Both The Equaliser and Southpaw were appalling. For all the talent he gets in front of the camera, he ruins it by being behind it.

I always took him to be more like Brian De Palma, only without the irony, so all that's left is a terrible, indefensible genre movie but I can see where you're coming from.

My neighbours seem to have got into some serious trouble, which is a good thing because they're truly horrible people. However, they keep their house so messy that if you didn't know they lived there, you would assume it was derelict, meaning that the people who have angrily been trying to track them down tend to come

My favourite is when people talk about how peoples' grandfathers fought and died in World War 2 to make sure we had the right to vote, as if going to another continent and waging an apocalyptic war just so I can put a line in one box or the other every four years and have no other political engagement is a good thing.

You're either old, monied and/or a dickhead if you show any kind of respect to the flag or the monarchy.

It wasn't until I saw an American broadcast of the NFL that I noticed how much of that stuff we get edited out, not just pregame, when it all gets nixed besides for the opening day 9/11 stuff, but the ad breaks that shill for the military often get replaced by in studio analysis in the UK.

I was hoping it was a reference to the Don DeLillo book End Zone.

Unless he got somebody else to sit down for him and then claimed the glory later on, I don't think this really counts as a fundamentally American move.

I did. What an odd autocorrection.

It's a bit like biopics where all the good stuff has been taken so we're getting things about the butler to presidents and the guy who invented McDonald's. All the interesting true stories have been adapted but audiences still like the idea of them so this stuff gets made.

I enjoyed some of Savages.

I get that film is a cliquey industry anyway but the amount of children from mediocre filmmakers/actors listed in this line up is really sad.

I find it an improvement. Reacher's big deal is that he outwardly looks like a somewhat down on his luck drifter but is really the ultimate badass, and that works better with Tom Cruise, scaled on screen to looking like a guy of average stature who lifts, instead of the guy in the books who is like Brock Lesnar. I can

I upvote my own comments.

Just lying in the park, reading a book, on a hot summer's day. What could be better?

Huh, so that's what caused Kagney Linn Karter to have a mental breakdown.

It matters because it proves horror fans will watch literally anything.

Lean-in feminism is my favourite pop culture topic. Looking forward to Read this: Most drone strikes in Yemen are piloted by badass females.

You'd think his fans would learn from the previous generations and be like all those people who stopped listening to Led Zeppelin after Jimmy Page kidnapped and repeatedly raped a teenage girl.
