It's also an oblique criticism of nationalism and forced conformity leading to military violence (and the genius of the song is that the big reveal is not in the lyrics but in the music). Maybe Trump will use it at one of his rallies.

I never understood why this album was considered a disappointment by so many TMBG fans. I mean, sure, it's more experimental and changes tack from their touchstone album Flood, but it is stuffed full of great songs and their usual stellar lyrics.

Yeah, what about them electric monsters????

I think the writers of Stranger Things had played too many stealth missions in video games.

There are plenty of other templates. Jaws, The Host, The Hidden, The Fly, Gremlins, Tremors, The Thing, The Howling, Them, Little Shop of Horrors, Pan's Labyrinth, Cat People…, but yes, these two films are excellent options if you want inspiration to make monster movies.

Yeah, but the whole point about the cringy marine banter is they have no idea what they're in for. They only think they're badass. It's all about the overconfidence.

Gruber started as a three dimensional character but was quite two dimensional at the end.

This applies whether you're talking about the Crash that won Best Picture or the Crash that wasn't nominated for anything by the Academy.

…and is a tax haven.

I haven't seen Stagecoach (I know, I oughta be ashamed), but were the Apache villains or antagonists?

And Martin Landau.

Was Uncanny Blue Peter Man the draft name for Dr Manhattan?

Great story, but I think you're wrong that slavery was better. Being property didn't make the slaveowners treat their slaves well any more than being workers makes prisons treat prisoners well.

The best bit of Birth of a Nation is when Turner blows up the Confederacy with a perfect shot into the exhaust port.

DJ George Foreman.

The biggest gripe I have against Skrillex is his name sounds too much like Shkreli.

It's one way to shoot blanks.

Cosby was pretty much retired anyway. Meanwhile, Chris Brown…

I don't know that anyone attends these films as a way of actively furthering a movement, but I think it does help if movies on these topics are financially and critically successful. I was really pleased that 12 Years a Slave did so well, in part because it was a good movie, but also because it made a major popular…
