The "puff piece" is about the Superbowl champs visiting the White House. The fact that even this puff piece was used in an attempt to insult Trump goes towards proving that the media has it out for him. They didn't NEED to dig up the 2015 picture, but there was already a controversy with Trump over pictures and

We know who the good boy is. Cosmo!

It's like watching all of the adults in A Series of Unfortunate Events genuinely being fooled by Count Olaf.

"cheap and embarrassing" has been a decent description of GJI for a long while, political or not.

I disagree, people wouldn't waste time spewing hate at a waste of space like Trump if people didn't care that he now represents the US, and we care enough about the US to take offense to that.

Seriously. My gf was complaining that the new Star Wars poster should have been more symmetrical and I pointed out that asymmetry is a big part of the Star Wars motif. These kinds of similarities aren't necessarily BAD, just interesting.

Acknowledging that, it was still:
The constant shifting movement of a younger man than Grand Moff.
Cushing was pretty stiff all the way through his career. That's not a complaint about his acting, just a big reason why it doesn't look right.

*claps* Now defend Polar Express!

Ironically, I have found that the House on Haunted Hill remake is actually one of the better liked horror remakes.

Man, I wanted to love that movie SO MUCH!

Enough is enough, I have had it with these motherfuckin' wars in these motherfuckin' stars!

I love the commentariate, the ability to have civil discourse online.

I get that it theoretically has the emotion, but it also has some seriously shitty CGI going on. The dumb flips between floating platforms over lava? Way too overindulgent for me (and I like Peter Jackson's King Kong). It also had some seriously bad dialogue ("From my point of view, the Jedi are evil!") whereas the

When the ragtag band including a guy with a questionable past and an incipient force user had just gotten off the desert planet with the droid carrying vital information to the rebellion (but before they teamed up with the grizzled veteran/mentor figure from the last big war) I almost turned to my girlfriend to say

As with every time this movie comes up, I feel the need to express my completely unironic love for this movie. The first time I told my girlfriend she asked me when the last time I saw it was and assured me that it wouldn't hold up to my childhood memory. I have the DVD, the last time I had seen it was less than a

Huh, interesting choices. By that metric, I'll go with Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It was horribly derivative of the original, leaned WAY too heavily on nostalgia, and had some really dumb stuff happen in it (Poe shows up alive later, "Yeah, I was alive the whole time and am just showing back up now"). That was a

The Darth Maul lightsaber fight scene. Yeah, I am going to say that scene by itself makes The Phantom Menace the best of the prequels. I get the problems with the movie, I do, but at least I didn't walk out of the theater scratching my head trying to figure out WHY shit happened. Why was there an army of clones?

There should be an awards show to celebrate the most self-aware members of the movie industry! Huge red carpet affair showing their humility and acknowledgement that it's all just in the name of making a buck.

And yet he will always be Jake the Muss to me.
