"going with one of those hip young British designers"

You haven't truly lived until you've seen a bad CGI imitation of Ciarán Hinds without skin.

Correct.

I should've known Valerian was dubious when my hardcore psychedelics enthusiast roommates were freakishly excited about it.

My guest of honor was clutching me through the whole movie. She was not my girlfriend.

Weird, most people consider the second Tomb Raider to be less bad than the first. Certainly it's less…spare…but it's also the first movie I ever saw in a theater and immediately recognized that I hated.

I've been to Mount Zion and it is literally right next to Gehenna, where there is much wailing and gnashing of teeth and also the main movie theater in town.

B12 shots for everyone!

John Adams' approach to historical accuracy is effective but erratic.

Anyone who has ever been in any kind of court dreams of the day they can do some Hollywood shit.

It's worth remembering that there was no west coast or US state of Texas at this time, so Far West was a much more accurate name.

You can thank the Talmud for those. Since the Bible doesn't specify what could have made God so disappointed in the world, the rabbis rationalized that humans must have cross-bred with angels to create a race of rock monsters.

Bad Taste (1987): Well, I didn't know what I was expecting. That was certainly Peter Jackson's first movie.

When Vince Vaughn is the only character who seems like a real person, you gotta problem.

It's no Braveheart. Every sequence has a wildly different tone, the characterization is so extraneous that it confuses the point, and the gore is cartoonish. How it got a Best Picture nom, and how Garfield got a nom for it and not Silence, is baffling.

I think you mean Dieppe.

And it's not like it was hiding the brutality from us, and it worked nonetheless.

What was the violation of the oath?

Saw it yesterday. Midday, weekday screening, almost full theater (with around a thousand seats), very diverse crowd. Seeing myself in the movie was just extra special; the movie is fucking terrific, and the audience was so into it that you could just hear people reacting voicelessly. So happy it's doing well right…

I liked it. To just play it straight, it would be like one story that bunches up with two others at the end.
