Wesley is Not Cool
Okay, let me start off by saying that I love the depiction of Wesley in this season of Angel, and am on board with the idea that his arc is the most interesting and fully realized journey any character in the Whedonverse takes. But I'm completely baffled, and a little repulsed, by the idea that…

yes, but not as good as Death Races 2-1999. those ones are the best.

Yeah, the pro-baby boomers have really drowned out the voices of boomers who are anti-baby.

Yeah — it's pretty much the opposite of every other American movie. The movie is really anti-individualistic.

Good points, eh — I didn't mean to imply that the movie's some kind of unremitting slog. But it is pretty unflinching, and it doesn't come by its joyful moments easily, yet so many people seem to think it's some kind of sentimental, syrupy Capracorn. It takes the hardest and most painful compromises of growing up and…

One of my favorites…
…and incredibly dark for a Christmas movie. Your parents had it right — George Bailey just gets dumped on . The question isn't whether he was right to stay at the Building & Loan — he's just like most people, stuck in job they never exactly chose, slowly surrendering the romantic dreams of their…

You Forgot…
Art Adams. At the very least he gave us Ed McGuiness, with whom he now works on Hulk. The best of the late 80s, in my opinion.

Shit… I've seen this movie but seem to have blocked that part out. I remember it being freaky. Care to spoil it for me?

Yeah, but how much fun are they? Silly stereotype or not, Lord John is a delightful character. And he's brilliant enough that we can imagine the British government and people withstanding his eccentricities.

Best Reaction Shot Ever
The big reveal of Earshot, with the lunch lady pouring the rat poison into the big pot, might be the single funniest reaction shot in the history of everything. Seriously, bust out your DVDs and watch the expression on her face. I'm laughing just remembering it.

As mentioned above, couldn't Cage mean that the human race will soldier on on another planet? It actually sounds kind of interesting to follow his arc from skeptic to believer, then watch him die, with no evidence one way or the other as to whether that arc changed or meant anything.

THAT I could actually understand… but it sounds like here it's only kids who make it to the afterparty, and not even just Christian kids. I see your point about something like Left Behind, but it doesn't sound like it applies to this one.

How about a movie that justifies the deaths of billions of people with… nothing except, "hey, wouldn't it look cool if billions of people all got exploded?!"

Stupid and ridiculous are one thing — repugnant and despicable are another. Also, based on the other comments I've read here, I'm pretty convinced the movie DOESN'T in fact have a Christian message, which makes all the umbrage taken here even sillier.

What A Weird Review
I haven't seen this movie, and is sounds awful, but what's so morally repugnant about the last act? You basically imply here that the movie is vile and disgusting for daring the have a Christian message. Look, I'm a good little athiest, humanist, communist, college-educated liberal pussy like…

God, the "Harmony reality show" aspect of season 8 is awful. Very casually, Harmony reveals the existence of vampires to the entire world, and their response is nothing more than "Vampires exist? Neato! Do they make dolls of them?" At least in True Blood (which is an awful show) there seems to be a public dialogue…

Damn
That crazy hoot on the sample track is awesome.

Hoynes the VP? What? You're saying he's the main character of the show?

Hey, can someone explain that "man falls in a hole" joke to me? I love this show, but I never got what the heck Leo was talking about in that line. What's the metaphor? If your friend is a crackhead, you'll become addicted to crack so you can quit together? Why doesn't he just help his friend up out of the hole…

A Prediction
As horrifying as it is to contemplate, I think the body bags are Walt Jr. and Skyler. Walt's gone off the deep end — he's really an irredeemable character at this point. It's a tragedy, right? We're watching this guy bring about his own downfall. Next week, the retribution is coming. Causing the deaths of…
