I'm not a fan of the MPAA, but I also have very little patience for these situations where indie studios try to get themselves free publicity by getting into stupid fights with them. You're not allowed to have more than a couple of "fucks" in a PG-13 movie (and you're certainly not supposed to have "brief graphic…

Notice how he says "Poo Doo" in one of those lines the subtitles supposedly say is about brotherhood? "Poo Doo" means exactly what you think it means in the original line.

IMO, if its a case of the kids making noise and causing a disruption you've got a legitimate beef, otherwise it falls into the "none of your business" department.

I think it's kind of supposed to be assumed that when you call a movie "overrated" it is meant to be shorthand for "movie that I did not enjoy as much as its many fans did." To insist that people add "in my opinion" to any statement about a movie's quality would seem to serve very little purpose other than to…

I seriously think there are a lot of critics who willfully over-rate certain slightly above average popcorn movies like The Avengers, Ghost Protocol, and The Fast and the Furious just because they want to ward off the angry "you critics are snobs who don't like to have fun" hate mail they get.

I'm about the age of that person and consider myself pretty pop culture savy and I don't even know that song by name. Looked it up on youtube, it sounds vaugely familiar but I wouldn't blame someone else my age for not knowing. Wikipedia says it only peaked at #44, so maybe it's a little unfair to call it a huge hit…

You know he's vying for a job on the network that just aired "The Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber" right? I don't think he's in too much trouble.

These offended people realize that this guy is vying for a job on the network that just gave us "The Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber," right? I don't think this will derail his prospects.

Jay-Z is respected because he's essentially become Hip-Hop's Mick Jagger, and like The Rolling Stones I think he's respected more for his abilities as an entertainer than as some sort of artistic genius. That said, he certainly wants to be taken more seriously and that's why he's recently been trying to do…

So did D. C. Fontana

I get wanting more equality in Hollywood blockbusters but I feel like we're all just barking up the wrong tree with this one. Asking why there aren't more female-centered Marvel movies is kind of like asking why there aren't more male-centered Jane Austen adaptations.

I hear the "Nolan's movies are SO much darker than what came before" argument a lot, but the Burton Batman movies are a lot darker than people give them credit for. I mean, Roger Ebert's original review of Batman (1989) included this passage: "And there was something off-putting about the anger beneath the movie’s…

The Bechdel Test needs to go simply because there's nothing new to say about it. I see a nearly identical article about it nearly every week, each one saying the same thing. Frankly, I feel like the point of the Bechdel test has already been made (that women are under-represented in Hollywood) and there's pretty…

"It assumes that rape between characters doesn’t fundamentally change the rest of their story—and it assumes that the difference between consent and rape is, to use the parlance, a “blurred line.”"

Luck's ratings were actually quite horrible.  The season 1 finale drew a 0.44 rating, which is less than the average rating of a Treme episode and probably cost a lot more.  The only reason it even got a second season is because the premiere managed to draw about 1.15 and they did one of those immediate renewal things…

I don't know why they're bothering.  I'm not a fan, though I can see why others would be.  Still, the general public has made it abundantly clear that they just don't like this guy's style and I don't know how much more good money HBO is going to throw after bad.

What genre are they then?

I'll watch when Sundance channel goes HD in my area

When is NBC going to find a Salt Lake City affiliate that isn't retarded?

Sounds like someone's getting haunted by Biggie Smalls' ghost this year.
