Well, I hate Man of Steel because it's a humourless, po-faced mess. Amazing Spider-Man, on the other hand, is just a mess. I guess MOS Clark is more Clark than ASM Peter is Peter (he really IS an asshole in that movie), but I can't really care if they got the characters right when the script sucks balls from almost

You guys seen "Would You Rather"? It's worth it just for his performance. He's fantastic in it.

Brains also need a working circulatory system. The whole body does, in fact. As much as some fiction likes to treat zombies as sci-fi, they're really fantasy. It's a curse, not a plague.

Yeah, that's a problem. Another one: that one councilman who actually seems like an okay guy (what's his name?). The fact that he never calls the others on their bullshit makes him almost as bad as them, and I don't think that's what they're going for.

A lot of people say they hate Jamm, but isn't that the whole point? He's supposed to make you feel queasy. I guess it could be handled with a little more complexity, but I don't know. I think he has to be that cartoony, orthewise it would remind us too much of real politicians and that would just be depressing.

Not necessarily into magic and shit, but he should at least have like, a set of skills devoted to, you know, hunting witches. That guy is just an assassin. If seducing a woman and then shooting her in the face is all it takes, James Bond has the best witch hunting skills anyone could ever have.

Yeah, what happened there? Even at 15 I thought that was such nihilistic bullshit. It doesn't even have a plot, it's just a parade of ugly. "Here's our universe: Jean Grey is a prostitute, Rick Jones is an addict, Nick Fury kills himself for some reason (also, he was a cannibal and so was Captain America). In other

Still my favorite episode.

THAT MUSIC! I bet Morricone was high too.

Resurrection has a good script (way more interesting than 3), but the direction just doesn't fit the series at all and Winona is terribly miscast. Also, while the ending works on the page, it was doomed to fail on the screen. Maybe it'd work better as a novel or something.

Assault on Precint 13, bitches!

I like that series too. It's crazy that it took so long for them to finally figure out what to do with those characters.

A Million Little Fibers made me laugh a couple of times.

Oh, that one is great. In his two movies as a director, Blatty made really good use of long static shots. There's one In The Ninth Configuration that's one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Jesus, that one got an A-? That was probably the worst episode of South park ever. This one wasn't great, but had me laughing quite a bit.

"No, I'm a big book publisher who's not the least bit interested in your stoney memoirs. YOU're a towel."

I hope we don't find anything out. Backstory is not character development (hey, Sandra Bullock in Gravity) and that was a great scene precisely because it didn't get into specifics. Of course, they're going to ruin it with a lenghty monologue soon enough.

I think the biggest problem is that he's obsessed with his pet themes. All his movies are about the end of the world one way or another, and that's often too big for the story he's telling, esp. in The Box. That "why a box" speech in the end had me laughing so hard I couldn't breathe.

That angel description alone makes me want to see this more than any biblical-anything ever. How can people not like a movie that has THAT going on? Because religion, I guess. I don't like religion.
