I hear you. I guess the flood of these types of pieces - Oliver's is one of many, many, many such take-downs - is just starting to feel a little masturbatory, to me.

"maybe his supporters will eventually realize that everyone else laughs at them too."

Oh, I totally agree. But then, the point is, why make these pieces? If reason isn't going to sway these people, why spend time and money and effort making these elaborate take-downs that everyone knows aren't going to work? The only people I've seen posting this, and other things like it, online are my liberal friends…

I can't wait for the huge surge of Trump supporters who will abandon ship after the utter DESTRUCTION leveled by Oliver, here. Surely, *this* will be thing that convinces them they're backing the wrong horse, where every other video, think piece, or tweet that "destroyed" Trump has failed.

I really enjoyed this film. I don't think it's going to change anyone's life, but I'll be damned if sci-fi cinema doesn't need more movies like it - smaller-scale, intimate, about people and emotions rather than spectacle. Micahel Shannon is great in it. I have some minor quibbles about the ending but, overall, it's a…

Post-credits scenes in a Marvel movie? The deuce, you say.

I'm really starting to the think that the Internet needs to take a break for a few years. Like, all of it. Because, honestly…who cares about any of this? People post about a celebrity dying, and then we get think pieces saying why it's bad, and then we get think pieces about those think pieces, and think pieces about…

Yes, that was my attempt at what the kids today are calling, "a joke." I make no claim as to the quality of said joke, but there you go.

I hope there's an explanation in the film as to why Quicksilver has apparently moved on from Pink Floyd and embraced Rush. Not that I think anyone ever needs to defend loving Rush, mind you.

There ain't no comin' back.

I'd love to see Ford pull off the double iconicide and have Indiana Jones killed off in this film.

A big, nerdy thank you to both Field and McShane on this. I mean, look, I love me some comic book movies, fantasy TV shows, and anything with robots, aliens, and/or wizards in it, but the whole tendency to treat this stuff like sacred text has gone too far, especially online. I'm glad these things aren't being…

For real. Most of the footage I've seen of apes recently is of them just chilling out munching on some leaves.

I knew paying the kind of astronomical rent prices required to live in a tiny NYC apartment would yield a jackpot, eventually!

Last night, Mrs. Palazzo and I were watching Contact on Netflix, and when the last shot of Jodie Foster sitting on the hood of her car staring wistfully off into space appeared, she hit play on "Walk of Life," which she had cued up in anticipation of the end of the film. We stopped laughing about half an hour later.

The Alex Chilton anecdote is my personal favorite.

Absolutely, The whole time I was reading all the commentary before his section, I was thinking, "I'll bet they got Albini and he slams the book." I was not disappointed.

Whenever members of my band argue, I always think back on this book and the moment when Barlow tried to brain J. Mascis with his bass on stage and think, hey, it's not so bad.

Yeah, I understand why they attached the name Cloverfield to this, because a movie this small-scale, released in March, probably would have vanished quickly, from a box office perspective…but boy, howdy, are a lot of people who don't read up on this stuff in advance going to be pissed when they find out that the only…

Yeah, I think they are being WAY too hard on the ending, here. It's a definite shift from what came before, but I thought it was a lot of fun.
