long time ago and I just checked in to see if we were close to meeting the mother yet.   Apparently there are another billion episodes to be squeezed out before that point however, so I'll try again next year.

It's the Harry Potter effect, but for US character actors instead of British ones.

Same here (unexpectedly has a chance to see it at the weekend, was very pleased).

Eli Roth isn't a psycho, he's one of those guys like Tarantino who just really likes movies.   It took me ages to see Hostel because I thought it was just one of those endurance movies, and then he starts throwing in Wicker Man references and I understood where he was coming from.
