Surprised Wedding Crashers, Dodgeball, or Old School didn't make the list. It's been a while since I've seen them, maybe they don't age well.

I read an article where he said his performance takes the Joker character to darker places than any other actor had previously. Interesting to see if his performance can cash that check, he's certainly confident.

This movie probably would have benefitted more financially from a November release

They sound like a force in the podcasting business that will have to be reckoned with

So!

Oh I was just making a cheap joke, I'm sure the movie does a fine job explaining the set up

James Cameron's masterpiece

Rotten Tomatoes is also a poor reflection on whether an actor has given up. Jack and Jill is a terrible movie, but anybody who admits to seeing it can't tell me they watched Al Pacino and came away with the conclusion that he is coasting now.

Rotten Tomatoes needs to put a lock in the reviews that are added after a certain point. Back in 1999 I remember Fight Club was sitting in the low 60's because I paid attention to these kinds of things, and now in 2016 it's at 79% which is a much less accurate reception than it initially received.

Or TV shows, which just seem to be reviews of the first episode or so of each season.

"The days of The Intern, New Year’s Eve, and Last Vegas still lay ahead."

If nothing else, it has a pretty remarkable cast. Hirsch, Cuthbert, Olyphant, and Dano have all done great things.

There's suspension of disbelief, and then there's Zac Efron using Craigslist to find a date.

"Director Jake Szymanski doesn’t bring much visual flair to the proceedings (despite a background in the visual mimicry of HBO’s 7 Days In Hell and some Saturday Night Live filmed pieces), mostly falling back on an overuse of slow-motion pop-scored strutting."

"Just cash the checks, Cranston"

Escobar is a snooze anyway. We get it, he dealt an absurd amount of cocaine.

Good, Scharpling has to eat

Jill Bennett's illustrations for Danny the Champion of the World are also incredible, and superior to the ones Blake redid.

“I just watched my friend Ian McShane . . . there was Max von Sydow . . . I’ve got friends like Clive Russell and Liam Cunningham, and Charlie Dance is an old pal"

Played Cards Against Humanity at a party for the first time, it was probably the most unfunniest thing I've ever taken part in. Maybe I was just playing with a bad deck.
