That's because they interpret that is "…I now only go to theaters to jack it."

They also want to limit trailers to those coming out within four months; this I fully agree with.

Be angry all the time! It's a lot easier.

Hmm… the review of The Fall this week, also about NI, also with Gillian Anderson, was that it was way too slow. Maybe they're on metric time there or something?

Might be marketable though.

Yeah, it only takes one "this is the story of my distant mother the father who I spend my life up until now failing to win the approval of" personal project to know that deep down, even the creatives among us can be really banal and trite.

New Yorker knows what it wants, and by extension, what we want.

Oh, you get that for everything.

Well, it hasn't happened yet and there's still many, many opportunities for the director to bail, the studio to have some turnover (and no one likes inheriting a crazy, near-impossible-to-market leftover idea), actors to get arrested, or I dunno, the coming plague.

As I find the disc service to be of little use, I find myself using Amazon streaming over Netflix more and more (plus a yearly prime account is cheaper than any Netflix plan, and you get 2-day shipping on everything). So for wavering customers like me, even if AD is a kind of loss leader, it might be a good idea to…

So sweep after sweep, the dealer count went down, and the beggars simply took up their positions at, yes, specific points along the main drag by the university. Over time the dealers got…

Except Life cereal.

We all know how it ends already.

Yeah, the only time you get anything good is when you tell them exactly what you want, and even then it's dodgy. Maybe if you're in one of those mythical "close" or "interactive" families you see on TV they might surprise you with something awesome, but usually you discover that at least the gift certificate won't…

Sarah Jessica Parker looks like a horse! Neigh!  …I need a cigarette.

(Removed for being silly.)

Wahoo! Blonde Marling week! Chillin' the chardonnay as we speak!

I know the term is considered evocative, but really "Shadow Dancer" and any variation really needs to be consigned into the hackneyed cliche pile. Yeah, we get it. The world is full of metaphors, similes and analogies - give an underused one some work!

No, no, no! The world is fully of innocent naifs and deranged mustache-twirling villains who are bad for no reason but because they're bad! All the people one one side are good by definition; the others are pure evil! Every last one!

Which part of the project attracted you? I mean, on the surface it sounds like utter shit. Sure, if the acting was really good, the humor funny and it was one of things that had more bite and stuff to say than it revealed could be really good, but (IMHO), value would have to be in the execution, since the premise is…
