Really? It's one of like three Basinger performances I can stand.

8 Mile is a movie where you forgot how good it is until you stumble on it on TV somewhere and end up watching the whole thing again.

I'd argue effects/compositing matter pretty hard in action movies.

Reminder that everyone her should check out Huges' RED HILL, a nasty little Australian neo-Western starring Ryan Kwanten. It's the reason I'm still holding out for his stuff even after EXPENDABLES 3 was such a mess.

I had some hopes because it's an action-comedy actually directed by an action director instead of Paul Feig or some Seth Rogan buddy. I'm so tired of these movies being 90% comedy and god-awful action for three minutes to pretend it's doing both instead of just another post-Apatow riff-fest. SPY was pretty much the…

Olivier Megaton is a cinematic criminal and deserves to be launched into the sun for what he did to Taken 2/3, Transporter 3 and Colombiana.

The posters are awful, but the red-band trailers looked pretty good. Reynolds' delivery of "WHY ARE WE BOTH SHOUTING!?" gets me every time.

Just because something is stupid doesn't mean it needs to be attacked.

That scene in Coven where the white witch-hunter was murdering the black women while "Let Freedom Ring" played in the background was one of the most insane things I've ever seen on TV and if that happened in 2017 Murphy would have been drawn and quartered by Twitter.

Yeah he is important, the quotes were for effect. But that leads to people treating him with kid gloves due to it, that's just modern artistic criticism. I'm not one to whine about DEM SJWS or DEM WHITE KNIGHTS but there is a genuine trend to brush off criticism of art made by non cishet white men due to social value,…

He's one of the few LGBT showrunners with clout and name recognition. People are afraid to really criticise him because of how "important" he is.

I err on the side of morality having little place in deciding on what should and shouldn't be created in art. I'm pretty much of the opinion that the moment we really start trying to police arts for its morals is the moment we start censoring.

…what?

And I reject the notion that coordinated online harassment by both fans and media sites to tell people to stop making something "for the right" reasons isn't a form of censorship. Mob justice is a form of censorship.

Not in a technical sense, but at this point we have to acknowledge that social censorship is a thing.

This argument is bizarre. From what I can tell, the major issues with GOT's social politics in its writing is mostly sexual, ie how they handle rape and their version of feminism being kind of cringe-worthy.

I feel like you're wilfully ignoring the tepid receptions Haywire, Side Effects and The Informer got at the time. Hell, even the first Magic Mike's reception ened up at "cute but hollow." Behind The Candalabra was praised for the acting more then the direction.

really more like The Outlaw Chimpy Wales if we're being honest

The dialogue is mostly pretty bad in a 90's "too cool for school" way that suggests Soderbergh really didn't care what was being put down, and the lead actress was just terrible.

I generally agree with you when it comes to stuff like Newswires and GJI, but reviews are a little bit of a bigger deal and deserve better attention.
