Interesting experiment: try to watch Burton's Planet of the Apes.  I mean the whole thing from front to back.  Its actually impossible. One of the worst films I've ever seen.

I don't understand the hate Gervais gets.  Other than some petulant atheistic rants on Twitter and some misguided sentimentality on Derek, I think he's one of the best comedians out there right now.  He also just seems like a genuinely cool guy.

All that being said, I don't really blame them or resent them for it.  Frank Black has clearly grown as a musician and continues to toil in obscurity under the shadow of Surfer Rosa.  I can see the frustration in his face, especially since the Pixies best work is mostly his doing anyway.  Also, in loudquietloud he…

The Pixies have been an official "doin' it for the money" band for the last decade.

Did Apatow even have anything to do with this film?  Seems kind of stupid for the reviewer to keep mentioning his name here.

The reason most DC movies suck assdickballs is because they fail to capitalize on the mythic and godlike elements of these characters.  The narrative needs to focus on the mere mortals who observe their heroics, rather than try to humanize and protagonize the heroes themselves.

Biggest douche in entertainment right here.  And only marginally talented at that.

The only way to make a decent video game movie is to stray FAR FAR AWAY from the source material.

I always laugh and then die a little inside when a video game movie is attempted.  Most games these days are little more than interactive movies anyway, albeit with Z-grade writing and direction.  Basing a film on such a thing is just so ass backwards.

Later in the scene you can see Michael casually twisting off his cap, which makes Gob attempt to open one even funnier.

"Double Crossers" was a fine episode, and had the funniest moment of the season when Gob flung open the kitchen cabinet full of Mike's Hard Lemonade.

This looks fine and all, but what everyone is really talking about is the upcoming Christian Slater vehicle "Stranded".

Titles that begin with "The"…should not also have subtitles that begin with "The".

Iron Man 2 had a unique script with a keen sense of humor, interesting set-pieces, and a refreshing lack of CGI crapfest scenes.  It also had Mickey Rourke as a Russian and Sam Rockwell as a total sleazebag.  So even if it somehow "failed", it was still way more entertaining to me than a "successful" superhero film…

You know what's funnier than anything in Dumb and Dumber?  That scene in the first Bourne movie in which some goon assassin jumps out of the apartment window.  Something about the look on his face and the timing of the jump…I burst out laughing every fucking time.

Go ahead and accuse me of being a stodgy prick that hates fun, but these comic book movies are just so boring to me.  Its the same extraordinarily ordinary tale directed in the most commercial and uninspiring fashion over and over again.

Rented the Night of the Hunter from Netflix, despite them not having a Blu-ray available, and was surprised and disgusted to find that I had been shipped a 4:3 ratio edition DVD.  It was then I vowed never to bother with standard definition DVDs again.

I was going to post something very similar.  Thanks for doing all the work for me.

I can think of a number of quality dramatic shows that aren't soapy at all: the X Files, Breaking Bad, the Shield…ok, maybe just a few.

The only time I feel compelled to re-watch a television series is when the visual elements trump the narrative and plot machinations.  Same with film.
