I think a few have said this in a roundabout way, but I think one of the strengths of the movie are that none of the bigger issues are resolved at the end. Potter's still big and powerful, and Bailey's still necessary to keep him from overrunning the town. Bailey still loves his town and family but hates his life

Pretty sure Rosseau invented the noble savage, not Cooper.

enjoyed the last half - or half hour - of 12:08 of Bucharest. Could find no reason whatsoever for the first half - or hour and a half— to exist.

re: the famous last scene in "The Untouchables"
I think you've missed the point. It's not that Ness will enforce the law, whatever the law is; it's that he's the enemy and opposite of Capone and men like him. He has no issue with alcohol, he has issue with men who engage in organized crime. If Capone weren't

I'd love to see a quote from an interview, or anything, that supports the claim that Avatar is "trying to be a serious movie." Whatever that means.

You guys need to compare notes—
from TRobinson, re: G.I. Joe:

THANK YOU
for giving "Julia" the praise it deserves.

I like Keaton…
definitely prefer him over Chaplin (the endless mugging gets old,) but didn't like "The General" that much. Like Harold Lloyd's "Safety Last!" it's fun to watch for the outrageously dangerous stunts, but there's not much in it that I find terribly, classically funny. For belly laughs, give me

this would have been so much better
without the infidelity/gigolo plot. Beth Grant should have been the main character.

Isn't Israel technically a part of the African continent? So wouldn't Golda Meir be the first woman president?

I realize
that commenting on a post with 1700 comments already is like shouting on Pluto, but…

I wish
the costume designer would put the bit-part Glee Club girls in something besides cheerleading outfits every now and then. I mean seriously, is every day Game Day? And taking your Glee Club yearbook picture wearing your cheerleading outfit? Lame.

Holy crap, Natasha-
I think this is the most depressing review I've ever read. You seem to know that it's a bad, boring, bland movie, and yet you're unable to give it the grade it deserves. Disney Princess Syndrome is stronger than I thought.

and here's my
"Yeah, I saw it…and I HATED it" list:

um. I tried to post that 3 times, first as 51-100, then as 51-75, and the spambot killed it both times. So apologies for the lack of editing.

instead of just giving you my top ten…
here are 51-75, according to me.

I guess that makes
Christopher Nolan the Director of the Decade - Memento, The Dark Knight, and The Prestige all on the list, 3 out of the 5 movies he made. Proving we still prefer action-oriented films with substance to arthouse fare or Oscar bait.

Disappointed!
I just picked up the David Cross album because I love Arrested Development and it was on this list. Come on, guys, it's 90% open-mic shit. Seriously? A drunken redneck impersonation followed by a boring story that ends with a "this is how I sound drunk" punchline followed by a blase rant against

racial profiling.

I disagree on both counts. KW wants to incorporate her new friends into the community, but Carol resists. That has no parallel with Max's sister. There's clearly something else going on between the two of them.
