I've had that movie for like a year but I haven't watched it yet- I'm a little leery of 280 minutes of Woo, particularly after rewatching Face/Off. Is it genuinely a return to the pre-Hollywood form?

yeah, the most implausible part of this episode is that the dude's technology wouldn't be immediately implemented in every single factory farm. i mean nightmarish abominations are pretty much de rigueur as it is, and i didn't see anything farmer brown did that comes near 'we've programmed all your crops to kill…

god DAMN it feels good to punch a giant duck in the face. you have no idea.

this movie literally makes me sick to remember it

Yeah, but the last good movie he was in was Sweeney Todd- take away the Burton stuff and all you have left is The Tourist and Gore Verbinski movies

WE'RE GONNA HAVE A TV PARTY TONIGHT

Also, Olive's super lazy about extras and has turned them down even when they're readily available because they didn't want to have to do QC on them before (Tag Gallagher on Letter From an Unknown Woman, I'm looking in your direction)

has baldwin actually been physically violent towards a family member? because gibson beat the shit out of his girlfriend and was monumentally abusive in ways that go waay beyond angry voice messages

Yeah, as much as this is easy to see as being in a line of problematic behavior, it's hard to hold people's reactions to paparazzi against them without having been in that position myself. It sounds pretty awful, and I think responding to physical aggression (being crowded and bumped and so forth) with yelling and not…

Calito's Way, too

I feel like most of them read early Alan Moore and Frank Miller stuff and didn't get the former and got the latter all too well

Oh man, it was awesome when it turned out Joker had been Batman's long lost brother all along

How dare anyone discuss one thing when talking about another, B:TAS should not be sullied by discussion of other superhero related books and TV shows

It's also actually relatively gloves-on, in a lot of ways- like, it's explicit about who said what when, but it's a book that was written with the expectation the movie would be pretty good, and it doesn't have the fuck you for thinking you're worth anything attitude of the nastier books.

In the 50s, the top marginal tax rate was over 80%, so that was pretty cool, but I'm guessing you're more on board with the whole pre-feminism and racial equality aspects

your veterinarian friend can go STRAIGHT TO HELL

I'm on to you guys- private friends, but Public Enemies

huh a cyber danger evil hackers movie and a michael mann movie in which people actually do things like real humans and know what they're doing and are good at their jobs seem hard to reconcile
