I mean, it doesn't say "this segment lasts one week." It does take a bit of context before those designations' meanings become evident. Did you know what they meant as soon as the text appeared onscreen? Because if you did, bravo, but I have to imagine you were in the minority.

Along those same lines, I did find myself questioning the quickness with which every single boat, including the larger vessels, would either capsize or sink entirely. It seemed like you'd see a torpedo hit in one shot and two-thirds of the ship underwater in the next. Something of that magnitude I would've thought

On this site, the best way to read comments from people who've actually seen the film is to click "Sort by Newest" above the comments section.

I would've preferred something like your idea as well. It seems like a shallow critique to ask for scenes of warfare just because the film has war in the title, but I have to admit that's exactly what I was waiting for during much of the runtime. The film didn't have the scale that it felt like the series was

I was almost positive this episode was going to get a bad review because of the actors' atrocious drunk acting. It felt like they were all doing a parody of a cartoon wino. Overall, though, I thought it was a fun episode. Drunk driving didn't bother me because these are characters known for their bad decisions - I

Saw War for the Planet of the Apes. I admired it, but it didn't quite live up to my expectations. Hard to fault from a technical aspect, and it was intelligent and committed to its vision till the very end. Still felt like something was missing, though. Some fire in its belly. I also could've done without the

I think there's a place for both styles. I haven't seen Hacksaw Ridge yet, so I don't know if it overdoes things, but I thought Gibson did an excellent job with the battle scenes in Braveheart, at least. But you're right, Dunkirk managed to eschew much of the overt brutality of war without feeling like it was

Upvoted for comparing the audio to the invisible but ever-present enemy. That's an interesting take.

I love Interstellar's score. It's certainly not subtle - nor are any of the scores to Nolan's films - but it was quite beautiful and definitely elevated the imagery for me. I thought the use of the organ was a gamble that really paid off.

One thing that stuck out to me about Dunkirk was its lack of blood and gore. It was more about the anticipation of violence than the act itself. I found that to be pretty effective. You don't typically expect a PG-13 war film to be as tense as one that's R-rated, but Nolan pulls it off.

Your last sentence is the most insane thing I've read in recent memory.

…Everyone?

Well said.

It also runs the risk of exploiting real-life atrocities for petty shock value. I'm not sure the guys behind the tasteful idea of having a pregnant woman stabbed in the stomach during her wedding ceremony are the ones to handle such a loaded, still-relevant subject. But if they're able to tamp down some of their

No, I think he's trying to give the illusion of impartiality. The reporter asked him point blank if his assertions also cast doubt on Trump's votes, and his answer was "Absolutely." This guy is a savvy, smart piece of shit who argues his own cases in court. In all likelihood, we will be dealing with him long after

Yeah, this sucks. Loved Hybrid Theory in junior high like a lot of people, and then later became "too cool" for them. In the past few years, though, I've actually come to see that they're talented musicians who continued to evolve over the course of their career. I genuinely love their most recent single "Heavy"

Basically, these dudes had some poor intern furiously googling to find historical precedent for transgender people making poor soldiers, because right now, as of this comment's writing, it's still occasionally frowned upon for an elected official to express explicit bigotry. Astoundingly, their search turned up

Saturdays are for golfing. I'm not sure Trump would attend Don Jr.'s services.

That last sentence is a doozy.

Shawn Mendes did it first in The 100. Even Sheeran's cameos are derivative.
