Pretty sad to see Jeremy Irons and Emma Thompson reduced to supporting players and Viola Davis still playing a domestic, all in the service of a lame YA adaptation.

But it's by John Moore, the director who brought us such memorable films as the remake of The Omen and the remake of Flight of the Phoenix.

Thanks. Disagree with you on his merits as a poet but I liked your take.

Is James Franco an A.V. Club mole?  Was he kidnapped and tortured until he agreed to go back into Celebrityworld and provide the A.V Club with an endless series of mockable hijinks?

What was amazing about his poetry?  Be specific.

Helena Bonham Carter doesn't have the rack to play Elizabeth Taylor.

I could care less about the perceived politics of country music then or now, all I know is that Bob Wills is still the King.

McNulty is drinking again.

I think Soderbergh will be back directing within a few years.

They're just sitcoms.  Enough already.

If Judge wanted to make a hilarious satire on liberalism he should have just published this comments section verbatim.

I wish the ending had explained what a 45 year old pitcher who weighed 135 pounds and a 35 year old catcher who weighed 350 lbs were doing in minor league baseball.

Why not read both?  Late James is tough but rewarding but I can understand why people would want to concentrate on his earlier work. Any of Conrad's work is worth reading.

If you limited these Pop Culture Q&A's to entertainment made for adult minds there would be no point in having them.

I'm sure this film is pure dreck and I won't see it if I live to be 1000 but if you screen anything for Rabin that involves macho behavior and aggressive attitudes towards women it is like waving a red flag in front of a bull.  Except rap music which gets a free pass.

Based on this picture add Renner to the guys who look like old lesbians list.

Westlake wouldn't let filmmakers use the Parker name unless they committed to a series of films.

>>.Aren't these the only adaptations w/ Westlake's blessings?

Statham is not Parker.  Maybe a Parker, Jr.

James Burrows isn't a real director.  Directing sitcoms is nothing like directing feature films.
