You know we see movies before the general public, right?

For something that isn't graphically violent, it contains a lot of mass slaughter.

To answer that:

The leaked script didn't include the final chapter.

No worries. And FYI, Morricone's score is now online…

Trailers almost never feature the real score, because it's one of the last things started and finished on a movie. There's a whole industry that just composes music for trailers.

Yep.

It sometimes takes movies a while to make it to theaters (many of this year's best premiered last year or earlier), but we have a "grace period" system for that, and Out 1 fell way outside of it.

A jingle bell is a type of small crimped bell.

In English, the way it's pronounced in the first 1-2 seconds of every one of these.

The pre-Moby-Dick novels aren't that great, but Pierre and The Confidence-Man are masterpieces, and Israel Potter is a lot of fun.

Awdry and his brother mapped out the continuity all the way back to pre-Roman times. (Did you know there have been three Sir Topham Hatts? Or that Christianity was first brought to Sodor by Irish monks in the 5th century?)

A lot of great books on film out there, but essential's a different category. I would say someone should give Hitchcock a try the same way I'd say they should try The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

Actually, Sodor's North Western Railway, while technically a part of British Rail from 1948 to 1994, was always more or less independent, which is what allowed it to maintain steam engines past the diesel switchover. (Despite being a clergyman who wrote books for children, Awdry was comically resistant to the…

M's point is that the drone will only do what a distant operator will tell it to do, but the man is there, in the situation, and makes a judgement call, and a lot of the time that means not pulling the trigger. (Of course, Spectre being very 21st Century Hollywood Screenwriting 101, this plays into the ending.)

No. In Stranger Than Paradise, they're blackouts between scenes; it's just that the scenes are all one take apiece. That is not the case here.

You're not being an arse. It's sometimes hard to work technical comments in, because our home video reviews are first and foremost about the movie. Starting with this one, we're adding a short "About this release" section. You'll find it above.

In a nutshell: In the lead-up to the limited release, they would only to show it to media based in New York and LA.

But is it more romantic, though? Because with a word like snob, you can have the fake Latin origin, or the reality, which is kind of an amazing window into 18th century England. Here is a world where people need to get their shoes fixed so often that they come up with a slang word for it. You see an entire mindset,…

But false etymologies are false histories. In both of these cases, they invent aristocratic roots for words that came out of the speech of the under-class. It's all history.
