Because he reminded you of daddy before he left?

Thing is he asked for Greaser's Palace.

I knew a guy in 8th grade who absolutely believed that in WW2, we had battleships that had wings that folded out from the sides like Space Battleship Yamato and flew around over the ocean and fought in aerial battleship dogfights. Part of me was jealous that I didn't live in such a fantastic world with such cool…

Considering how much jizz these things will soon be covered with, I hope the cards are absorbent.

Someone had to keep it from being a total sausage-fest (I suppose Cameron could be a girl, but I don't know who that is).

Eh, I disagree. Even the cape needed to go - seriously, why capes? Having the S - obviously an S - have some Kryptonian name was ridiculous.The costume is a crutch they use so they don't have to make him a real person; the clothes make the man so that's all they need.

Yeah, but that's like disliking a movie adaption of a book because the actors don't match the images you created in your head. The point - comic characters in the real world and apply comic-book writing forms to real-world events (which I think is the official version) - seems like it would be really hard to do in…

Well, if it's not SUPERMAN but some similar-sounding guy in the same movie with the same (renamed) good and bad and ancillary people, would anyone care?

Reading this, spoilers, other reviews, I'd expect this to be like returns, where I could sort of see how other people might like it, but for me, eh, 2 hours i'll never see again.

Sure; Superman was the way to teach Jewish self-loathing to young Jewish children. That gentiles picked it up too was a nice unexpected bonus.

That's an opinion I just can't respect.

And the award for damning with faint praise goes to…

I can't think of a popular internet site that disappoints me as consistently as /Film. It's weird, I'll be urnt out and think 'I haven't gone there in awhile" and it's just weak reviews whose biases show, vague industry news that doesn't lead anywhere and just… eh. I mean, I don't go to a lot of other places that…

You do wonder about the "must dumb it down to appeal to the foreigners us studios look down on even more than our domestic cattle-like-customers" idea would get pushback, especially by people used to being the big dog. Just like in the late 60s the last time the studio system died, the old bigshots predicted the…

Credit cards peaked with that guy who got drunk Nick Nolte on his. Barring porn or, I dunno, animation, I don't see that bar being cleared.

There's degrees though. A dull, uninteresting quite person with no string opinions living an unremarkable life can be used to make a good story, but almost always as an observer or as a contrast. Whereas as character with something going on, a hook, some inherent interest, opinions, strident beliefs, sexiness,…

Hey, that movie was awesome! I mean, considering the premise, I'd say that was about as good as you can make a Dutch movie about a killer elevator.

I can see that as a horror movie. Every night she takes off the wig, and then when the lights die down and the coke high fades, the whispers start:

I dunno. I mean, we all know that in one certain are, Ike was a real bad guy doing bad shit, but outside of that (however big that is), I was under the impression he was well-thought-of, at least as a musician?
