They work in different genres, but Clerks was a phenomenon comparable to The Sixth Sense in terms of its cultural impact, if not on its smaller-scale budget and box office.

I'm here to see my little girl. I wanted to show her Daddy's Thing!

Shyamalan has the same career trajectory as Kevin Smith. He coasted for a while on an early success, but his subsequent failures have added up to the point that his failings as a filmmaker are suddenly apparent even in that first hit. And now apparently he's making films in a shared universe, too.

I think pacing is one of his biggest weaknesses. Unbreakable, which should have been fun, was ponderous and slow, full of boring slow-zooms on a non-emoting Bruce Willis.

I got the opposite impression from reading The Man Who Heard Voices. I mean, people are complex, and they change over time. But he sounded like the kind of person I wouldn't want to hang out with at a dinner party

At this point, Steve Harvey should know not to stare blankly after people say things

Jughead's burger habit is contributing to global warming, and will destroy us all

Archie's jalopy had more distinguishing character traits than he did

I totally agree, but even though I don't think creator intent is all there, I can't help but interpret the weirdness in a more-or-less coherent way

Heh, I don't even remember that. A lot of season 2 is a blur for me…people turning into wooden knobs and whatnot

It looks like a mod deleted a reply to my comment that asked a question about Cooper's status at the end of the series. In case anyone's interested, here's my read:
Remember, the series ends with Cooper and BOB racing to the Black Lodge exit, and based on Cooper's behavior in the last scene, that's a race that BOB won.

(actually all three of Jackson's children are his biologically)

explain Duncan Jones, then, smart guy

spiiiiies like us!

Well, if you go down the list past the things that you CAN'T stop, this is the kind of stuff you land on
