E.Buzz Miller Note his work on THX 1137 and American Graffiti, both of which are outstanding films. The former especially is so rarely seen and that's a real shame since from it might be the best visual and aural depiction of dystopia in cinema, though it's very plain as a narrative.

If it kept the quality of the first act the whole way through it'd be considered a classic. Instead it goes really sharply downhill with the England stuff. Got its moments, though

Counterpoint: Who cares about source fidelity

Gladiator is for real a worse directed movie than Black Rain in every way

Nowhere near as good as any of those movies, which are all awesome. Especially Cleopatra, cause who doesn't love that they risked a studio on a period piece that's 90% terse sexual banter

Can't we, as an AV club, be above the needless Lucas-slamming every time anything relating to him gets mentioned like every other website?

What have we become as a society where a ten year old child can't make and use explosives without your damned labels?

For real though, she's totally right. It's pretty middling and the jokes are lame; such a bland film for one so fondly remembered in pop culture. It also really launched the formula for uninspired overplotted comedies you saw a lot for a couple decades afterwards

To DEATH, bro

I would probably spiral into a deep depression if anything happened to either of them. After a certain point you stop even paying attention to the comedy and SPY just becomes you checking in on your old buddies

Couldn't stand it, but I'm the only guy on the internet who hated Primer so make of that what you will. Every shot in Upstream Colour hits me with a clunk, I got no admiration for or connection to the director's artistic sensibility

You know that band, Of Montreal?

Chief?

Damn it!

What's with every other article having a Homestar Runner reference these days? Not that I mind, obviously

We eat our mistakes here, monsieur!

We're not watching that!

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
