"I know, I know, love and loss and memory and regret are all universal human feelings, but there's a difference between a film about all of that shit and a film about all of that shit between mopey hipsters"

Return of the King was definitely best of the three- if not for all of the reasons mentioned above, then for Aragorn giving the hobbits their due at the end. One of the most unexpectedly emotional moments of the whole run.

Have to agree with HipsterDBag- Memento should take number one with ease. It's at once a study on objective reality versus subjective reality, an excruciating look on the deceptions we work on ourselves in order to make it through the day, a taut detective thriller, and an incredible gimmick film where the gimmick…

TWBB is the second movie in my life I've walked out of- it was just interminable and uninteresting. If someone had warned me that the first hour and a half of the movie would be watching Daniel-Day Lewis make real estate deals and run an oil company, I could have bought my ticket and then grabbed some dinner. Then I…

The OP has sinned against grammar. Atrocities have been committed against the English language, here.

Mr. Brooks is great, not only for that, but for the scene where Costner and Hurt giggle as Dane Cook almost gets run over by a car.

Firefly/Serenity and Dollhouse- the shows Whedon fans loved so much they didn't watch them when they aired.

Am I the only one who saw Room, which is about a Texas woman who keeps hallucinating about a room in New York? Every time I see The Room referenced I think that movie is what they're talking about at first.

Yeah…how IS Southland Tales not present on this list? That movie was pure, unadulterated, hilarious incoherence.

Sixth Sense was pretty good. Unbreakable was damn good. Signs was ok. The Village and The Happening were dogshit.

Well, the actual ending to the game is the ending of Altair's story; the modern stuff after that I just view as the stinger for the game. Maybe all of it should have taken place after the credits, instead of just the final vision. (Or did that also take place before the credits? It's been awhile.)

Hmm. Fair enough. I guess I can forgive it to some extent, now. It still seems a bit weird, as though Christopher Nolan found a plot-related way to recreate an Iron Maiden cover in the middle of The Dark Knight.

I love Pink Floyd. Doesn't mean it makes any sense to recreate one of their album covers in the middle of a movie without any kind of explanation or context.

The problem I have with Children of Men
has nothing to do with the cinematography, and everything to do with the pig.

The pacing argument I can absolutely see, and it is a little jarring to be able to run as Altair and not as Desmond. I still think it's a nice touch to the game overall.

Why does everybody
shit all over the sci-fi meta-narrative? It's precisely that conceit that keeps the series from being a Thief spin-off. I thought it was interesting in the first game, and with this one they're adding more layers of complexity onto it that provide an alternate take on all of history, not just the…

The theory of evolution doesn't have shit to do with that. When one is dying, all sorts of weird chemicals get dumped into the brain, which can result in a hallucinatory/dreaming state. Since everybody in the world hears about these kind of NDEs, it's what most people subconsciously expect to have happen to them, and…

This is another problem with theology- it seems to be a pretty common occurrence for a theologian (not specifically anybody here), when called on some particular point, to back up and say, "Whoa, you seem to be defining x as [the commonly accepted use of the term] when our religion defines x to be [some…

The Lord.

Also, I can't recall any instances of Dawkins or Harris or whomever presenting themselves as experts on the topic of religion; Dawkins in particular makes the same point Steely-Eyed Realist does, throwing out his own version of the Courtier's Reply.
