That CEOs want to sell to everybody and Republicans only need to appeal to their base to survive.

You've heard it Cracked. Now hear it… Twisted! *guitar riff*

The movie actually does mention VERY briefly in passing a couple provisions of the Dent Act (and it sounds draconian and unconstitutional), but this is an instance where getting a detail "wrong"* is so much more entertaining. Long live the Two Friends!

It's like that guy who, in a discussion of controversial advertising, just says "Hey… we're talkin' about it!!" over and over again.

People of 2009: (500) Days of Summer isn't sexist. It's a self-aware critique.
Marc Webb: I like this script about the guy named Webb, with the MRA talking points.
Me: (staring directly into camera)

If I'm not mistaken, all but one of my favorite sequences are in the second half of the movie.

I'm clinging to Howl.fm for as long as I can because Stitcher Premium's website has failed in one way or another every time I've used it.

That's assuming there ever will be any dynamite scenes. I think they have a bad show that will have bad visuals and they're leaning on the fact that it's technically incomplete to deflect criticism.

Why should the list not be as complete as possible? It's not like it's super-long. If they filtered out things they're not super-hyped for, I wouldn't have learned that the third Trip movie is coming this month. Hitman's Bodyguard will presumably suck but I'm sure there's someone with a soft spot for crappy action

Apparently he directed two episodes and has a producer credit. It's pretty clear in my opinion that Rachel Bloom is the primary driving creative force that makes that show special, and Marc Webb shouldn't get much real credit for it besides having good taste.

I think about the never-ending corn detasselling conversation in The Starfighters weekly. It irreparably damaged my ability to hear "Iowa" without filling in that actress's delivery.

Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol on true six-story-tall IMAX remains a favorite. The Burj Khalifa nearly gave me vertigo. I still enjoy the movie on home video, but it'll never have the same impact.

I'm not surprised at all; Travis is the strongest at punny one-liners, which @midnight naturally rewards. I'm very glad he and the other boys got to be on that show before it went out.

It has problems as a whole, but it contains one of my favorite moments in the series when Bond tries to do the "My name is Bond, James Bond" line but gets cut off with "Names is for tombstones, baby. Y'all take this honky out and waste him."

He does stop the airport attack, which was the part of the movie where the most lives were in direct danger. But that happens relatively early on, and the rest of the movie the stakes are much more personal. I love that about its structure.

I feel like Waltz having that "born to be a Bond villain" vibe is a small part of what doomed him. He felt so obvious to the point of seeming generic. Of course, a much bigger factor was all that backstory nonsense they saddled him with.

I believe my first in theaters was Tomorrow Never Dies, but I'd seen tons of Connery and Moore (and at least one Dalton) on cable.

I have very little understanding of how most cable things do in the ratings, so I'm glad to hear this is doing alright. I never hear anything about it, so I'd kinda assumed the opposite was true. I suppose if it performs decently, that would help explain how they get so many good guest stars (the other factor being
