Just watched the movie yesterday, and still not sure whether I liked it or not. One moment trying to be shocking to a comical extent, the next trying to be sincere (teamwork's important!). Was genuinely impressed to see an action movie like this where women are serious people and not sexual objects. You know, until we

The show's running on most cylinders right now, yet each episode could be an hour of this cast playing jacks with the death ribbon-salesman vampire kid, and I'd still watch.

Lily: "Aw c'mon Dorian, B-positive."

Wagner has screwed up my knowledge of Norse (and, for that matter, Marvel) mythology in general. Even fundamental things like names I only think of in the German from the Ring cycle. Odin? Nah that's Wotan. Sigurd will always be Siegfried.

Oh and whenever I hear the song I want to insert the lyrics "God's got bread/It's surely a rye"

Let's talk about the song for a second. For some background, The Newsboys don't really write their own music, and they've got a revolving lineup (the band's been around for 30 years). The title song was written by a musician named Daniel Bashta, and originally called "Like a Lion".

Thank you - I don't think American audiences or critics dislike religious movies as a rule. It's just been so easy recently for not-particularly-talented filmmakers to make a 90 minute piece of crap film and make a gigantic profit off of it.

Must've been your lifelong ambition!

I was so annoyed after seeing that in the theatre. If there's a silver lining, it was the first most audiences saw of Oscar Isaac, who seemed to carry most of the charisma in the movie.

Poked around the local FYE and saw a display for the new Bieber album. It was being sold in 3 ways: CD, CD + women's t-shirt, and vinyl. You know, because you need all 180 grams to hear his artistry in the way it was intended.

Ha thanks for that

I'm just looking forward to the scene where Poe Dameron and Kylo Ren do an acoustic set.

Oh my god in my head I wasn't sure whether to read that in a Jar Jar voice or in a Short Round voice…so I did both.

I think the movie is great, though the death bit was probably unnecessary. It felt tacked on, especially after what was to me the one of the best movie scenes I saw all year, when Lincoln meets with the Confederate delegation to put the kibosh on any further ambitions they had.

Looking forward to seeing this. Just watched the Exodus on HBO the other night, and while it does all the Ridley Scott (who BTW is 77!) things well (atmosphere, scale, pacing), the whole thing just comes off as entirely unnecessary. This looks like it will be a nice shot in the arm.

Oh my goodness - I don't even remember if I saw a movie where the audience had this reaction or if I only read about it later, but this was wonderful.

The problem for me would be I'd keep unfairly comparing it to the Wagner Ring cycle, kind of like how people compared the TV Sound of Music (stage) production to the movie.

Ah can't forget to give Smetana some credit where it's due

I'm with you for so much of this, but I think From Russia With Love is such a catchy tune (and has the honor of being the first Bond "song"), and Tom Jones just murders that last note in Thunderball (plus it's Tom Jones).

A couple of my favorite recent trailers were the teasers for Inception (which very briefly introduced the Fred Astaire hallway fight, and the WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW BIN LADEN "surveillance" theme for Zero Dark Thirty. At the time both directors were riding high off of (what still may be their most)
