I don't have a take on this one way or another, but I'm interested in what people thought of the way the movie played around with the chronology, presenting some scenes out of sequence. One instance had a clear purpose, IMO: a mini-mystery where we saw the consequences of a death before we knew it (the death) had…

The acetone thing was a nice twist on the hot-cup-of-coffee takedown.

Long live Sparrowhawk!

Maybe Marco pieced it together that he had left his wallet at Annabeth Gish's house and that's why he was so chill about it.

I think it was "I have a family."

Doesn't he get scared? I feel he should climb into the arms of a Great Dane and their teeth should chatter really loudly.

Wait, we're allowed to comment here?

Not to mention that we kinda sit on them. Maybe the vasectomy camouflages that a bit?

These were all organic and human and executed well enough… I'm not sure if it's fair, but I also feel like they were a bit rote, too. I bet that if you present someone with the basic situation, they would be able to predict these beats.

I have to assume it's a Ted Levine homage.

The movie struck me as smart from the very beginning. It does its work with the world-building and fills the screen with a lot of cool details about everyday life in such conditions. But the movie started losing me when all the characters started behaving way too rashly for no good reason, a la Prometheus. What's the…

The word choice in the article, "indulging in music," had to have been intentional.

I bet this happened to Gaius Baltar a couple of times.

The Name of the Rose illustrated how extremely-old monks can be amusement-intolerant. (And poisonous-ink intolerant, but who's counting.)

DPerk Chopra. :)

Henry Cavill was a (handsome) block of wood on The Tudors who, for my money, painfully could not act, and he got rewarded for it, if you will, with the lead in Man of Steel (where the script didn't really necessitate much emoting from him). The film has done well financially; he is now more bankable than ever, I…

He's lucky Sam Worthington is around to remind us that it's possible to be a successful leading man with even *less* charisma.

Plus "OF COCK" and Anne Hathaway plus uncannily well-informed mini-dissertations on the most peculiar bits of scholarly-like topics.

I'll be checking out this Dutch Mole, thanks for the recommendation.
