You went to make a nerdy trivia joke, but picked a monetary value that doesn't appear on the Jeopardy board.

"There's a plot that makes no sense."

Does she? She gives one person an order (and they don't follow it), and the first time someone points a gun at her she capitulates immediately. Hux as a competent officer chafing at being stuck playing second fiddle to a whiny incompetent seems way more interesting.

It was announced this was coming at least two weeks ago on our local public radio stations.

I don't know if I want to upvote or downvote this. I don't think I've ever been this conflicted about a post.

And Faramir has been one of my favorite literature characters for over twenty years because he recognized the corrupting tendency of power and stayed true to his own word. Jackson perverted that to an extreme. I hated all the battle scenes in The Two Towers, but the Frodo and Sam scenes were making up for them.

I thought Del Toro stepped aside because he didn't want to either be away from his family, or transplant his family, for the time it would take to film a trilogy.

Faramir doesn't take the ring because he recognizes he'd be corrupted by it. In the book, shortly before tricking Sam into revealing what Frodo is carrying Faramir proclaims that if he were to find Sauron's ring of power he wouldn't take it for himself. Then he discovers it's right in front of him and he has to

Boromir and Faramir are supposed to be foils though. Faramir embodied the nobility being lost as Dunedain blood was thinned, Boromir was the rashness of man coming to the forefront. I will always despise Jackson after having to hear "A chance for Faramir, captain of Gondor, to show his quality." filled with venom

I really want to see "Why don't you play in hell?" and I'm happy and frustrated that the AV Club keeps posting things that remind me of that face.

CASE would be in the corner weeping if his emotional sensitivity parameter wasn't set to 0.

Only one lens flare in 88 seconds. I… I may pass out…

Ever since I first saw "The Long Goodbye" I've been convinced that Elliot Gould's Philip Marlowe was the inspiration behind Spike Spiegel's character design.

At my local Carmike I've experienced trash cans left in the middle of rows of seats, I've gone out to the lobby when films didn't start or the sound hasn't synced and had no one actually do anything about it for multiple trips to the lobby, and I've been told the wrong theater on multiple occasions (it's printed on

I was hoping someone else would have already pointed out that the Wolverine actor would be taller than the Apocalypse actor. Thank you for not letting me down, Lady Nym.

I've never gotten bad service at an AMC, but Carmike employees consistently make me consider homicide.

I had a very similar Batmobile Hot Wheels car as a kid. It had a little plastic Batman torso in the driver's seat. I stepped on that thing and Batman impaled himself into my foot before breaking off. I'm pretty sure that something like that could get infected and kill a person.

Availability on streaming sites can often wane. Especially if music rights are involved. Also, not everyone lives somewhere with decent, reliable bandwidth providers.

Grave of the Fireflies is one of the few movies I've watched and then had to watch again the next day. Yeah it's got a punch, but I absolutely disagree that it's a one viewing only movie.
