But he's not comparing Polanski's film to Kubrick's in terms of which is more cinematic. He's comparing each film's relationship to its respective book. He's saying both directors achieved high works of cinematic horror, but one stuck close to the source material and the other did not.

That's nothing. I know a guy who thought that one scene from Monster's Ball was the hottest thing ever. He'd put it on at parties and sit six inches from the screen.

"One thing we forget about Hispanics is that they’re family-unit-oriented as a culture."

Eh. I could always think of a worse candidate than Palin. She always seemed like the blandest part of the worst part of America, which I can handle. Whereas this election, Trump feels like the worst part of the worst part of America.

Voting while drunk is still far less of a problem culturally than voting and taking a picture of yourself.

That's exactly how I feel about my father, but I'm still writing him in.

… Filmwrapped said in the late 90s, the week Biodome premiered on HBO.

One time, when my brother, sister and I were my grandfather's house and he was babysitting, I turned on the tv while my siblings were playing Candyland and my grandfather, solitaire. Delta of Venus was on; I turned it off immediately, terrified for some vague reason beyond elucidation. My grandfather was like, hold…

When I was 12 or so, I slept over at my friend's house. His family was having movie night. They rented Sliver.

It's even worse because the headline of the article would be lead right to Lawrence of Arabia and be a goddamn linguistic example of its own subject.

It's not usually the technical achievement that makes a match cut work. In fact, I'd imagine they don't rank very high on the difficulty scale. The far more impressive bit, usually, is the aesthetic and semiotic implications.

The Killing Joke is filled back to front with static versions of match cuts.

Ain't that backwards?

Would you expect a poster for Lolita to not be coy?

The John Wick poster has exactly one easily identifiable assassin gender-wise, and one more ambiguous. The rest are just hands. Point taken, though; they could've worked in a more gender-mixed group.

Wait, you got a Super Mario Bros. movie poster at least 6 years after the movie was in theaters?

Meta fusion.

Have we all forgotten Billy Corgan's Infowars nuttery? Just because he covered Nicks' song doesn't mean that he shares her politics. Because he doesn't. Because he's crazy.

This was explained in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. It keeps the cereal fresher. What, you think a thin layer of cardboard keeps shit fresh?

Yeah, plus there wasn't as much of a hype machine surrounding it. You'd see the trailer, it would be a flash of compelling images, but they'd sort of wash away by the time the movie came out, such that you'd only been left with a vague suggestion of a narrative by the time you saw the movie.
