I'm not as harsh on it as you (I actually loved the first half of Batman Begins, and most of the first three quarters of Dark Knight) but I do get what you're saying. The big problem I think is that Nolan wants these films to be the first superhero movies that actually feel like they take place in the real world but…

God forbid you don't think this movie is masterpiece. Of course Ledger is electrifying but the movie falls apart in the third act. The ferry sequence is embarrassing. The plot starts to make no sense. Then you have Dent not actually shooting the Joker in the hospital. The whole damn reason he went crazy is…

"Life seemed so sweet and so sad and so hard to let go of in the end"

Nonsense I tell you! You seem to have a problem with the film's plot and realism. If you dismiss "The Bonnie Situation" because you think the Wolf is "useless" then you are watching the movie for the wrong reasons. The whole sequence is brilliantly hysterical and yet logical in the universe created by Tarantino.

Next to Pulp Fiction, Quiz Show was the most critically acclaimed film of 1994. Whatever critic's awards (not Academy awards) Pulp didn't win (which was rare) in 1994 was because of Quiz Show. Quiz Show also won best film for the New York Film Critics Circle that year as well (look it up). It's the kind of…

Now you lost me. "30 minutes of awful" in Pulp Fiction? EVERY line of dialogue in that movie is quotable. The screenplay is perfect.

You're probably right in my liberal use of the word. But I do think Pulp, Ed Wood, Shawshank, and Quiz Show are undeniably great films.

The best film Burton ever made. It's perfect; strangely moving and hysterical. Landau is heartbreaking. What the hell then happened to Tim Burton?

Seinfeld?

So, you were having sex with the little fella then?

I hope this means AMC came to their senses with the silly Saul Breaking Bad spinoff idea.  Gilligan shouldn't sell out what he did with Breaking Bad and hand off some stupid spinoff about a one dimensional character.    That would be like David Chase allowing a spin off idea about Paulie Walnuts moving to California…

There should be no reminding of the end of that movie.   Batman living was such a terrible, "please the idiot masses" cop out.  The film may have actually had some resonance if he had died.

What a great and underrated film this is.  Eastwood was on fire back then.  This was such a great one-two punch with Unforgiven.  In the summer of 93 he also starred in one of the great, underappreciated thrillers of the 1990's:  "In the Line of Fire."

Right, so I'm guessing the shoot was delayed while this putz had to recover from his pneumonia which he got because he couldn't put a shirt on!

Flight of the Conchords was so damn hysterical.  I still can't believe it didn't come back for a third season, and can't AV club to a TV classic on it?  Seems like the perfect choice.

Jeez, what the hell did I do?  "slobberfest"?  I just appreciated his intelligent, logical and cogent arguments.  So shoot me.  Why would I care if he's acting like a dick?  Why would some random comments on the internet, by someone I have never met in my life, offend me?  If he pisses you off so much, that's on you…

@avclub-33807fbc68d335db8080d3c10cb78822:disqus You do know that time and time again Chase has specifically said that the scene was about death.

Because the Wire always gets a pass from would be internet critics trying to be cool by calling it the greatest thing ever.  You should read "Difficult Men" by Brett Martin.  The book theorizes that the final season was so lackluster because Edward Burns was no longer there to collaborate with David Simon.  The book…
