Yeah, I agree with that. He tried, but failed completely.

I'm not saying they are beyond reproach regarding politics, they have some questionable points, but it's just that I don't think they're blatant propaganda films, like this one. At least they're more comfortable in acknowledging their morally problematic characters and their actions than American Sniper. They're not…

Both The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty are far more competently made and more politically responsible movies than this, but they are swept under the rug and so maligned nowadays, but this American Sniper garbage is so loved and made so much money it's kind of scary in a way. Why go for a measured way of looking at…

Not all people that criticize this movie are against it because it presents a sanitized view of Chris Kyle, because it has huge box-office success or because they hate the target audience. I don't care at all about that. I dislike it because it is a bad piece of cinema. Some people should remove the Clint Eastwood…

It's propaganda because it only presents the war from the American point of view, how it affects Americans with complete disregard of the bigger picture. We're treated with the classic propaganda stuff like ''You're dad's a hero'' scene and the honor burials (I should mention I don't have anything against soldiers,…

A great soufflé. That's the most delicious description.

Oh, no, I'm not implying that Interstellar should've been only a straight sci-fi actioner. I'm saying that it might've been a great film if it actually succeded to convey those ideas in a more subtle, elegant, intelligent and disciplined way.

I think they will. Fincher proved with The girl with the Dragon Tattoo he can make an adaptation/remake all his own, and the original has this utter Britishness about it that cannot be replicated.

That video is 30 seconds of pure cuteness. And you're right, the diversity is refreshing.

Banana has the most wonderful youthful energy to it and perfectly mixes lightness and melancholy. I haven't been so enamoured with a show about young people in a while (since Misfits I think). This show so far is so atuned to what youth is all about and I love that sensitivity.

Congrats! I became an aunt this past year and it's just the best thing.

Interstellar I can't say I did not like it, it looked too beautiful not to. But the dialogue was uber-saturated with cheese, the plot was all over the place and unstructured, and there was too much melodrama for my taste. It pretends to be a philosophical analysis about human nature and sci-fi actioner and…

Banana is clearly the better show of the two so far, but I think in this episode they tried too hard to make Scotty likable, an angel nearly (the taking care of the mother, the four jobs, the everybody loves her stuff) to soften the other parts, instead of just trusting the actress to do her job (and she was up to it)…

I'll let you in a little secret: feminine, regular women fart and belch like the rest of mankind.

I'm sorry to disappoint you but you're not a nerd for being a Harry Potter fan. Just about everybody under 30 is a Potterhead, growing up with it (me included) and millions of other people, from soccer moms to white-haired grandpas.

I would love a Totoro! So fluffy and magical.

Maybe it's just me, but I think Elizabeth is a terrible mother. She's always so emotionally cold and calculating in regard to her daughter and their relationship. I don't know what bonding people see, I just see how manipulative and impacient she is. Yes, Paige is not the brightest bulb, she's a teenager, she's…

I think they would shout something more along these lines ''Tits and muff! Tits and muff!''

I haven't even smoked an entire cigarette in my life (my avatar is misleading) and I find it so maddening when people react to others smoking like it's the end of the fucking world. It's very bad for your health, yes, but the extent to which it is demonized and forbidden rubs me the wrong way. It has got to the point…

So Bill Cosby is the Jimmy Savile of America. At least his monstrosity came out before he died, that Savile bastard died at peace thinking he'll be cherished forever. This world can be such a shitty place.
