Yeah, Hancock definately felt like two very different stories mashed together without enough time (or effort or interest or whatever) to try to make them mesh.

Maybe The Stand. I mean, the religious stuff was lurking in the early part, but it was mostly a story about different people trying to survive. Then it became this kind of state football championship thing with two teams indirectly competing against each other for no real reason. And with lots of religion - I don't…

I dunno. Making a personal attack on her would be out of line unless she'
s said or done nasty stuff I don't know about, but she does seem to dwell on some themes in her films that a lot of people find off-putting. There's a huge difference between saying someone's body of work is shallow versus saying they're…

Well, who wants to see a slut-shaming film on an indie DIY budget? You'd barely be able to fit any shame in there at all (though if your cast was game, probably some sluttiness)!

He's one of those spawn that Paris and Janeway left behind.

A superficial movie about shallow people that is, ultimately, pretty boring? Oh Sofia, what happened to you? You've never been like this, except, of course, for every film you've ever made!

…I'll drive.

When I was younger and much stupider, I always liked to see what people were like drunk, as the lack of restraint and inhibition showed the "real person" inside. Turns out those restrictions and limits *are* most of the real person, and deep down there's usually a whole lotta nothing.

Yeah, and in 2D, film grain, motion blur, etc, etc. But even the director (in the interview on this site) said "nostalgia". Nothing wrong with that if that's your bag, but it seems kinda tacky. I mean, filming a character study or romantic farce in thermograph would seem ridiculous, but I'm not sure it's really that…

I dunno. The Power of the Internet? I'd still prefer the Mooninite's Foreigner belt that gives all the powers of the rock group Foreigner.

One of the things I like about Strange Days was how it revealed that the big conspiracy didn't go to The Top - it wasn't even a conspiracy after all. Just two asshole rogue cops.

One of the kids in class had some official Mork suspenders, with the flair and all. I was so jealous (but then my favorite sports unis at the time were classic 70s Astros and Buccaneers, so my taste might have some issues).

But… humans have nev seen in black-and-white. Barring incredibly severe color-blindness, B&W is a wholly atificial view that only existed due to years of technology limits. It's like the crack and pop of vinyl, or the loud extra noise on a Harley Davidson. It's artificial and soaked in nostalgia for nostalgia's sake.

Because it's ART, damn it!

That bridge's father is the district attorney!

You have Clay Aiken riding a unicorn painted on the side of your custom van? Though I suppose you could just be some kind of ironic hipster.

TV; failing to reflect real life for the 60th consecutive year. Bad TV! Maybe next year.

Fat people on TV can only be paired hot skinny chicks or go home alone to cry and masturbate. There is no room for a fat guy who just wants some regular-person lovin'!

Well, maybe they like it so much they watch it on multiple TVs. Like whole bank of them, each with their own HBO subscription. Because they just love Girls that much (on HBO, not real ones)!

Diversity hire. They're really hoping to fill the CIO of Ass soon, but for some reason all the resumes they get are full of crap.
