Even at its most repetitive, I always found Hugh Laurie and the gang very enjoyable to watch, and what I've seen of this season has been a nice shakeup.

And also in "Never Let Me Go" and "Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus" and probably everything else he's been in.  Yet this guy gets acclaimed for being a good actor?

No, because they blew more of the budget on Garfield's hair than on that mask.

Really?  I thought it looked cheap, like he was practically floating through half the trailer.

I'm in.  I loved that scene (apart from it really needing to have been earlier in the movie during the "Well this suit's kinda cool" part of the plot).

Yeah, that was the problem right there.  Rather than having Peter just be himself trying to act cool (and therefore being goofier), then escalating to his (attempted) murder of Sandman and maiming Harry, it went ass-backwards.  3 really had all the elements in place that could have made for a great movie, but the…

You won't get any complaints from me.  "Incredible Hulk," despite being promised to be the "dumb action movie" Hulk that "everybody really wanted," ended up having even fewer action scenes.  And far less inventive at that:  the best Marvel Studios came up with didn't even have the Hulk, it had Edward Norton running…

Maguire was perfect, it's just that most of the movies' running times were devoted to him being mopey.  That in itself was perfect…for the Peter Parker half of it, but when it came down to having the wiseass Spider-Man bits, the script was pretty bare bones, though Maguire does get one great line in the first ("Hey,…

Whistling ass is no laughing matter.  It's a major symptom of colon cancer, and Mr. McDermott should see a doctor right away.

Or they could just watch the Puppy Bowl instead of the Super Bowl.

Hey, don't you know that you're not a REAL rocker these days unless your lyrics are about how abstinence works and you shout "DON'T DO DRUGS!" at the end of your show?  The goal is to never ever say or do anything that will make people uncomfortable.  Rock on, motherfu—-er, I mean, dude!

Considering the private space race has been going on for a decade and hasn't even gotten a man into space (even though NASA did all the legwork for them), I'd say we're safe for another…thousand years, maybe more.

Ah yes, a classic scheme.  Very devious, this Mr. Aglialoro.

So you just hate women writers?  ;)

Hell, I'd argue that with the most 'talented' and 'exceptional' people in charge, there hasn't been a real leap forward in technology since the PC (yeah, yeah, the internet, but that actually predates the the rise of home computing on a technicality, the rest of us just added cat videos and snarky AV Club comments to…

I'd get Werner Herzog to direct a shark movie.

The producer's so into rational self-interest, he's willing to lose even more money on making a cheap TV movie of dubious quality that no one but the most equally rationally self-interested Objectivists would pay money to see, let alone admire, rather than take the time to make a 'good' movie.

Same here.  I was kind of hoping that the handheld stuff was just going to be a framing device, or something like the flashbacks in 'Rashomon" where you get conflicting perspectives and the viewer has to decide the truth, just because if it really was a movie where the kids are the ones "aiming the camera," it was…

The exact words escape me at the moment, but he said something to the effect of "why didn't Spider-Man get together with Mary Jane," because it totally wasn't implied at the end that he did it to avoid endangering her if another enemy discovered his secret identity and that he had to be responsible.

I agree.  The guy who was confused by the ending to "Spider-Man" totally is the greatest mind in film criticism today or any day.
