Not even the farting boner corpse is as violently awful as the puppy monkey baby. So yeah, big draw.

Yeah. You need that airport fight to be one where clearly nobody is trying to hurt anyone too badly (except Scarlet Witch, of course), that they're just trying to get the upper hand, to juxtapose the final fight where it's abundantly obvious that someone is likely to die.

The oboe solos absolutely killed me. And "Haiku" - the piece of the score after Marlin and Dory get swallowed by the whale - is just masterful. Reminds me a lot of the way Newman turned Shawshank from a quirky period piece into a TNT-marathon epic.

I haven't seen Spectre - but what he did for Skyfall was not very memorable. I don't know how much of that has to do with the strictures of scoring Bond movies, though - not a lot of flexibility. When Newman has a free hand (his Pixar scores, The Man with One Red Shoe, for god's sake, etc.) he's a lot more…

If I ever meet Richard Kind I am going to be at once furious at and grateful to him. I cannot watch Inside Out without outright ugly crying at two specific spots, both involving Bing Bong. The obvious one, of course, when he dives off the wagon… but I can't even type, "She can't be done with me," without tearing up…

I'm just astonished that Ratatouille and Winter Soldier were your breaking points, because those were two high-water marks for their respective franchises, in my opinion.

I think for me, about 70% of what made Finding Nemo great was Thomas Newman's score. In the hands of any other composer I think the movie might have been less affecting.

That moment in Superman and Gene Hackman's delivery might be one of my favorite moments in film.

So is Snapper Carr going to be like St. John Hawke? Damn these cost-cutting Vancouver relocations.

Take that brush, and just beat the devil out of it.

The other thing is that Clarkson et al. are assholes who don't mind being acknowledged as buffoons, whereas Chris Evans is an asshole who bristles at being called one. Self-deprecation, no matter how illusory, seems to be more palatable than preening.

You can be like that playing an XBox game without being a "straight-up villain."

I don't think she was enthusiastic about it at all. She didn't even know who the Crystal Gems were when they announced themselves at the Kindergarten, and when Jasper told her to fire on them from the Hand Ship she acted bored, like it was just another thing to tick off the to-do list.

I am unreasonably happy that Peridot called him "Steven Quartz."

Except Peridot was never a straight-up villain. She was always just doing her job - that she had no empathy for the Crystal Gems was just an outgrowth of her being a focused technician. Even when she tried to trap and poof the Gems in the abandoned spaceship, she was doing it to stop them from destroying her tools…

Speaking as someone who would dearly love to see a Black Widow movie, a female Bond would be amazing.

Phoenix, actually!

Season 1 Steven would have had a tantrum and probably gotten everyone into a fix by a ridiculous scheme to keep Lapis around. But (fanboy theory ahead) it seems like with each new episode, Rose-Quartz is becoming more and more of a presence in his psyche as he matures. I think the more he figures out how to use his…
