In fairness to Hollywood, I was working for a production company in LA when the Studio 60 pilot script made the rounds and it was a really great script. The issue became when you actually see the skits put into practice and they sucked balls.

I saw Fox just released a Die Hard Four Movie DVD Set, so even they refuse to acknowledge it now. Also, apparently it was directed by the same dude who did the remake in this series. He's the real anti-Christ.

Bowzer and the rest of the band will be thrilled!

Both Avengers films have a few continuity blips like that, don't they? Loki's face is messed up at the end of the first Thor but is fine in Avengers. The Avengers disband at the end of the first one, but are just back together again at the beginning of Ultron. It's all stuff that can be explained away, but it's a

I thought Black Widow's were good, but I didn't think Tony and Cap's really told us anything new about the characters. And hate is too strong a word. I agree with most people here that the movie was good but coulda been better.

Yeah, honestly a lot of the problems I had with the film seemed like they came from Whedon's side of things. Thor in a pool was dumb but minor. I thought the Scarlet Witch nightmare sequences and Hawkeye's farm were way more problematic than that and I'm pretty sure that stuff came from him.

How about best Crossovers?

"We didn't have room for Jimmy Olson in our pantheon of characters, so we thought it would be fun to have him get shot in the head." Snyder is a maniac.

Also, Marvel's strategy for hiring directors is really starting to look like one of the best outside-the-box thinking strategies. "We'll get the guy who did The Rocketeer, Kenneth Branagh, Shane Black and those guys who did the Community paintball episodes."

Honestly, I'm not psyched about this, but I have one question for all these people complaining about this ruining Ghostbusters: Have you seen Ghostbusters 2? If the original cast and crew making a turkey doesn't ruin the first one for you, this one won't either.

In fairness, the plot of the first film does involve a building built by a human that amplifies paranormal activity.

Is there an actor who has a worse crap to good ratio than Gerard Butler? I mean, does he have even one OK film in the last ten years?

I'm going to get hate for this, but I'd categorize these as great technical films but utter failures as comedies. To each their own, though.

Controversial opinion: The 13th Warrior is underrated. Dumb, but a lot of fun with a kick ass Jerry Goldsmith score.

No Coach Riggendorf is a grave oversight:

Time is almost up. It's your last chance….for pie.

Retread probably sounded overly harsh. I guess I just feel like a lot of the thematic elements that Bulger's story raises, like blurring the lines between the crimefighting/participating and trying to function around a raging psychopath, were already done by Scorsese and those interest me more than just learning the

I have to admit, with Black Mass I'm pretty unlikely to go see a retread of material that was basically already covered by Scorsese and Nicholson. Especially when the review uses the term "wiki-inspired."

I went to a SAG screening of Funny People where the cast had an interview afterward and Sandler seemed like a genuinely nice guy, especially when taking audience questions. I think his movies lately are shit, but if people are going to reward him for half-assing stuff, I don't know if I blame him for doing that.

Goldeneye will never be the best Bond because of the awful, awful synth score throughout that movie. I'm with the camp that thinks Tomorrow Never Dies is a better movie than it.
