No matter how they try to hide it, Old Etonian genetics emanate evil.

It isn't quite a bookshelf but the thing that immediately came to mind reading this was the suitcase full of books that Tilda Swinton packs in Only Lovers Left Alive; it lingered long enough to let you see all the spines and know what Jarmusch considers canon. The only thing I particularly remember was Infinite Jest

My favourite are the relentless hot takes about how Trump is either Hitler/Putin/Jinping/Maduro/Stalin/etc. or their own personal manchurian candidate and Trump is never actually Trump because, if he was himself, it might provoke analysis of the country and society that allowed him to flourish for the past few decades

"Barack Obama, come on down!"

Next time you wonder why people hate Lena Dunham, Hillary Clinton and their particular brand of American liberalism, remember this embarrassing as fuck video.

By the time Metropolis is getting attacked, he's been Superman for like a day and Snyder really played up how inexperienced he was fighting against Zod. It made the necksnap and the vow not to kill much more meaningful than if that was part of his personality just because it always had been in the comics.

Gal Gadot finally lands a major leading role and she still sounds like she's speaking all her lines phonetically. Should have dubbed her like Li Binging in Resident Evil: Retribution.

I haven't read Porno yet but I'm surprised she's even in it considering how small her part was in Trainspotting, the book. I even assumed that they made a big deal out of Kelly Macdonald returning for this entirely because she's famous now and from the original more so than anything to do with Diane.

Spud looks the worst because he's also had the worst career. Everyone else has a lot more money.

I think it's more likely to be an indictment of how corporate society is a soul destroying nightmare.

The protagonist only believes in self sacrifice once the film has forcibly stripped him of his suit and tie which makes his final turn more about him becoming one of the codified poor than actually doing anything to help.

It really isn't because The Wire doesn't ultimately justify the status quo.

I've never seen a film so widely available on YouTube. When I saw the trailer, most of the related videos were full versions of it.

Costner in this was the most miscast deadbeat dad I'd seen until they tried to make Kyle Chandler, the most stand up guy in TV and film, into one for The Spectacular Now.

That's a real shame. He's been in a few films this year, like Grimsby and Criminal, but I saw him in the trailer for this and he's hyped it on his Facebook page so I hoped for more; he definitely deserves it.

If you're a literate moviegoer, what are you doing watching a Marvel movie at this point anyway?

"I'm Hamilton and I'm here to say, think before you app, it's the only way."

You make snarky jokes about phone operating systems, so that's kind of obvious.

That's actually the poop emoji.

It isn't just that it's bad in porn, it's everywhere in porn. I know the margins are so slim that they have to focus on what brings in money but it's to the point where it feels like that's the only stuff getting made these days.
