I didn't mind the word ones too much because they said it was helping their translation algorithm or something but the ones asking you do identify a helicopter or a school building made me feel like I was programming the T-101's scanning abilities.

A friend of mine watched Before Sunrise and said it depressed him because it made him realise he was too old to fall in love.

Because he's plopping the camera down in the exact way a better filmmaker already has and claims it at his own.

OK, dad.

The only parties people on the AV Club seem to go to are ones where people sit in a circle and quote Star Wars at each other. "Huh, you don't like le epic memes of Joss Whedon? You must be fun at parties."

It's clever of Edgar Wright to have Baby be on the spectrum so his fans can relate to him.

There's also The Office which, according to Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, was given a slot on BBC2 against the will of the executives who didn't get it and then, once it became a massive hit and moved to BBC1, the same people were talking like they discovered a masterpiece themselves and had championed it from

That's to imply that The Raid wasn't already a second hand movie.

And it's swung back towards the dearly departed Tony Scott.

Rated R for being an action film starring a woman and having the temerity to not cut to the back of a stunt double's head on every single impact.

Also, the argument that it's intended to be bad because it's a satire of sequels is one of the worst pieces of criticism I've seen peddled on the internet.

The Mission Impossible is both De Palma at his copycat worst - not only does he rip off Hitchcock at every turn but the famous heist is almost exactly as it plays out in Topkapi - and Tom Cruise at his most controlled by David Miscavige, who made sure they changed it from being an ensemble piece, like the TV show, to

Is The Iceman Cometh available anywhere? All I can find online are shortened versions. Same with Sidney Lumet's TV version with Jason Robards.

I can see that, but I think the angle of the obsessive sports fan and the star player he eventually comes to despise is potent enough, especially with De Niro (at a time when he still gave a shit) and Snipes in the lead roles. There's also Scott's brilliant direction which gives it an expressionist edge; the baseball

So do I, but both Shane Black and Tony Scott intended for it to be more of a thriller and Joel Silver kept getting them to put action sequences in, so it ended up being very different to what they wanted.

It's really depressing to read about how he became a surly drunk in the mid-to-late 90s because of how many parts he either lost or was written out of.

Baseball hasn't been thrilling since you could watch it on TV.

The Rock, the one good movie Michael Bay ever gave us, because we've never seen Pain & Gain or 13 Hours. The saddest thing about this film, however, is that it was supposed to be for Tony Scott and he passed on it early in the pre-production so he could make The Fan; everyone involved in The Last Boy Scout felt

Just be glad today isn't the day without women because we wouldn't even have those 200 words.

No, that went bankrupt in 2012. Currys PC World seems to only exist by taking over other things because the official title of the shop I went to is Currys PC World Carphone Warehouse. There's actually a Maplins next to it, which I've never actually be in, but I'm sure that's going to be swallowed up next.
