I've been wondering about how re-watching Whiplash affects its assessment. The whole film steadily builds to that ending, and the final scene is riveting.

Boyhood is worth it. So is Whiplash.

Yeah, J.K. Simmons's role was just as much of a leading role as Carrell's.

I thought Big Hero 6 was actually pretty good. Most of the characters are developed better in it than in The Lego Movie.

Birdman is interesting to me because of how closely it is tied to the theater. It comments on films quite a bit and uses film technology all over the place, but the process of watching it feels like a play.

Honest question: Can someone explain to me their love for the Inherent Vice screenplay without mentioning PTA? I mean, just talk about story and how it is constructed… because I did not enjoy that story. It was a slog.

but… Why give Led Zep crap for enjoying music made by all kinds of people and incorporating (and paying tribute to it) in their sound?

"MB: And, look: I might be massively misinformed."

There's a bit more going on in Revenge of the Sith than I think you're giving it credit for, but I agree that killing off Liam Neeson's character and Darth Maul so suddenly wasn't the wisest story-writing decision.

There's a lot more than just trade disputes. Actually, the main issue with the trade dispute in the movie is that it isn't explored enough. It's just a means to an ends to get Palpatine to be a playing puppet games. The other issue is that the character design on the trade federation characters is goofy and underdone.

There's plenty of substance in The Phantom Menace, but a bunch of parts were just made in a cheesy way.

Since I watched The Dust Bowl a few months before Interstellar was released, I was surprised and delighted to see the footage used in the film.

I'd like Snoopy as a pet.

Ein is the most realistic looking character.

Growing up, I had a three-legged dog. She had four legs at first, but then she was hit by a car, so we had to have her front right leg amputated. She was a fast runner on three legs.

Something Awful did this better.

There must have been a point when he was writing this song - perhaps he was jamming alone at the piano - and it occurred to him to use a certain chord progression and a certain rhythm. It just sounded 'right' at the time, but before that thing was published, I'm fairly certain the thought was brought before him, and…

I agree. However, I also just read a bit that indicated the acting, cinematography, and editing were largely dictated by the screenplay. The use of magical realism is in the script, too. The dialogue might be a little weak, but it plays on a few levels (as commentary on the character(s) and on acting and productions).

I re-watched it not too long after it was added. The story was different from what I remembered having seen as a kid, but I still liked it a lot. It's interesting that most of the movie is about the jetpack itself. It's like Iron Man in WW2.

It'll take an excellent screenplay and a director with enough clout and respect for the book to make it happen. Wiki says there is (was?) one in development, but I'll wait on the judgment.
