I feel your pain. I discovered Black-ish this summer about a week before it went off Hulu, presumably to entice people to buy it on DVD.

Very true. The first thing I ever saw him in was that horrible 1st G.I. Joe movie (not to be confused with that horrible 2nd G.I. Joe movie), and my immediate reaction was along the lines of "This guy is the most uncharismatic piece of plywood I've ever seen." It wasn't until his "fuck you, Miles Davis!" freakout in…

Not to mention putting Will Smith in a cowboy hat brings on horrible Wild Wild West flashbacks.

Ah, David Ayer. The guy who thinks men kicking each other while yelling "FUCK YOU, MOTHERFUCKER!!!" for 120 minutes = masculine drama.

All it's missing is a blue laser shooting into the sky.

Yes! For me, The Nice Guys is up there with The Revenant and Sicario's "Welcome to Juarez" trailer as my favorite of the year. I really don't know if I can wait six more months to see it.

I can't believe I'm admitting that, with all the phenomenal talent in that trailer, my favorite part involved Channing Tatum, but his expression with the guy's crotch in his face is pure gold.

It seems like they were going for something twisted and clever with that line, like the Shining's "I'm not gonna hurt you, I'm just gonna bash your head in," and ended up with something that was neither twisted nor clever.

Agreed. When i first saw it, I thought "Oh, Jesus, do we really need another goddamn Rocky movie?" and by the end of the trailer, I thought "Oh, Jesus, this looks fantastic, I really need to see this."

That Suicide Squad trailer seems like a parody—so goddamn self-serious and cliched, and then topped off with what's supposed to be the BIG REVEAL of the Joker that actually ends up being the cheesiest part of the trailer.

Also thrilled to see Lucha Underground get a mention. For all its batshit crazy storylines, what makes it work is that the lunacy is rooted in logical pro wrestling booking. For example, the Son of Havoc/Ivalisse/Angelico angle— with them feuding, and then being forced to coexist as a dysfunctional tag team, and…

"The Interrogation Sketch" on episode two of W/ Bob and David might be the best thing I've seen on TV all year, and the whole series was a fitting successor to the greatness of Mr. Show. And that skit proves, once again, that Bob Odenkirk yells "FUCK!" for comic effect better than anybody in the history of the…

Every time I watch it, I come away thinking it's even better and more underrated than I previously thought, and every time I also come away wishing more people would see it because it's just so goddamn good.

Sicario's border crossing gets my vote, hands down (although the boxing match in Creed is extraordinary, too). That whole sequence—from the helo shots of the SUV caravan zooming through the customs station, to the ski-masked Federales in their machine-gun armed jeeps, right through to the Delta Force team…

To quote either Matt Gourley or Mark McConville in one of their Pistol Shrimps podcasts, "Carl's Jr., the only hamburger with a father."

I look forward to another of Max Landis' whiny Twitter rants about why the movie-going public (and everybody else but him) is to blame when this tanks at the box office.

Possibly, but Jackson may have so much stature now that he simply doesn't have to bend to studio pressure. After all, it's pretty obvious that nobody on the studio level was able to say "No" to him at any point while he was making King Kong, his ode masturbatory excess.

The astonishing thing is that the Hobbit trilogy cost 3x as much to make as the LOTR trilogy—something like $750 million vs. $260 million.

My first thought would be to totally eliminate the prequels in their entirety, but if I did that, then we'd never have had the Plinkett Reviews, and without the Plinkett Reviews, we'd never have had Red Letter Media. And I've gotten a hell of a lot more enjoyment over the years watching RLM's stuff than I got the…

Anyone who has ever avoided being in a Paul W.S. Anderson movie has dodged a bullet.
