This is really well timed. I watched the whole trilogy last week after I found out about the third one, which was both out of print in the UK and not titled A Better Tomorrow III when I saw them originally about a decade ago, and it felt to me like they were more like a Michael Mann movie, in that they're crime dramas

Reading the comments, it seems like there's a real separation between how to watch a horror movie and watch an action movie. When Alien goes from being a really good character drama about space truckers into being a slasher, a lot of people see stuff like the robot trying to kill Ripley by shoving a magazine in her

Am I wrong in thinking there was a period of time when Disney didn't license anything? Up until they bought Marvel, it felt like you could only get their stuff at The Disney Shop and at their resorts and now there's Disney stuff everywhere.

My self worth is also valued by if I have to wear a tie or not. It's really healthy.

I've never got the hype around David Fincher but Gone Girl in particular stands out as people bending the facts to fit the narrative. Nothing about the book made me think it was some kind of satire or critique of modern attitudes towards women; it was just the kind of page turner, clearly written on a scene-by-scene

'98 to '01 was the only time wrestling was popular in my school so a lot of the bad stuff was only known to us who liked wrestling, but when DX came back, everyone tuned in again and so there was no escape from people talking about it.

You say no introduction is necessary but I only know of Elvira through gifs posted by Bailey Jay on Twitter and wasn't expecting most of what was mentioned here at all.

The line about a citizen of the world being a citizen of nowhere is legitimately one of the most terrifying things I've heard said by a politician in my lifetime. At least Trump is rambling and incoherent, that was said intentionally and with a very clear purpose.

The place I work is being sold at the end of the year.

Took me about twenty pages to crack it, but when I did, Trainspotting became hilarious and makes me wish I'd read it years ago.

They were making films about World War 2 while World War 2 was still going. Stuff like this isn't even a blip.

United 93 was so bad that it put people off doing terrorism from 2006 up until this trailer was released.

That's the one time I can think of where I've been actively embarrassed to be a wrestling fan.

I've only seen clips of the Hype Bros backstage/out of the ring stuff on YouTube but really comes across like they've saddled Zack with the most obnoxious person on Earth in an attempt to crush him to the point of leaving.

I posted a few weeks ago about how I thought my grandma was dying. She died last week and the funeral was on Friday. I still can't believe it's real: I have a message on my phone from August 30th, saying she'd come back from the doctor's, was fine and that I should pass it on to my auntie who was the on holiday, and

In Orlando, the women of my family were always ma'am and I was always buddy.

BioShock. The plane crash and the introduction to Rapture are incredible.

I remember the big speculation being that the portal gun was going to be on the Borealis and they made Portal as a test run for the physics but couldn't figure out how to get it to work in Half-Life gameplay without breaking everything.

It's the final scene that ruins it for me. The rest is great but they tacked that on to make a sequel and then afterwards nobody knew how to do it so it never happened.

His pop culture stuff doesn't drag it down because he cut most of it out and got to the core of what Tarantino is about. I find it very telling that in this film, there's no slow motion shots to Little Green Bag and all the monologues are done by cowards trying to be menacing or people on the verge of death looking
