As evidenced by The Devil Inside taking #1 last year to the tune of 33 mil.

ZMF. Because I don't get to chant the nah nah nah hey hey hey good-bye song nearly often enough. 

If that review was meant to dissuade people from watching Gangster Squad, it failed. I think I got a violence boner just reading about it. Also, it sounds like Sean Penn nailed his performance as Cohen, no? If you want to read a review that turns you off the whole thing check out Roger Ebert's scathing dismissal. He

Especially when it never began! There's not a single Chain Saw related death in the original. Not one!

John Carter was actually pretty good though and the Lorax ate it for breakfast and shit it out in an orange pile two weeks straight.

I'll bite. I defend that film because at least, AT LEAST, it wasn't a retelling of Alice in Wonderland despite its title. It was actually Alice: Return to Wonderland and although I found much of it heinous, the central idea was a good one. 

There is nothing so disturbing as Pinocchio being played by Roberto Benigni. 

Headhunters
The Cabin in the Woods
Moonrise Kingdom
Prometheus

ParaNorman
Looper

When did Queen of Versailles come out because that was one of my favorites this year?

Who else cheered when they saw The Pie Man as the pretty boy villainous racist mouthpiece?

Last year the academy won my heart by recognizing Rango. This year I hope they do it again by recognizing ParaNorman which is a technical marvel with the beating heart of the 80s under its puppet flesh.

You seem irritable.

I think the idea of DKR, and perhaps the trilogy as a whole, is that society does not work when the people stop working for it.

I was only sort of into the Innkeepers. It never hit that sweet horror spot that needs a scratchin'. Defend its status as a new classic of the genre.

True. But TDKR was unfairly maligned. My suggestion for everyone still licking their wounds from their theater viewing is to watch Batman Begins, and then skip right to TDKR. They are a thematic duo and although I don't think either of them are as bombastic and riveting as TDK, they harmonize in a way the middle film

Yes. My exact thoughts were, "Wait… is this like a drunken hypothetical about whether we would kill Hitler if we had a time machine? Bait and Switch!  Gimme back my taut, stylish sci-fi thriller!" I still enjoyed the movie it became but I couldn't help but detract points from the experience.
