@avclub-489acfbfa4d2424403acb81699170ac2:disqus What are your initial impressions of Suburgatory? I meant to try and watch that, but for whatever reason, Hulu never got the rights to air them, as far as I know.

I can second the love of Moonrise Kingdom. Probably the best film I've seen so far and likely to be the best film of the year for me, with maybe the possibility of The Master coming to usurp it.

Well, since coming back to NJ and being limited to a little bit of NYC, the amount of
access to films and theater goes down a little bit. Still, this was a pretty
satisfying pop culture week for me.

Care to spoil the twist? Or anyone care to make the most amusingly over-the-top twist? Because even when I have no interest in seeing a film, hearing that there's a twist ending makes me want to have it be spoiled.

When the commercial has Vanilla Ice praising how good the film is, you know how bad things are really going to be.

@avclub-1d392d6cd50709b355aa35602cb1b7cc:disqus That's a very good point, and you're right that context will make a scene even better. What I also kind of meant was that when you see something in a trailer, you then have an anticipation for seeing it in the movie and, for me at least, spend part of your brain looking…

@avclub-3b745f046957f6b3ea1b037370023dc4:disqus While you're probably right about the mini movie format in trailers being a more recent thing, I can actually think of one trailer from the 60's for a classic film that was possibly even worse than many modern day ones: The Graduate. Watched that after I saw the film and…

@avclub-a3e80e62340f85e584f072b212415d32:disqus I'm fairly certain I remember reading in one of the comment sections in the Newswire that O'Neal will be doing at least one Pop Pilgrim excursion.
