I think the horrific way he handled racial issues takes the cake.

And don't forget the hats!
That's bound to happen at some point, considering Dorian Gray's only job in the first season was to screw half the characters.
Good. Sean Harris deserves to be more well-known and get bigger roles. He's a terrific actor.
This is my favourite Wong Kar Wai movie and one of my favourite films of all time. In the Mood for Love might be considered better, but this film just sneaks up on you with such warmth, joy and passion you cannot but cherish it forever. Every time I see a can of pineapples I cannot help but think of this film and…
I was raised Orthodox Christian (a religion that is akin to Catholicism at their core, even though neither camp wants to admit it) and I'm now an atheist, but this movie really struck a chord with me. It is a polarizing film, that's for sure, and that's what makes it an essential one in my view, because it challenges…
So nobody cares what Alaska pirates then? Nothing new there, I guess.
This week a friend tricked me into watching The Amazing Spider-Man 2 with her. Jesus, it was absolutely awful. Such a fucking waste. I just want to erase it from my memory.
I am SO jealous you get to see Cillian Murphy AND Stephen Rea doing theatre! I would love to see how Murphy handles himself live.
I found this movie to be hypnotic and deliberately abstract and alien, but also emotionally investing in its simplicity. And Michael Pitt brings a rawness to his character that makes him quite a compelling presence. Paranoid Park is my favorite Gus van Sant film, but this is a very close second.
So I gather that Groot is a space version of a Treebeard and Hodor hybrid. Huh. That's even better than the raccoon with pants. Got to embrace the nuttiness, I suppose.
Everyone was amazing in Calvary, but Chris O'Dowd shows another, better side to his acting in it. He manages to be smarmy, yet likeable and also damaged, in a realistic, not melodramatic way.
This week, I watched The Double and I loved it. Very well done on a technical level, perfectly composed frames, very tight and focused direction and plotting. Jesse Eisenberg was wonderful. Gorgeous film all around.
Moone Boy is one of the most life-affirming series I've seen, so charming and bright. And it's nice that Chris O'Dowd keeps himself on the fringes and lets those two very adorable, very gifted kids to shine.
I understand your point of view, we should agree to disagree. I don't think all soldiers are sociopathic murderers, most are just people, although probably some of them are psychopaths. And anyway, I watch the show for the laughs and the bittersweet humanistic moments, not for the military setting. I see it as a…
Will you stop being such a sourpuss, odduck? The Teo Peter situation was some disgusting shit, yes, but this is a tv show! I'm not supporting the Iraq war or gloryfing the US military by watching it.
If this comes to fruition I might be even happier for it than I was for the Community pick up. Enlisted was just so fucking wonderful.
Weiss and Benioff are two sadistic fuckers. They really like to refuse viewers even a bit of catharsis. Lady Stoneheart wasn't the most inventive of storylines, but it was some sort of retribution for the Red Wedding.
I understand your point, but I think it's in character for Gracie to choose to have the abortion, because I don't see her as Christian, but as a brainwashed kid from a harmful cult from which she now escaped. Prolethians and their practices can hardly be called Christian, I was raised as an Orthodox Christian and…
I unabashedly love every movie the Wachowskis directed, flaws and all, so I'm really excited for this series. And the cast looks pretty good.
