Fucking right, and fucking unbelievable in equal measure. A guy whose movies have all been less accomplished and less successful with each passing attempt (Man of Steel excepted, although it's certainly a piece of shit that only achieved its box office success on the basis of brand recognition rather than quality)…

I saw this in HFR, which looked better than last time, but still mostly dreadful. Anyone else?

Eh, they find actual Star Wars too scary, even when I crack out the Clockwork Orange style 'eye openers' that I made specially. Its the fucking Sand People. Then those other kids at school with their Angry Birds Star Wars T-shirts get their hooks in. Its not a battle you can win.

I can see how this might be a lot of fun if you like or liked Lego, but this trailer just gave me a headache.

No cuts, just endless slow fades.

It was repeated on British TV a year ago, and I watched it thinking "Lordy this scared the crap out of me when I was young, but now that I'm in my thirties I'll be just fine…"

You may have written Loch Katrine, but in my mind I heard Cock Latrine. That's a different thing, though, isn't it?

Nooooooooooooooo!

Yeah, I loved Harper's Island.

TV shows, eh? About subjects? With characters? Doing things? At times? Which we watch every week? Even though they are all going nowhere? Slowly?

This bit's good:

Well, now that I have crushed Hawkman into a rough cube shape, I can relax.

"Fuck this Ikea shit."

I was taking shrapnel in Khe Sanh when you were crapping in your hands and rubbing it on your face!

That fucking scene still stands out in my mind as the single most frustrating sequence in modern cinema. He never even got a bite of the fucking sandwiches! They looked delicious! Fucker!

Contract stipulations:

Fair enough - I guess both times I felt that the movie was trying very, very hard to be cool in a way that struck me as insufferably precious and superficial. Both times I started out liking it, thinking 'this is so smart, the dialogue is so witty,' but both times the dialogue seemed to become the point after a while,…

Agreed. I can't fucking bear this movie, and I tried to watch it twice (I figured maybe I was in the wrong mood the first time). Second time I managed to get to 45 minutes before turning it off. I kind-of like the dialogue, and the central conceit — but its so slow, empty and self-satisfied. Its just all pose.

Van Morrison shuffled right to the top on his beefy Celtic drummers.
