Where's the survey?

Chandra isn't Muslim but yes she would be more sympathetic.

Glad to hear but I think you'd need even more time to recover that fumble.

They shot the wrong gorilla.

Oh I agree. But if they had to scratch that stupid stupid itch.

Why not have Naz try to kiss her and her freak out.

Glad HBO is reminding us why lady lawyers don't really work; always falling in love with their clients and shit.

Or be what finally throws Turturro into the lead chair.

A little of Andrea as the generic troubled murder victim in the 1st 30 minutes didn't land, but yeah the kiss doesn't work and isn't needed. I'd say they could prove us wrong but with only an hour to go that seems unlikely.

It's hard to say what role Lee played in Goodman delaying and delaying Kirby's promised pay day before he sold the company.

Aren't VFX at this point the only real draw to any movie?

Oh yeah, I agree. The storyline should stay the same for 30 years. Thankfully comics don't generally have that problem.

Thor has had a long going storyline that since (s)he is more or less immortal (s)he in the future still protects a long dead (due to environmental disaster) Midgard so is in conflict with corporatist polluters a lot in the present. It's of course silly but has a certain logic to it.

And gauntlets!!!!

'Alternative" died with the release of Nevermind.

Given it's release date and the fact that Batman seems to win the day thru torture and invasive surveillance it seems hard not to interpret it that way. But you are very right, Nolan's political ideas are pretty incoherent, which leads into my argument that they aren't specifically anymore challenging film making than…

We see the first half of the battle. They run b/c they are out numbered. Is it only an action movie when the protagonists are on the offensive? Indiana Jones is primarily running away throughout Raiders.

I don't feel anything particularly genuine when watching any of the Nolan Batman movies. I see a not-nearly-as-bright-as-he-thinks-he-is director using the Batman mythos to work out his own feelings about income inequality, terrorism, surveillance, etc. filtered through his own Tory politics. I suppose people dying is…

Seems like a lot of whacking people with swords and fire demons. Isn't it as much an action movie as Raiders?

I don't think it's possible to make any modern action film that is truly a masterpiece in the way that Raiders is. The idiom is too pervasive. Hardly only Marvel's problem. What action movie of the last 15 years is a masterpiece? Maaaaybeeee "Fellowship of the Ring"
