They weren't unkind because of that. They were unkind because he is black.

"yesterday"

So, is this setting up a McAvoy vs. Willis movie down the road or is it simply establishing it as part of the same universe?

His mother is a democrat and his father is a republican, so he gets his class and intelligence from a factory in China.

I'd always heard Trump was 6'3" and never believed it but I guess this confirms he's a big guy, for you, the people.

How many more people could have have deported? How much longer could he have kept Guantanamo open? How many more of Bush's PATRIOT act policies could he have kept intact?

It's all about going high when they go low.

If Obama was even vaguely effective on any of those things, the republicans lies wouldn't have worked so well.

I only he would kowtow to the House of Saud instead.

This is exactly why the Democrats lost. It was more important for Obama to appear classy and intelligent than actually do anything. If they could just convince Trump to go "folks… I've set a red line… and told them to cut it out" when he's dropping bombs from drones and letting bankers off the hook, the next fours

I don't know if mentioning it here will trigger some hall monitor to go and flag it but there's a YouTube account with a bunch of early Fritz Lang movies on it in HD. This morning I watched You and Me, a hilarious screwball comedy which shows off Lang's under appreciated sense of humour, and I'm looking forward to

That's true but it's an increasingly rare example. Someone with singular auteur clout can get away with it but others can't. Just look at how often the new Star Wars and Marvel movies go out of their way to undermine themselves, lest anybody start to pick holes in what they're doing. One of the best movies I saw

Unfortunately, you can only make a movie constantly winks at the audience to let you know that this couldn't happen in real life or is filmed in a total sterile way like Chris Nolan's Batman. It's impossible to make an earnest action movie that doesn't get laughed at in 2017.

It wasn't until I saw the Patriots at Wembley that I realised just how depressing being a kicker is. From where I was sitting, I could see the entire sideline and depending on what was happening, the whole offence or defence was sitting there, chatting to each other, talking to coaches, getting massages from

Trying to intellectualise references that way makes it seem like you don't even know what a joke is.

This reminds me of Iron Man Three in that Hugh Jackman's commitment to the character and the studios need for him to be the character have combined, allowing him to get his way and be in something that puts being a good movie before being part of a franchise.

Jesus wept.

As fun as it is to see Bernie dunk on Betsy Biv DeVos, this is incredibly tangential to the concept of a pop culture website.

It looks like it's been on the shelf since 2003, only the actors have aged along with it.
