Hudson Hawke is so good it's good. It's just a really fun movie that doesn't take itself seriously in the slightest.
But I do think it's easier to actively hate something that everyone is telling you is amazing. Godzilla, you just say to yourself, man, that's a shitty movie, everyone agrees and you get on with your…

a) Face/Off and Gremlins 2 did not make the list of best films of the 90s. One person thought that each of them should.
b) "Pretentiousness" is up there with cries of hipsterism as far as hollow criticisms go.
c) You can ascribe motivations as much as you want, but the world tends to have far fewer conspiracies than…

No, the Cola Wars started Michael Jackson on fire. Common mistake.

Same here. I saw it for the first time a few weeks back at an outdoor screening, and I was pretty amazed. Bartel really deserves to be better known — I've been a big DR2000 fan for a long while without realizing he had more movies worth looking into.

Killing a kid in the past has the potential to dramatically alter the timeline in ways you could never predict. Sending his adult self back's less complicated on that front. There's logic/paradox issues in the movie, but that one's pretty straightforward.

So did they build The Fall before or after the apocalypse? Because if it's before, it seems pretty convenient that those would be the only two countries left. And if it's after, that's… pretty much the largest engineering project ever attempted, which seems pretty tough to pull off after an apocalypse.

He won't necessarily become Robin. It'd make total sense in that world for him to actually be Batman.

But the ambiguity already would've been undercut by them explaining that the autopilot was fixed. You'd have to cut out both those bits, or you pretty much have to assume he survived.
