Hey man, only been commenting since 2013, haha. The great ZMF was gone even by that point. Its certainly got worse since then.

Just started the book. Excited for that! Less so for the movie.

That podcast list is pretty embarrassing and narrow minded. Alt comedy and movies. (For offbeat podcasts about genre movies, I do like Now Playing by the way.)

Got a 5 figure raise year over year.
Won my fantasy football league.
401k rising.

Aren't you still in college? Trust me, you're fine, my man.

This is the AV Club. So it depends on the uh, background of who did it.

Between what his role was and some of his dialogue ("are you here to assassinate me") and Woody Harrelson in the new Apes trailer, I think Apocalypse Now/Col. Kurtz shorthand is getting to be one modern day pop culture's more overused tropes.

I like that he got a poetic end though. His last sight seen being that of his impending doom from his own construction. More noble than just getting knocked into a pit or something

I wanted to "like" Kennic more than I did. I found the bureaucratic infighting confusing to the point where I'm going to have to wiki it. Also, I wanted to know what was the deal with his bodyguards and their (cool and unsettling) voices? Were they non-human?

I thought the same. I think there was an opportunity for a little chase set piece during the strangely short and undeveloped prison transport breakout. Could have injected a little life into the first third.

He's just not a likable presence on screen. In sharp contrast to Harrison Ford, who is notoriously prickly in real life yet, exudes so much effortless charm he's still getting dragged out to star in his franchise movies 35 after the fact.

At least with Into Darkness, I didn't find it so dull that I turned it off halfway through. Advantage: Into Darkness.

I'm a big Brolin fan too. He always gives it is all even in something like the Sin City sequel.

Green Room felt like the type of movie to be be pimped on the Slashfilm and AintitCool type movie blogs of the world. It was watchable but seemed like it would appeal most to "19 year old suburban kid getting into movies a little more seriously". Which is great for that demographic, I suppose.

I don't think it was a Great Movie, but Linklater has an uncanny ability to make the characters all feel lived in and real in less than two hours. I felt like I was living next door to those guys and was experiencing their dilemmas firsthand. It really tapped into something primal and real.

My least favorite anti-prequel argument is the one centered around "oh, who wanted to hear about trade routes and taxation?". That's some of the more interesting stuff.

Give "Predator again" a run for its money with this comment.

Good avatar/comment synergy, you handsome devil.

I saw Bogus Journey on its release with my grandma when I was proably 8. I hadn't seen Excellent Adventure at the time and was only vaguely familiar with it through Nintendo Power magazine coverage of the game. That was a trip of a movie going experience.

Sopranos Season 3. My first real introduction to prestige tv drama watching that in real time during my junior year of high school having only seen a smattering of S1+2 in the dark days before on demand and even dvd box sets really!
