@avclub-8eb12b45c6eb5b9675c0976c8ece470c:disqus Great fun? Yes. A great film or one of Lynch's major works? Definitely not.

I have so many mixed feelings about this movie. I gave it an A- because I was captivated throughout, and very moved by that final scene. But this movie does have a lot of issues… the foremost being that it seems to be going in a very interesting direction in the first third, but then as you say, basically ditches that…

Did you seriously refer to 300 as a "medieval" film?

Have you seen Stories We Tell Narrator? I'll be very, very shocked if I see anything better than that movie this year.

Eh, Mad Men does sometimes foreshadow major events. Lane's death for instance, was hinted at throughout season five and I seem to remember several commenters predicting a death 1 or 2 episodes into the season, and who it would be about halfway through.

The only possible use I can think of for this is when you have like, 99 likes on a comment so you can just sneak on an extra one to get to 100 and hope no one notices.

Apparently all the writers here inexplicably hate Daria judging from that TV Roundtable where they covered an episode, so I wouldn't hold my breath….

I just kind of wish it had been done a different way if they couldn't afford to make it look better than that…. it kind of takes me out of the episode each time the CGI muses pop up. The fact that the CGI creations look nothing like the original objects is particularly jarring. I'd honestly prefer that the voices just…

I wasn't quite sure about this show before… I thought the direction was a bit wonky and too Malcolm in the Middle-y for Fuller, and all the terrible CGI was cramping the visual style a bit for me. Plus the ensemble hadn't quite gelled in the first two episodes, as a lot of the characters felt a bit too broad and wacky…

I meant four more seasons (a total of seven), which the creators made it sound like they were aiming for in a speech they made at the BAFTA awards: http://www.avclub.com/artic…

The problem with that is, what room is big enough to allow people the distance to see something like that properly? Even these big 70 plus inch tv's are really too big to see properly, in my opinion… it looks kind of like when you sit too close to the screen in a theater. I really can't picture many people having a…

Murphy was a lot more involved with season 2 than that, he and Falchuk wrote a couple episodes each. It does sound like they more or less provided the ideas while Minear more or less functioned as the central showrunner since Murphy was so divided between his three shows.

Maybe Wild at Heart (if sardonically sickly sweet happy endings count)? I'll be interested in that write up by the way… even I'll admit it was a kind of odd choice and I'm a huge Lynch fan.

Seriously, what was with the ending of Into Darkness being exactly the same as the end of the first movie? Something screwy was going on with that script…

There's no way it'll get better than a B, but that movie does seem like it could be the right kind of crazy. Verbinski seems to have just gone insane after the the first Pirates movie, which has resulted in both great (Rango) and terrible things (the Pirates sequels).

I'd definitely agree with this, it had some bad moments (e.g. zombie baby birth scene) but overall was a pretty excellent remake and is a lot more immediate and accessible than it's predecessor, which was more a slapstick comedy than a scary horror movie. I'll never understand people who champion that one over Night…

Apparently he wrote it, I guess he just felt like passing the torch. No director seems to really want to stick with a horror series for more than two installments.

What about that chick that played Veronica's teacher and was supposed to be a series regular, but ended up being in like two episodes? Is she going to be in this movie?

I've been weirdly excited for this one since the trailers, even though I had little love for Sofia Coppola's last two movies (I flat out hated Somewhere), the story isn't really that interesting to me, and the reviews have been very mixed. Still I can't wait for it, largely due to that great trailer, which made this…

The worst thing is these people haven't even seen the movie yet, so they don't even have opinions aside from buying into the hype. Half of them will probably be casually tossing off comments about how Man of Steel sucked in two weeks.
