Ok, poor word choice on my part. I don't particularly like the movie and agree that the dialogue/plot is mostly empty. And i'll concede that the ending of the movie can negate any enjoyment of what came earlier, and prevent you from ever wanting to revisit the movie in the future. But its still a horror/monster movie…

Question - did you enjoy The Village up until the reveal at the end? The 'they promised me monsters!' complaint seems pretty misguided and whiny, and I dont see it as a deception to the audience. The monster scenes were still there in the movie, regardless of the twist, right up to the final showdown in the woods. I…

I really hope Johnson veers away from the setpiece-heavy style/structure that J.J. Abrams is known for and gets a bit more creative in the execution. I dont dislike Abrams but i'm very curious to see what Rian Johnson can do with the material.

Agreed, the alien sub-plot was weak, and there also isn't a traditional villain to make things interesting. I might need to revisit this but I remember being bored as a kid by the alien-related story, and the ending kind of fizzed out.

This article seems a bit harsh. We get it, BvS sucked and everybody that happened to enjoy the movie is doing it wrong.

I dont watch much SNL these days, but I saw the 40th anniversary special and that was the joke they showed for Jost during the weekend update clip. And yes, it loses its punch after the first time.

One of things I remember distinctly from the movie Dead Man on Campus was the use of Bowie's 'Golden Years' in the opening credits. Still one of my favorite Bowie songs.

His character in Big was hardly 'villainous'. He was actually quite likeable. That's the movie I most associate him with. RIP.

That's what I figured. There were other teams on the mountain that day, but Boukreev being a part of Fischer's team is a pretty important point.

Mild spoilers:

My answer would be the entire 'Biggus Dickus' scene from Life of Brian. Something about seeing people straining not to laugh always makes me lose it.

Huh. As a kid I have the distinct memory of writing a book report and noticing that the authors names were similar to the names of the characters, but were off by one letter - the E vs. the A. in -STAIN. Why would I have that memory? The authors clearly spell the characters name the same way.

Weird, I heard that too and was expecting to see mention of it in the review. But apparently we heard wrong?

Years ago, Conan O'Brien did this bit about potential new names for the state of North Dakota, and one of the options was 'Haley Joel Osmentia'. I thought that was the most hilarious, bizarre thing ever.

So good. Honestly thought it would be higher on this list.

The Life of Brian scene where all the extras are cracking up. Or any Monty Python set, really.

Beck, "Blue Moon"

They were in quite a few movies together, so I would imagine his death was pretty devastating for her. She was also in Enough Said with James Gandolfini last year. Two actors gone much too soon.

Room 237 was one of my most anticipated films of the year, but I came away from it a bit underwhelmed. I get what they were trying to do but I thought it was poorly edited and didn't flow nearly as well as it should have.

Even though it was technically released December 2012, "The Woodpile" by Frightened Rabbit was my most played record this year.
