I'd agree if it wasn't for the rest of his filmography which is mediocre at best and has been absolute dregs since Gladiator. Whatever his skill is, he's only been able to repeat it once since 1982.

Hell or High Water really stood out lately because it's the kind of small film that I had to go to the arthouse to see and yet there's no reason why it shouldn't have played in multiplexes too. The whole business makes no sense.

Is that because the superhero movies are on Amazon Prime?

JK Rowling interviews Robert Galbraith.

There's absolutely nothing workmanlike about Déjà Vu; it's a total masterpiece. I can't think of a better mainstream science fiction movie made this century.

I hope that at some point soon, the careers of the Scott brothers gets re-evaluated and people start to appreciate that Tony was by far the more talented one. Ridley has got a pass on decades of mediocre-at-best filmmaking because he has the most prominent yet (pretty obviously) least important name on the Blade…

Because they think they too will one day be rich, and part of the thrill of being rich is being corrupt too. When he said he was clever for not paying taxes, I could immediately imagine a lot of people who would take that viewpoint too.

What? You don't think guys who work on submarines have an encyclopaedic knowledge of submarine movies from the 1940s?

Like I said, the UAE.

It looks like the kind of eyesore you'd find in the UAE.

They also have Death Wish 2, 3 and 4 but not 1 and 5. Is there any particular reason why they're doing this? The only series they seem to have all of are the Ip Man trilogy and the 36th Chamber movies.

I did, and then I realised I didn't have the space or money to rebuy them all on Blu-ray, and then I ended up with no devices that play physical media anyway so my options are limited.

I didn't know Neil deGrasse Tyson posted here.

He might be the first host Top Gear has had who I hope does not die in a car crash.

Ana Lily Amirpour's last film was only held together by the amount of buzzwords that could be fit in the description - don't bill your film as Iranian if it's Iranians in New York - so I'm not surprised people are already cobbling excuses together for her follow up.

Halo novels are to men what Harry Potter is to women: children's books that are actually for boring adults who can't get over letting you know how much they love to (uncritically) read.

Glanced at the title, thought it said Max Landis and thought how apt. Than I clicked and realised I didn't know who Max Brooks was until it mentioned World War Z, a shit novel adapted into a worse film, so it ended up being apt after all.

"You're not THAT Alan Grant, are you?"
"No," he sighs. "Not anymore."

Dead or an accountant, which is basically the same thing only in a suit.

My favourite thing about that Chapo episode is how it preceded Palmer Lucky being revealed as the benefactor for a pro-Trump shitposting group online and, more specifically, the circling of the wagons to defend him and his kind in light of those revelations. Nothing is quite as satisfying as tech smugness going 180.
