Not according to Chomsky, man. Hey, you ever thought that everyone sees colors differently? Like, maybe my blue is your orange?

No, he did multiple takes in both languages, so their are technically two nearly identical versions of the same film made up of entirely different shots.

And at the end he meets and kills a girl named Autumn

One of the great musical rites of passage is the realization that Mr. Brett is the better songwriter in Bad Religion.

I have a significantly higher tolerance for Conor Oberst lyrics than most, but when he sings "leave the cauliflower in the casserole today" in "I Must Belong Somewhere" I start to wonder if I'm wrong to be such a committed Bright Eyes defender.

No. Everyone from Chicago hates them too.

Looking For The Magic

Pretty sure you guys are being trolled.

I think it's interesting that the two biggest complaints about the movie are that 1) superman let, or was unable to stop, so many people from dying, and 2) he also chose to kill Zod. I know that you haven't said anything about Zod's death, and that you didn't see any moral or emotional weight in the images on screen.

It makes sense when it's mimicking the cinema verite style because the camera is operating "in the moment" and needs to adjust to follow the action. The Office is trying to mock that style blended with talking head interviews (Basically style of Hoop Dreams. Also reality TV, though those shows are staged enough to

Ignored with lingering shots of the aftermath and crumbling of buildings. I honestly didn't even notice.

The rape/murder comparison is pretty weak. Both are about as immoral as actions get. But based on the definition of murder, no one is walking around with the psychological damage of having been murdered. Not to mention that murder is about 1/6th as common as rape. There is also no social stigma surrounding murder

@avclub-7d26c14b4a096a0afc48154974c4b7d6:disqus , The point about watching your family getting raped being liberating reminds me of Brief Interviews With Hideous Men where the interview subject is describing the story that was told to him by one of his sexual conquests in which she describes the empathy she felt for

@avclub-2a6ac9e5324952e36b40237cf2fcdad8:disqus  Have you ever had a debate with someone without putting words into their mouth? I didn't make that point about you calling me pathetic because my feelings were hurt. I made it because you're a hypocrite.

@avclub-2a6ac9e5324952e36b40237cf2fcdad8:disqus , if you are this upset that a random person called Charlie And The Chocolate Factory garbage, this world is going to eat you alive. And I'm not saying that to be insulting. Tim Burton and Johnny Depp are laughing their way to the bank. They really don't need you to

@avclub-2a6ac9e5324952e36b40237cf2fcdad8:disqus , I didn't realize anyone had such strong feelings about Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, or that someone could have such a visceral response to my four word sentence (which was admittedly dismissive, but it was also referring to a remake of children's entertainment).

I thought the end fight sequence had really massive stakes. But it was only based on the fact that hundreds of thousands of people were being killed indiscriminately and Superman was defenseless to protect them. I guess it would have been way more dramatic if Lois Lane was stuck in a car during an earthquake.

I don't agree that it was the anti-Spider-Man origin. Pa Kent was concerned about what the existence of Superman would do to the public, not what the public would do to him. He had no knowledge of Zod or the destruction he would bring. It's very easy to imagine Pa Kent recognizing the shift in responsibility if we

Hated the zooming. It makes sense in The Office. It's a distraction here.
