The movie reflects the contemporary development of no-fault divorce, which allows people to get divorced simply for being unsatisfied with the relationship. With fault divorce, you have to prove that your spouse did something to ruin the marriage, like adultery.

I'm pretty sure Streep's character wasn't a lesbian. She just realized that she didn't want to spend her life being playing housewife and hostess for a workaholic.

"The original source of the cellar door thing was JRR Tolkien, btw."

I meant "win the" but somehow it just became "with"

Pocahontas was actually Disney's bid to with Oscar for Best Picture, sadly enough.

"But anyway, it seems like Titan A.E. tries to be adultish but still kiddy in some of its elements creating a final product that doesn't really appeal to anyone?"

Everyone speaks a dialect (or maybe more than one). Standard American English is a dialect, and it's no more "wrong" or "right" than any other dialect is. It's just the least stigmatized.

The twist is that it's a fairly straightforward movie that's engaging but has no major surprises.

I'm one of the people who figured out the twist to The Village just from seeing the first trailer, because as a kid I had read the book Running Out of Time. The plot of that book is so similar to the premise of The Village that the publishers considered bringing a plagiarism case against the film.

Seriously who gets upset at a whole genre because of what amounts to a community-theater talent show?

I saw a high school production of Sweeney Todd and it wasn't very good. Musicals totally suck.

Marry me, the rationalist!

I'm sorry, but Jake Gyllenhaal is a very handsome man.

"Jodie Foster is out as a lesbian, if I remember correctly."

Sorry, "used to mean," not "be"

Okay I coincidentally just found out that "frig" in fact has been used to be "masturbate."

Someone is incapable of detecting jokes.
