I'm probably too late on this thread, but what the hell…I read that Gillian Flynn completely re-wrote the third act, but I can't really detect the differences. The movie is certainly a lot more compressed than the book, but it seemed to match the plot beats almost exactly. Can someone who read it more recently than me…

Yeah, I ended seeing most of the Harry Potter movies at some point or another, despite never much liking any of them. And the main thing is, they just end up becoming incomprehensible. I recall one of them in which a glowing white deer shows up at one point for no reason to save the day. Someone tried to explain it to…

I almost went to see GotG this weekend, and then decided against, because I'm feeling burnt out on Marvel. So, question: if all the recent Marvel movies have struck me as competent but kind of dull (including Avengers and Cap 2), is GotG worth a look? The previews are fun, but on the other hand: a bunch of characters…

So, I'm with subtlesloppydrunk on this one. This email is overdone and slightly gross. I mean, he's talking about the script for The Avengers, for Christ's sake. The role of Loki might very well have been fun to play, but juicy?

I'm never going to see this movie, and now I'm pretty curious about the ending. Spoilers, please.

Ending was a bit flat, clearly the weakest part of the movie. I still loved it, though. Scared the crap out of me (not hard to do) without over-the-top gore (which I can't stomach).

Eh. For some reason none of the jokes in that movie landed. It just didn't have any heart.

I don't agree that there's something sad about wearing a fake gaudy watch. I suppose it depends on the wearer's intent, but to me it seems like a potentially awesome way to troll people who care about expensive watches. Look at how agitated @Lemur is getting. It strikes me as pretty damned funny to wear a huge hunk of…

It seems @avclub-da1842602ab6734038ba5231f0624994:disqus is doomed to have his schtick misunderstood.

Optimus gives a heavy exhale in the end of the trailer. Why do the robots appear to breathe through their robot mouths? Do they have robot lungs that exchange oxygen into their robot bloodstream? Do they take meaty robot dumps when they're done throwing robot punches at each other?

It's time for a re-reading of Pale Fire, isn't it? It's coming on 20 years, but I still remember laughing out loud at this:

I know, right? Do comic book fans get upset when film makers take artistic license with their favorite characters' elaborate and absurd back stories? Hell no!

I'll chime in here as well — I've never watched Community and only recently found out who Gillian Jacobs is or what she looks like. I find her episodes hilarious, although I confess this may be because I'm a "PFT fanboy," if we're defining that term as someone who thinks PFT is a very funny, talented comedian. It…

I have no opinion of Zac Efron's acting, but I'm pretty sure he's the actor I'll go gay for when Obama mandates gay marriage. My wife is moony for pale, Scottish actors, and I just don't get it. Zac Efron looks like what would happen ifJude Law were bitten by a radioactive Brad Pitt.

Agree. I enjoyed this documentary, but mainly because the subject was inherently compelling. I thought the film itself bungled some of the narrative — it was hard to tell at times exactly how events unfolded. Could make a really fun fictionalized movie.

Because of the Doritos you're shoving into your filthy face, you mean?

At the bottom of the review, the "most read" article is "Horace, N.D., woman charged after allegedly hiding broken drug pipe in vagina." Somehow that seems about right.

It's really weird how a Aronofsky-directed Bible story is so Roland Emmerich-friendly.
