The 50 Cent Army? I guess they'll find something about the film they don't like...or die tryin'....

You know, when I read that it was made in 2014, I thought, “Ah. The Before Times.”

It’s like if a film review had read, “The music choices throughout are obvious and overbearing, not to mention that the entirely white cast are all in blackface. Anyhoo...”

Are the dots in this pic mermaid make-up or reference points for the digital weternerisationalising?

Yeah, I feel like that is absolutely the conversation we should be having. 

Yeah, I feel like we should be having that whole other conversation instead of talking about this very bad movie.

To be fair to the film, though, that scene where Louis XIV holds a press conference rambling about the curative effects of ground-up mermaid injected directly into the body now looks weirdly prescient.

That Bingbing’s facial features have been digitally Westernized is a whole other conversation.

In honor of the 6th anniversary of Legends of Tomorrow, my all-time dream team lineup:

BTW tomorrow is the 6th! anniversary of this show. Boy how far  we;ve all come.

None of the CW shows have been renewed yet so I don’t think it is time to be worried about Legends having a next season yet. Also I could see them getting picked up by a streaming service if the CW did pass on a season 8

Beeping out God never stopped being funny.

When the discussion is about misogynist power dynamics and your contribution is essentially “Eliza is hot,” maybe best to just not contribute.

Yeah, that was such a weird take that I’m still reeling just from having read it.

I read it somewhere else on here: “youth is attractive until it opens it’s mouth.” I would have zero issue saying no to absolutely anyone under 25 (and probably even 30) because they are all goddamn morons.

I have said this many times but I'll say it again, Best Years of Our Lives feels like a film made decades after ww2, not a year after.  It understood better then any films how bad war is.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a William Wyler movie I haven’t loved. The Best Years of Our Lives is still imo one of the best movies about what it’s like to come home from the war. The fact that Wyler cast a real disabled vet in a lead role was so gutsy. And the scene where Homer’s father has to remove his prosthetics

And, most offensive of all, he’s covering up the rangefinder window of his Nikon SP, something no Japanese man - much less a photographer - would ever do. Shame. Shame.

I’m really baffled that in discussions of the greatest directors ever, no one ever seems to bring up William Wyler. Wuthering Heights, The Letter, The Little Foxes, Mrs. Miniver, The Best Years of Our Lives, The Heiress, Roman Holiday, The Big Country, oh, and a little movie called Ben Hur. What more do you need?

There never was nor will be another Audrey Hepburn, for a first starring role she feels like a pro.  If she wasn't let onto what would happen with the Mouth of Truth, then damn did she roll with it gracefully.  I must say that Eddie Albert is quite enjoyable as Pecks friend, he adds a nice touch of comedy to the
