Yep, Billy Costigan in The Departed, a rich asshole if I've ever seen one!

Hill worked really hard to get that role because he believed in it and the story. Calling it "actively seeking critical and awards validation" is reductive, as if he only cares that Wolf could get him an Oscar and not that he wanted to do great work with Martin Scorsese.

"mimicking Abe Lincoln."

How you tell the story is more important pretty much every time. This is why The Big Leboski is a better movie than Color of Night.

"Doesn’t everyone agree that Bullock is the weak link of Gravity?"

One of my favorite Keitel performances. The switching of Judas' role from villain to the story's moral conscience pay excellent dividends, and Keitel breaks your heart multiple times in the film.

Yes. This is a great film but I'd rank Last Temptation higher.

Judging by the end of his life he might have changed his mind on that particular front.

Mel Gibson is an auteur. He's just an auteur obsessed with terrible things.

It's kinda about fascism, it's kinda about commercialism and over-consumption, it's kinda about the inner depravity of humanity, but it's really about Pasolini's own nihilism.

Ok, then let's talk about the real message of the movie: "all of humanity is bad and doomed." Flash that for two hours.

Jimmy Pesto is pretty funny, if totally loathsome.

No it isn't. Perhaps the worst film ever made by a great filmmaker.

That doesn't seem that far-fetched to me. Ben is incredibly lazy when we first meet him.

Forget about Shia, there are many worse people. For instance, Rush Limbaugh will be performing at some point today on the radio.

The first time you see Egon truly upset/vulgar. He delivered that well.

He's great in the movie, but let's not go out of our way and say he was the best part of it. Knocked Up has a lot of great stuff in it.

Nicolas Cage actually has more winners in recent years than Cusack. There are no Bad Lieutenants in Cusacks recent output.

Apparently Murray visited Ramis recently upon learning how sick he was. It looks like they may have made up while there was still time.

I'm a pretty cutting wit.
