Having never read the comics, I would say that, in the case, they're both miscast. But kept thinking of how a younger Willis could sell this role.

Space opera is a fairly specific genre of sci-fi adventure stories that is distinguished by 1) travel between different planets within a space fantasy world that is implied to be very large; 2) a focus on various courtly and political intrigues and machinations within said space fantasy world; 3) little-to-no interest…

We actually review based on NYC openings. It was def on the radar, but a different film was picked instead. (On a given week, we're picking what to review from like 20-25 possible titles.) We may have even been picking between two different very limited release French movies with non-name directors!

The answer may surprise you: it's Donald Trump.

Eh, real life experience is over-prioritized. Most of us will fall in love, get older, deal with trauma, have families, etc., yet that doesn't stop us from producing bogus or clichéd dramatic depictions of these things.

The outtakes are just several minutes of actors flubbing lines or losing track of some semi-improvised bit and giggling. Some of it is literally just the cast taking direction from off-camera.

I didn't mention it in the review, but there is (how did this make the final cut?) a reference to Obama being the current president.

Odd as it sounds, I was hooked by Beware Of A Holy Whore, the movie about how terrible it is to have to work with Fassbinder. https://www.youtube.com/wat…

Perhaps. But an LGBTQ filmmaker did: Derek Jarman, who used "The Sea Interludes" in The Angelic Conversation, and also made a film adaptation of Britten's "War Requiem." Other LGBTQ filmmakers who've used Britten: Terence Davies (in Distant Voices, Still Lives) and Pedro Almodóvar (in Talk To Her).

Benjamin Britten (same circles) as well. Though obvs. none of his film work (most of which was in scoring documentaries) addresses his sexuality, his works for orchestra and stage do, esp. Peter Grimes, which might be the greatest opera written in English—the story of a fisherman (a role written for Britten's…

"My Dream of the Dream of Franz Biberkopf," Berlin Alexanderplatz.

Those are both great films. And damn, you're starting with Advanced Studies with both of 'em.

This is definitely not true. The reason nobody wants to examine the logic of Toy Story or whatever is because at no point in making those films did anyone at Pixar or Disney say, "We should make it clear that World War II also happened in this world. Millions of toys fought and killed each other. This is their past.…

CAN CONFIRM.

Let's say the matter is treated much the same way as Denny's drugs in The Room.

I appreciate how he shows that he did actually more than one light but chose not to use the rest by repeatedly leaving lights in the background.

My views on that clown Dryden are well-documented.

Leo Tolstoy learned at 67 and became a daily cyclist. Never too late.

Memento cost $9 million (about $14 million in today's dollars), which is a lot for an indie thriller. (For comparison, Pulp Fiction cost $8 million.) Insomnia cost $46 million (about $65 million today).

A well-know quote from the French avant-garde director Jean-Marie Straub: "Nature has ten million times the imagination of the most imaginative artists."
