DC really screwed up by not going with Whedon. He would have been the perfect director for this project and could have set the appropriate foundation for the rest of the universe, in terms of tone and style.

The SNL app is free and has clips from all 40 seasons.

Well obviously. I just assumed everyone knew that rule.

Or "Leatherstocking"

The song is used to magnificent effect. I don't remember when I first saw the movie, I just know that it's been a source of constant inspiration for most of my life. Hawkeye is one of the most perfect movie heroes ever developed. I realize his character is based on the books, but I think Mann took enough liberties…

For me, it's on my list of "perfect" films, which includes Mohicans, Heat, Goodfellas and Unforgiven. Just everything about it is right. Every scene, every decision, every creative choice. As close to perfection as a film can get.

Is there anything the NY Jets don't destroy?

They screwed up. They admitted it as soon as they got back on Icarus.

Scientifically, you premise isn't true. A planet could in fact be in a stable orbit around a wormhole. It wouldn't necessarily be a hell hole.

A possible explanation for the placement of the wormhole is that it has to be in a certain spot to lead to the correct place. Since a wormhole is basically like a tube passed through a folded piece of space-time, if you want it to go to point A it has to begin at point B. You can't curve it, in other words.

For a lot of people, Interstellar was literally their first exposure to some pretty mind-blowing ideas. Personally, I read Forever War decades ago, so this idea of the relativistic nature of time and how that would potentially affect a space traveler was kind of old hat to me. But for other people it exposed them to a…

I saw them in Chicago this last tour. They were freaking fantastic. The Chicago show ended with Rebellion & Wake Up back to back. It was amazing.

Obviously it's not 2001 or any kind of any all-time classic. But it was one of the most enjoyable movies that has come around for years.

The one thing I can actually understand is the calculation that 1 movie = 1 billion in profit, 3 movies = 3 billion in profit. I mean it's hard for any mere mortal to walk away from two billion dollars in potential earnings. It doesn't really excuse the barrel scene, though.

Have you guys ever stopped to really think about Al Pacino's speech in the bar? I don't have the exact words, but it's basically:

Me too. It's hard to go back to watching all the mystery stuff knowing that it's SPOILER ALERT just random shit they made up because it sounded "cool", as Moore freely admits in his podcasts.

You like Battlestar Galactica's ending?

Quiet you!

You're implying that Dennis isn't likeable?

I thought it was a pretty remarkable achievement just from the point of view that it didn't turn out to be a giant bag of crap. Cap isn't an easy hero to interpret for the screen. But they wound up getting the tone exactly right in the first one, and made one of the best superhero movies ever in the sequel. Think of…
