But, I mean, that's what I loved about it - I felt like it was saying both that cinema *is* important, that it *can* mean something to people, AND that it's overblown and full of itself; that both of those things could be true at once.

Saw this at a screening on Tuesday, and, man, do I feel like people are grading it on a curve because they expect pure, life-shaking genius from the Coen Brothers at every turn. I enjoyed the hell out of it. Yes, it's light on plot, and no, it won't make you rethink everything you know about society, but it's damn…
I've long maintained that Hanks would win in a landslide if he were to turn his attention to politics and run for president.
Before I heard the music from Hamilton, I really wanted to dislike it, because all of my friends who were raving about it were bougie, white, theater kids whose knowledge of and exposure to hip-hop doesn't extend far beyond the theme song to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Then I listened to the record, and…it's really,…
Two things I learned today, thanks to this article:
I think it's a sign that I've spent too much time on AV Club that, when I first saw the name of this movie, my initial thought was, "Wow, they made a movie about Nathan Rabin?" High five, bro.
Here's my one question: How did Miller know who to attack when he got to the Blue Falcon? You see two groups of people engaged in a shootout…which one do you side with, having no other context? Was it just the guy who was closest to him?
Tessio sleeps with the fishes.
Oscar Isaac Ex Machina dance FTW.
I have my favorites and lesser-favorites among their catalogue, but Shearwater has still yet to make an album that I can't at least qualify as "very good." This one clears that bar easily. And if you do get the chance to check them out live, please do - they kill it.
Came here for Robyn from Jessica Jones - was not disappointed. My favorite most ridiculous Robyn part was when (SPOILERS, I GUESS) she convinced the support group to go challenge Jessica to her face…and somewhere between leaving the diner and getting to Jessica's apartment, "challenge" turned into "beat up with a two…
Yeah, why couldn't they have just had her do the accent? The character looks fun otherwise, but I feel like that would have put it over the top.
I think I'm going to like Leto's performance as The Joker, but man, do I hate the look they gave him. Ooh, metal teeth. So hardcore.
I feel like this was the weakest episode of the series so far. Maybe it's because most of it was invented whole cloth rather than taken from the books (and, yes, invented *by* Franck and Abraham, but still). Maybe it's because I don't understand why Avasarala would treat "What kind of person is Holden?" like that…
Very much, indeed so.
Come the fuck ON.
Are you knocking Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake? HOW DARE YOU?
I'm pretty sure Mateo didn't ram the cops - he threw his rock at them, getting taken out in the process. That's what I got from that scene, anyway.
Do they really need to make a Creed 2? I mean, I get that, yes, because money, but I kind of wish they'd just let it stand on its own, which it does exceedingly well.
I suppose inspiring Kanye can be the Persian flaw in Bowie's legacy.
