I have to agree with you.  I also watched it for the first time a few weeks ago and thought it had some absolutely brilliant parts, but overall I didn't really get the attraction.  Then I read the article and it told me that the point of liking it is liking the parts that work. 
I really just replied because I wanted…

My startup used to be:
"Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins"
"Homer Simpson, Smiling Politely"
When I logged in to the internet, it said:
"Has anybody seen my arm?  You can't miss it, it's green!"

Obviously, you never overheard an (80's era) adult tell a racial joke with "supplies" as a punchline.  Pre-1989 FTW!

I read your link and I agree that it's entertaining.  However, as an American, I also find it confusing.  Could you please explain who the faces are on the bitch-o-meter graphic and if necessary provide some context?  Inquiring minds… well, you know…

Wow.  That first movie clip felt about twice as long as it's 2.5 minute running time.  I couldn't force myself to sit through the whole of any of the others.  I've never agreed more completely with Nathan's assessment of anything!  Could they have made it more boring on purpose, do you think?

I agree.  I don't know how the writers would pick just one character or work of art.  Having said all that, my favorite example of this is Vera Farmiga's therapist in The Departed.  She just really sucks and if someone like that slept with a patient, even if he did look just like Leonardo DiCaprio, well, she would (at…

I saw it recently…
A witch turned a young girl into an old woman, who had to leave her home because no one knew who she was and she got picked up by Howl's moving castle, made friends with the fire-spirit, fell in love with Howl and eventually got changed back to a young girl.  There was a lot of confusion about a war…

I can't claim to have seen a lot of Miyazaki films, but Howl's Moving Castle was seriously awesome.  I can believe others are better, but what makes this one the worst?

So jealous…

I'll let you know in about 5 years when Grave arrives from Netflix…

IIRC, they recommended starting with Lupin III
Few anime-experienced AVC readers could get on board with that suggestion.

This is the article I didn't know I was dying to read.  Thanks for this and thank you to everyone discussing above me as well.  Y'all have given me quite a lot to listen to!!!

I just finished reading Crash.  I just have to say that now I understand why Tasha ignores my begging to do it for Book vs. Film.  The movie made me do it!
