2000 memory:

I actually bought the Native American genocide theory: It makes sense as a subtext of the film, though not as the secret meaning behind the film (big difference).

Ah, Bethesda. You're like an alcoholic-abusive husband that I always come back to, no matter how many times you slap me around.

Last time I checked, there are laws against anyone (angry mobs included) incarcerating, assaulting, or murdering you—no matter what you say. There's even a law that protects you from their speech if you can prove it's slander.

"When everyone who holds opinions that are offensive to the mainstream are always forced to be silent, not from fear of legal repercussions, but from being ostracized from the general society, only the opinions of the mainstream are heard. I provided one such example from recent history."

Think of it as a classic example of American innovation.

“We have a rule that we’re not allowed to go more than two or three shots of anonymous people fighting without cutting back to our principal character.”

I could imagine a really thoughtful, unsettling supernatural film taking place in the suicide forest—that is, if this weren't being made by David S. Goyer.

Apparently the hair physics in Tangled was so complex it took the software development resources akin to a mid-sized video game all on its own.

They spend all that time and risk their lives to build an improbable Rube-Goldberg melting golden dwarf statue, then…

But, in the original LoTR trilogy, you didn't have to spend too much time with them because there were always at least two other plot threads going on elsewhere.

The last Super Bowl was Bronco Nation's 9/11.

Blue Garfield: An edgier Garfield for a newer generation.

I hope you're deeply ashamed of yourself.

I thought I would go my whole life without ever seeing a snarky Ecks vs. Sever reference. O'Neal has made my wildest dreams come true.

Goddamn it, I click on O'Neal Newswires expecting AP style—and I'm disappointed every time.

You seem to forget that Mao eradicated sorrow from the glorious People's Republic.

Between domestic abuse scandals and this corporate-sponsor clusterfuck, Pat McAfee is the only good thing about the NFL now.

I hate those deus ex machina endings.

I don't think anybody here is offended by Bay's "outrageousness"—unless by "outrageousness" you mean "shitty movies".
