On your bingo card, how many more of those is it until he stop being president?

This isn't a game of Phoenix Wright. If you're going to get Trump on something financial, it has to be more than the balance sheet doesn't add up.

I guess this means the hunt for the fabled Donald Trump gotcha moment will go on even longer.

Which makes it even stranger to see how well everyone has aged. I can understand Renton looking as good as he does because at the end of the first film he was basically a skeleton, so he couldn't look worse, and has spent twenty years living clean in Amsterdam but everyone else looks far too good: Begbie is the only

I thought that was how it always was. Metropolis represents Manhattan and Gotham is New Jersey.

That's also the only one of his I haven't seen besides for Millions so I'll have to check it out and see what a whole Danny Boyle movie looks like.

When what mattered?

And it arrived decades later as EDM.

I doubt it. Just look at Liverpool being the set for Captain America, Sherlock Holmes, Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, Furious 6 and still no real investment in anything actually based in the city.

Every Danny Boyle film I've seen falls apart in the third act besides for Steve Jobs, and it felt like Aaron Sorkin knew Boyle always ends his films with a bad twist out of nowhere because there's no explanation at all for how Jobs went from a corporate suit to a yogi in dad jeans.

Apparently she wasn't even supposed to be in it but there was a gap in her schedule and that's all they could fit. You're still right though, especially because in the trailer it's edited to sound like she's asking Renton if he still does heroin, which is much more personal and touching than in the scene itself when

I enjoyed this when I saw it but the more I think about it, the more I think a C is right and perhaps generous. Trance is a good touchstone here because, in the first film, Boyle's direction felt like it was trying to visualise what it was like being on the skag but I could never tell if the visuals in T2

That's also how you end up with the projection onto Marvel movies and Star Wars. They always get insanely specific analysis because the audience needs convincing that, yes, those films do gangbusters, but the normies don't really appreciate what they're seeing.

Disney are the easiest dunk in the land because they're mainstream in all the ways nerds hate and the analysis is always either something about how the science is wrong or a simple, surface level application of disorders - in this case, Stockholm syndrome. Most of the time, I come away from those reviews thinking that

He has a neckbeard so it was only a matter of time.

I think it's also partly because computer animation from Pixar has totally usurped the hand drawn stuff so now, instead of being able to rerelease the classics, they now look old in the way a black-and-white movie does compared to colour, so they have to do something new with the material.

It's probably because she's a terrible actress.

I reached page 1000 in War and Peace today. I don't want it to end.

I try to keep an open mind but this is almost guaranteed to end with a dopey looking CGI Brundlefly.
