I honestly don't want to be a "my-taste-is-better-than-yours" dick, but The Hunger Games seemed to me to basically be "Twilight" with a plot and a stronger protagonist. I could not give less of a shit about which bland boy character Katniss likes more. The interesting stuff is all about the setting and Katniss kicking…

I watched Tabloid, which was good but depressing in a way that's difficult for me to articulate. Obviously, Joyce McKinney is a nutsoid stalker, but the tabloid guys that are interviewed—especially the muckraker who dug up McKinney's sordid past—are such vultures, such unapologetic slimeballs, that there wasn't anyone…

For me, I think the final straw was the thuddingly stupid use of music. I liked the opening credits and some of the Rorschach bits, but there is no way I'm giving another two hours of my life to a film that, without a hint of irony, plays "The Sound of Silence" over a funeral scene and "Hallelujah" over an explicit…

@avclub-dd9c4e1b9af8976f87dd646847855fc1:disqus What if it was screened on her front?

Only if Tim Burton directs!

There's some obscure bit of minutia out there that says Bilbo concealed the existence of his ring from Gandalf for quite some time (like, years), until Gandalf stopped him one day and said, "Wait a sec, your story about the Misty Mountains doesn't hold together AT ALL."

Well, Dain doesn't show up until near the end of the book, and I imagine they've still got a long way to go on the second movie, so it makes sense to me.

Lana Del Rey is ridiculous, but if your knee-jerk hatred of her prevents you from enjoying even parodies of her, you have a problem. This was funny. It isn't The Best Thing Evar!, but you're reading a feature whose whole point is to post amusing internet videos—what do you want?

S'right. When they stuck her in nothing but a towel in Enchanted, I felt unaccountably guilty for how she stirred some decidedly non-kiddie-movie feelings in me.

I am really bummed that we never got a fourth movie where Dylan Baker became the Lizard. The entire trilogy he was hanging out in the background, seemingly unimportant, and then BAM he's now the Big Bad. It would have given the entire series a really cool continuity, I thought.

Yeah, I actually thought Duncan was perfect for the role. It's not his fault that the movie around him sucked. He's got the perfect physique for the role—kind of doughy, but still physically menacing.

Plus, the webslinging looks better. It's probably a function of the technology being better, but that shot halfway through the trailer of Spider-Man swinging down into the streets from a skyscraper had a nice, out-of-control vertigo to it that I never got from the Raimi films. If nothing else, it looks like the action…

While I am glad that they're bringing back the wisecracking side of Spider-Man, I think Garfield is miscast. Peter Parker is supposed to be nerdy, dammit. In this trailer he looks like a frickin' underwear model. It's the whole "put glasses on a pretty person and suddenly they're UGLY" trope all over again. At least…

That was such a weird review. He goes off on this long tangent about some tell-all gossip memoir, then starts talking about pansexual orgies, then goes right back to commending Andrea Riseborough's acting like nothing happened. Does he have multiple personalities, or just a bad editor?

Drew Barrymore: "These whales are stuck in the ice, and you're all horrible people for not loving them as much as I do!" *waves sign angrily*

What's that? The comics industry is tastelessly cashing in on beloved, established characters because it's out of new ideas? The hell you say!

Effing HEARTBEATS, bitches. More people need to see HEARTBEATS.

@avclub-16db446cafb1ffb1466e71eaf97a4f49:disqus Says the guy who likes Juno, of all things.

Rose McGowan flips a pretty pathetic bird. It's like she can't be bothered to even try. Weak sauce.

I'm not a huge fan of shoot-em-up films in general, so I'm probably the wrong person to ask. But there's no denying that Woo is good at what he does. He's just so sincere about taking his subject matter seriously. It's refreshing in a way; most other films in the genre are either completely braindead or so obsessed…
