I think DWW is 2 hours of a pretty good (not great) movie. It looks great, has gorgeous music, and I really enjoy the scenes of Kev putting the fort back together & coming to an understanding w/ the Sioux. It's that 3rd hour, when he becomes a Sioux, himself, romances his conveniently white love interest, and

Agreed. As much as I miss the '90s (oh, my wasted youth), I sure don't get nostalgic about the Oscars back then. They're definitely more willing to reward challenging material now than they were then. Anybody want to go back to Forrest Gump, Braveheart, the English Patient, Titanic & Shakespeare in Love winning in

Hey, man, brag away. I'm from Cleveland & I get giddy when I see stuff I recognize while watching The Avengers & Captain America. "Oh, shit, the atrium of SHIELD's headquarters is the Art Museum!"

I'd encourage a big picture view of this year's Oscars. For all the bitching about best picture, the fact that smaller, risk-taking, art-house movies like Birdman, Whiplash, Grand Budapest & Boyhood dominated the show is a good thing. And the fact that the big, pandering Oscar bait movies like American Sniper,

One of my favorite lines in tv history is when Hank & Khan get lost in the cave, and Khan says "We're gonna die like English Patient's girlfriend. Long, slow boring death."

Nothing dumber than a cartoon with a fucking laugh track.

One of my favorite moments in the history of television is when Jay Sherman sits on Kareem Abdul Jabbar's lap like a ventriloquist's dummy and sings "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt," and Bob Costas' guest spot calling the NY Marathon—"And grotesquely obese film critic Jay Sherman takes the lead! Do you believe in

I think "squat" has to be in the conversation for filthiest word, too.

Even for free, why would anybody want to see this? I've read the children's books it's based on, and while they're quite a lot of fun, they have fuckall to do with the stuff that's in the trailer. And much more to the point, it just looks goddamn awful.

I find the high-minded talk coming from Lifetime to be pretty rich, considering what a trainwreck that Anna Nicole Smith biopic was and that they're only 2 or 3 years removed from Lindsay Lohan rasping her way through "Liz & Dick." It's like a network turns out one well-received movie in this Whitney Houston thing &

She probably gave up on trying to win an Emmy once she was shut out for "Mom at 16."

Ah, that Nelson Mandela truly had a way with words, didn't he?

How the fuck can a movie be "screamingly clever"?

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who sometimes reaches for the remote and hopes it flies into my hand like Luke's lightsaber from the floor of the ice cave.

Hey, Liam's fought pretty much everything else—terrorists, kidnappers, wolves, Tim Roth—so it was just a matter of time until he got around to fighting good old fashioned American ignorance.

Given that Tom Hardy looks different in pretty much everything he's in, what does "looks like Tom Hardy" really mean? Tom Hardy in Locke? Tom Hardy in Dark Knight Rises? Tom Hardy in Bronson (and if so, does that just mean Tom Hardy with his cock out all the time)?

I liked it, but thought it was a pretty clear step down from the original. Ironically, the very thing that brought a lot of its humor—poking fun at the way sequels just copy the original by pretty much just copying the original—meant that it wasn't really doing anything new & was just rehashing stuff we'd already

Totally agree. I loved the comment (can't recall who said it) that the best thing about the Harry Potter movies finally ending was that Ralph Fiennes could go back to making grown up films.

I just watched Enemy last night and assumed the giant spider would be on here. Super glad it wasn't, because HOLY SHIT that freaked me out. I'm going to spend the next month peeking into rooms expecting a 6-foot tall tarantula to be lurking in the corner.

I absolutely loved Adrien Brody's "What the fuck is this?!?" when he notices the painting's been replaced by lesbian porn art. Anderson really deployed profanity as humor to great effect in GBH and Brody just nailed it there.
