But… but…. you didn't threaten to knock anyone's teeth out?  How do we know it's really you if you don't threaten someone?

I really can't muster up enough energy to disagree with really any ordering of those top 3.  I enjoy Memento the most, and think that it has the tightest storytelling, but I also had a fantastic experience seeing that in theatres.  I need to see the Following, and I didn't much like Insomnia (despite loving the…

I love the fuck out of the Prestige.  I feel like the point is that it's a somewhat underwhelming finale, because after all that build up we wanted something far more clever than a machine that duplicates people.  Just like the Great Danton wanted Bale's trick to be more than just a double.  It took a while for the…

A friend of mine was speculating that Thanos should be the underlying villain of all of Marvel's Phase 2 movies.  That all of the conflicts are in some way his attempts to collect the infinity gems, and they can play off all of those flicks collectively as the middle picture where the villain keeps winning, only to…

@avclub-b0dae075785888267fc19871f3e7dab7:disqus I think the Avengers did Thanos and the Chitari (sp? let's just call them what they were, Skrulls) very well, getting across the scale of their power.  The other attempt didn't come from Marvel studios (Fantastic Four 2), and failed miserably.  Hopefully the groundwork…

I think Marvel might be relying on the fact that it already did the Avengers, so audiences will get that this is a team of superheros who have come together to fight a threat larger than all of them.  Avengers in space is how I imagine they'll sell it, and have a few introductory scenes for each of the characters.  No…

That's true, but if nothing else I think we're supposed to take from that exchange that they might be wrong in hating him so very, very much.  I don't think the show has justified their distaste for him.  Sure he did some fucked up stuff (which would get him permanently disbarred if it got out), but why do Jessica and…
