I'm worried about this also. I use streaming, but I also like to seek out very specific movies. For me, Netflix's biggest selling point is that you can have a huge selection of DVDs shipped to your house, not that you can stream a random assortment of movies and shows. If they ever discontinue shipping, I'll…

I wouldn't mind as much if Deckard never showed up in the sequel. At least then it would be easy to ignore if it sucked. But the moment you include him as a character you ruin the wonderfully ambiguous ending to the first movie.

The dignity of the Alien franchise has already been sullied, and it happened long before Prometheus. So I'm fine with him making Prometheus 2, but please, dear God, leave Blade Runner well enough alone.

My first two memories of Richard Pryor growing up were of Superman 3 (of course) and The Toy. The ending of Superman 3, when the human villains were transformed into robots by the killer computer freaked me the hell out. It was like a Cronenberg film but for kids.

One of us. One of us. Gobble-Gobble, Gobble-Gobble.

I was really hoping this would be a triumphant return to form. I'll probably at least give the album a spin on Spotify.

As others have mentioned, he does get piegonholed as a one-hit wonder (even though he's had several hits). I also think the critical community and people in general take longstanding artists for granted. If Morning Phase had been Beck's first album, everyone would have gone crazy over it.

The new Sin City is actually pretty damn good. I'm not sure why the critics have decided to beat up on it. In some ways, it's even more visually unique in today's comic book film landscape. When the original Sin City came out there were a number of films pioneering the green screen look. Today, most comic book…

What I don't get is that the negative reviews were pretty general. They mostly complain about the wait between movies (which isn't really a critique of the film itself), that it depicts women poorly (there's some truth there, although it's more complicated than reviewers make out), and that the visuals aren't as…

We might be the only two people in America who watched Sin City 2 this weekend, but I also really liked it. Rodriguez expanded somewhat on the visual elements from the first movie, and I thought the new stories were well told (if a little undercooked compared to the first film). If you hated the first Sin City, then…

I don't mind when adaptations change a book's plot in order to better fit the medium of film. But if anything, the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings movies show that audiences are willing to sit through more episodic films.

I've only read the first Oz book, but your idea is so simple and straightforward it's shocking that no one has moved on it in the last decade (I suppose we had Return to Oz, but I'm not sure how close to the books that film is, and it was a long time ago).

I'll fully admit that I was looking forward to this sequel. I thought the first Sin City was one of the few green screen films that actually clicked. I'm also a huge fan of film noir, so I've always gotten a kick out of Frank Miller's near parody of the material. Granted, the first Sin City is probably Rodriguez's…

It's been a while, but I think it's Aeris in the American version and Aerith in the Japanese version of the game. I'm not one-hundred percent sure why this is the case. Maybe the "th" sound is a little strange ending for a name to an English speaker?

Maybe it's all a lark. But as much as I love Tarantino the filmmaker, I'm often annoyed by Tarantino the man. He has a pretty big ego (which is mostly justified by his talent as a director), but this leads me to believe that he might overestimate his acting abilities.

I would agree that Basterds feels like a few great scenes that don't hang together as well as they should. But for me, I thought Django was a great revisionist Western. I also felt like the plot of Django was a little tighter than most of his films despite its length. Still, the one thing Tarantino needs to stop…

Sounds all right. I might have to kachina cable television at some point.

I'm pleased to see Jackie Brown starting to get more of a critical reappraisal in recent years. If I remember correctly, at the time plenty of people treated it like a watered down version of Tarantino's regular schtick. Among my friends, it was the one Tarantino movie that felt underwhelming (of course, we were…

When I was younger I used to decry the stupidity of Americans. As I've matured, I've come to recognize that the rest of the world is just as moronic as we are.

It does seem like there's a marked difference between their "proper" albums and all of the wacky gimmicks they've released. Wayne can be annoying, but, you're right, they've been on a pretty solid run when it comes to their full length albums.
