Yep. If the appeal of a film (or magic trick) rests only on the reveal of a twist then it's not very good, as it would only be entertaining once. A good movie — and I definitely think The Prestige is that — can be enjoyed multiple times, even after the trick has been revealed.

I can't think of anything sillier to be loyal about than corporate branding of a skyscraper but hey, whatever floats your boat.

It's so clear it's also still 2008 up there!

The only time I remember calling a help line for a computer game was for Ulysses and the Golden Fleece when I was still a pre-teen.

I was visiting my grandparents for a couple weeks over the summer and my aunt and I had been playing this together. Part of the solution to the game involved…

Also: you can see Christie from an airplane, so even if he were in a flyover state, nobody could miss him.
Because he's fat. Just wanted to make sure everyone caught that.

I do! Thanks!

Not sure you need those last two words.

When I worked at a movie theater in 1989, I accidentally put the reels in the wrong order before the first screening of DeepStar Six resulting in lots of nonsensical plot jumps as well as characters who had been dead suddenly being alive again. Luckily for me, the movie was so terrible that none of the (very few — I…

Really? There's a billion better things to be concentrating on when it comes to Trump.
Not only is this not really mock-worthy — "Haha, somebody pronounces a word slightly differently then some other people do!" is not funny, it's just reality — in a lot of those soundbites, I don't even hear a third syllable.
Do…

So who's going to do exactly the same thing to Josh Patten, who I assume tweets about uninteresting shit himself? Sure to be equally "hilarious."
Note to joke writers: if you think you need to explain your joke, it isn't funny.

I can assure you it was a lot.
A whole fucking lot, to be more precise.

I asked her this past Sunday during brunch if she liked to eat at
restaurants, and she told me, “I could just eat what we have at home.”

I hope he doesn't read this.

I just rewatched this and was reminded of why it's been so long. It's pretty great for the most part but it's also downright painful to watch. (And not just because the handheld camera bullshit sometimes makes me physically queasy.)
My biggest takeaway: I sure wish Sydney Pollack had done more acting because man, he's…

See, sometimes being a crotchety old man who prefers music made before he was born really pays off. I have never heard of Ed Sheeran and even after seeing this episode, I have no idea who he is or why he's famous, so I was neither distracted nor annoyed.

I'd like to say I'd come to see your band but if you're gonna play "Hooker On A Feeling", that ain't gonna happen.

I think I'll name my next band Reasonable Music, just so we can (hopefully) have some real live Reasonable Music fans.

I loves me some Guardians of the Galaxy but the notion that either of the two mix-tapes are "bitchin'" is a bit much for me to swallow. They're about half good, a quarter meh, and a quarter just plain awful (and reasonable music fans would likely not agree on which songs fall into which of those categories.) The songs…

Countertake: It's actually pretty entertaining, which is probably why so many people enjoy watching it.
