Now that you mention it, i could actually write a bot that "judges art." It wouldn't do a good job, or be able to create, or appreciate art, but i think amazon reviews are a place a small few lines of code could pass the turing test.

*rappers steal a sentient police robot*
title card appears saying "this is still a true story"

That first one's a real thing isn't it? Or at least i thought salesmanship was part of why we were militarizing our police departments with things they have no real use for.

It's interesting that they just really went for it with the mythology. I kind of expected a Thor take on things where the gods are basically just super heroes fighting each other, and structurally that's true, but there's also a geocentric, flat world with Ra pulling the sun by chariot and staving off (literally)…

No one can make me want to fuck a robot! Ex Machina just exploited an existing character flaw whereby i was already willing to fuck robots.

I think if you bounced back, it isn't really in the spirit of the question. I mean it's not "what's the worst piece of crap a great director put out" it's "who looked like a good director for a while there and then consistently turned out garbage after a certain early point or put out a piece of crap and gave up."

Did that Red Dawn remake ever actually happen, or was that just an idle threat?

I'm with you for The Beastie Boys, but "Radiohead teaches robot to be human" sounds too much like the robot would end up killing itself.

I accidentally wore a shirt i got for giving blood to give blood a separate time once. At least in the case of concerts you're at a concert.

It sounds like "I'll escape now from this world" would start sounding pretty reasonable strategy after months of that.

They probably have some analogue to our "speak American!" idiots.

Swordfish is up there with Boondock Saints 2 in the pantheon of R-rated movies clearly aimed at adolescents.

I need to watch that again.

I don't know about "one of the best." He's certainly above average for that film, but Russel Crowe does unspeakable things to said average.

It's a stark reminder that i've said some truly terrible things out of context. And a few truly terrible things in context.

Focus groups found her too threatening for the role of sympathetic rapist.

Tyler Perry's a real competent professional. It's just hard to tell because, his primary profession is awful pandering.

I don't know if Southland Tales is a terrible movie i love, or good movie most people don't appreciate.

I still don't connect on it whether you make them literal aliens, literal demons, an allegory for…something. It both didn't make any sense on a straightforward level and didn't have particularly good or interesting things to imply metaphorically. Signs is a accidentally a movie about how its people of faith are morons…

I know what he means. I've got a strong vested interested in thinking humans are unique and wondrous, but boy does it get cloying fast when someone preaches that at me badly.
