Funny.

err, SPIES. That - sadly - was the only movie I could think of.

@ Confessions: great flick. And I'm sure there're some more (besides SPIKE LIKE US) I guess you can fault me for forgetting one movie that bucked the trend 10 years ago, but think about it - before and after, there've been 500 movies that retreaded the last job cliche.

Agreed. Or if you're looking at comedy, maybe an assassin whose conscience wins out but then he finds that he can't make it in the real world. Wait, is this a movie about PTSD?

@ vandermonde - a future-assassin as a fry cook? I'd watch it.

I swear people use random generators to come up with these plots. Is there an inventory on films that showcase criminals on their "last job?"

Why not a movie about …
An assassin on his very first job?

@ Blinky: can you email me some of your writing?

The whole International licensing thing should be put on the ixnay for US citizens. For one, what if you're on a military base? Officially, you're "in the US," but it still doesn't let you watch shows.

Especially when you can watch those shows directly from ComedyCentral.com … and you can do so Internationally! Hooray.

@magnusbarfood:

It's okay. Most Southerners get it wrong, too. The good thing about seeing "ya'll" everywhere is that you can choose to insert whatever meaning into it that fits: yak wall, yam hell, Yaz pill, etc.

Tasha
You all = y'all = ya'll

A.I. is the bee's knees. I used to feel the same way as Modell, like Spielberg had somehow bowed to pressure from his own longing for sentimentality, but then a friend of mine told me about the possibility that the ending was actually very grim …

Ditto. I came here to say just what Rickster put perfectly. And I can only hope that Modell reads these comments, because Spielberg's not a moron. He made the end of A.I. look like something out of a Thomas Kincade painting, which is kind of a fitting metaphor, now that I think about it …

I'm going to see this movie to support Sharlto Copley, a man who's living in a Cinderella Universe right now. If the A-Team makes a ton of money, and it surely will overseas if not Stateside, then ol' Sharlto will get to make more movies and higher billing.

I keep expecting the news … any day, now …
Studio greenlights AIRWOLF re-boot!

Mayhaps, but they didn't both to ask Tom Noonan about his role in Part 2, either, during his Random Roles. I call bullshit on the AVClub's fandom.

Where the fuck is ROBOCOP 3?
JESUS … for self-proclaimed ROBOCOP-fans, you AV Clubbers certainly miss every opportunity to fucking ham it up with those involved. Stellar work, ol' CCH did. Stellar.
