They're slapping kids there, not undress their moms.

So basically Memento with a hot chick?

Well, yes, great art should have something to say, but it doesn't mean drawing from life is the only way to achieve that. A great work of art can be inspired by others, and it can be homage if done with flair and talent (I'm not saying blatant plagiarism fits in this description) and certainly can have something

It's not actually. There's one downthread. I just liked Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler.

Well, this is the Av Club. People have dark minds around here.

I'm trying not to read to much into this, but I'm failing, man. Just go join Bryan Singer in the corner of shame.

They're totally different people about the same age with some big profile roles behind them. I don't know if they've been photographed together, though.

That's Asa Butterfield, another lanky kid with huge blue eyes. He's British.

It takes a lot of nerve to replace Alan Cumming with a pouty, barely postpubescent kid too.

But he was a whiny, punchable little brat in that.

The dangerous kind of dumb, too.

The King's Speech won because it's exactly the old-fashioned, stuffy, sentimental biopic that the Academy eats up. The Social Network deserved to win if only because it did something slightly more different and daring.

I don't really agree with you that a great artist is defined by his ability to draw from life. It's a pretty limiting description, and one that implies only realism and naturalism have any value. Think of classic art. Art (and science too) developed and flourished through the centuries by people borrowing and

If anyone needs more evidence that Tilda Swinton is the most amazing human being ever, she declares Hayao Miyazaki a god in her house:

Whiplash is not only a very good movie, but actually a real crowd-pleaser too. I would hate for The Theory of Everything, The Imitation Game or American Sniper to win anything, but I'm ok with the rest of the nominees for Best Picture.

Every time I read or hear those three words that insanely annoying song starts playing in my head and I just want to tear my brain out and wash the memories of that movie out.

Justified is one of my favourite shows, but if there is a thing I can't forgive is the complete misuse of Tim. How can you have such a great character and actor and keep him around only for a shootout and a quip or two? How could you, Justified, relegate that man to the sidelines for so long?

Because you spend too much time reading comic books.
