Yay! Chosen One Storyline!
Nothing masturbatory or pandering about that, nosiree, and we never get to see those anymore! Besides every single day, of course.

Sure, if you ignore the politics and just sort of pretend none of the female characters are actually on screen, Gump is well-made and has funny parts. And for the first 2/3 or so, it moves well and always gives the audience something to pay attention to. A decent movie, just hardly a great one.
In what bizarre universe would the MTV movie awards care about a movie nobody saw?
Liz baby!
Still, weirdly apt end for the kind of person who might have appeared in a movie where that kind of thing would happen.
I dunno, Returns was terrible, but most of that was a ridiculous script and direction that went back and forth between sleazy (any time Spacey was on-screen) and religiously reverent. Oh, and we got to see a 90# woman repeatedly get the crap kicked out of her, for people that enjoy kind of thing. But Routh wasn't the…
Nah, D+ is the "By not even trying, you avoiding anything specifically, aggressively bad or infuriating". People who actually try (but still produce crap) usually get Cs for effort or D-/F for deliberate badness. Whereas "D" means 'It's been an hour since I saw it and honestly can't remember anything about it."
That chick looks sorta "assembled by robots"
But the robot designs still suck - they seem to be going for some insectoid theme, and it's just really ugly. Plus, their metallic design tends to be hard to see with all the military hardware being waved around, and clarity in combat was one of Bay's problems to start with.
I'd heard he was the subject of Billy Joel's 'My Life'
Got a call from an old friend
We used to be real close
Said he couldn't go on the American way
Closed the shop, sold the house
Bought a ticket to the West Coast
Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.
When you consider how many stories and versions and endless reboots of any successful comic book character, the "real" is a silly concept. Plus, remember that for 98% of the viewing audience, the "real" version is whatever they saw on Superfriends or whichever Marvel version they watched as kids in the 80s/90s.
"A single death is a tragedy - a million deaths is a statistic." I'd be upset if a show like this *didn't* reach for that kind of cliche, even if they're too lazy to throw it into exposition.
Also missing Great Escape and Taxi Driver from the list. And I was so drunk watching Casablanca I'm not sure if that totally counts.
To the Devil A Daughter finally showed up on my instant queue. Chris Lee was awesome as always, and Nastassja Kinski cute, but the script kept implying it was going somewhere it never got to, and the ending blew.
It's like the post in the above thread where they are insisting movie rights last forever. The first rule of politics is to always talk in general terms - never specifics - so you will never be objectively wrong. That the teabaggers aren't afraid of being utterly, absolutely wrong - and will simply ignore any…
Err… "Forever".
Pretty much all 3rd superhero movies
Spider-man 3, X-Men 3, Superman 3, Batman Beyond; all terrible, terrible.
I assumed it was because if people have speaking parts, you have to pay them more. I was never really sure why ships needed so many people in it anyway, since every system seemed fully automated, and you never got the impression that maintenance was a big concern.
Only if someone quickly realizes that Wonder Woman is, and always has been, aimed at teenage boys who've just discovered what girls are for, and not at 20ish women who don't, and never will, give a crap about comic book heroes.
This well will never run dry! Never! Someone get me a Stilt-man treatment, stat!
Mr. Horrible? Mr. Horrible?
We're not done with you yet Mr. Horrible.
The Shining is the only one that can still keep me up at night on repeat viewings.
