Mmm, I quite like kevin spacey Luthor.  Thought he was pretty good.

No problem, bruh.

At least they acknowledge Tom's having back problems.

I like pop culture happy hour, but I don't know.  The hosts can be unbearably smug.

"we don’t need anyone at the end of Psycho to explain Norman Bates’ behavior when Anthony Perkins’ performance and the revelation about his mother do the job"

Survive Style +5, god thats a great movie.

Anyone else see the prequel to Suicide Club, Noriko's Dinner Table?  Not as good, but interesting.

Don't get me wrong, I think the Hong Kong sequence is totally indispensable.  What that whole first arc does to define Batman's role in this universe is pretty important thematically, and the movie wouldn't have been as good without it.

Ah, ok, I can see that.  The time wasted on that, and for me at least wasted on that whole pointless middle part where Batman is considering turning himself in, could have been better used on lengthening the Harvey Dent storyline.

Jell-o shot, you're free to have your opinion.  But could you at least explain why you think the Hong Kong sequence is unnecessary?  Because that doesn't make any damn sense to me.  How could it slow down the plot when the events of the entire first third of the movie lead up to it?  It's not like it was dropped in at…

The episode wasn't the worst ever, but there are small moments scattered throughout that felt like excerpts from some terrible, hypothetical "worst episode ever" of the simpsons.  There was the cruise ship plot itself, which made it feel like that late series Roseanne episode where they go to disneyworld, although…

Ugh, i did not like it.  I felt like i'd seen that gag before, on family guy and somewhere else.  The musical number was really good though, and the purple tongue thing.  But overall I thought this was pretty bad.  By the time road warrior Homer came in, I thought "this show needs a laugh track".

fap………(sigh)………fap…

I actually thought this and When to Expect What Youre Expecting were the same movie.

Counterpoint: trailers for movies like the Smurfs, Three Stooges, and Think Like a Man that function like warning labels on a box of rat-poison.

Yeah, I guess some movies are improved by that higher framerate, video look.  A lot of horror movies benefit a lot from looking less cinematic.

Well, I'm taking a page from studio executives and will start commissioning all my comments from here on out.  I need someone who can take the scene from Barton Fink where John Turturro is being yelled at by Michael Lerner in his office, but replace any references to wrestling pictures with stretch armstrong…

Surely, if he has super stretching abilities, he could pull out a section of his groin into a pointed tip and use that as a dick, right?

For once, Shyamalan is right about something.

Thats cause that goddamn Grover sucks up all the spotlight.  But Telly, its like he's Fight Club or something.
