I'd like to imagine that Shannon regularly gets locked in a bathroom with flippers for hands on the sets of his movies, and he makes sure to bring along that crafts services guy on every movie he makes for when this happens.

Did you know that…

Jump scares generally can go fuck themselves, but Devil's Backbone has one of the greatest, most effective and well-timed jump scares in cinematic history.

That scene with the bottle, *shudders*

Six for me (soon to be seven when I get Let the Right One In out of the way).

If a wacky slapstick farce had the Winkie's scene in it, I'd be hard-pressed to not call it a horror film, so I'd personally count it.

If Bruce Springsteen yawned as he walked outside to get the mail, Rolling Stone would give that yawn five stars.

Son of a bitch, my inability to get references to things strikes again.

As a rule, the answer to "Is Disqus fucking up for everyone right now?" is a solid yes.

I genuinely had no idea that was Darrell Hammond until I read this, and now my estimation of Darrell Hammond has sunk substantially.

*Destiny swims headfirst into a stationary boat*

The funny thing is, I read this comment and went "Yeah, that describes 'Fly' really well" before realizing you meant "Ozymandias". Dude's good. Also, Brick isn't a sci-fi film, but it is damn good.

He does a lot of script doctoring, sometimes credited, sometimes not (I know he wrote a draft of Guillermo del Toro's Mimic for which he almost got credit for).

Antz: I feel like I should really like this movie, as it's mercifully short on smirky pop-cultural references for a DreamWorks movie, it has Woody Allen playing his typical nebbish as an insect, it's pretty much a hybrid-remake of Bananas and Love and Death, and it has a surprisingly strong and direct anti-authority…

He's thus far only credited with writing the story, so Trevorrow will presumably rewrite it.

Even when I refreshed, Disqus was no help in avoiding getting jonxed. Thanks Obama!

I meant that Johnson is the peak in the middle, and Abrams and Trevorrow are the dips in quality at both ends.

Mads will be in Star Wars: Rogue One, and the first cast photo has been released.

Han Solo is just Mark Duplass in space.

At the very least, Trevorrow following Rian Johnson following J.J. Abrams means that the list of directors making Star Wars sequels now forms a neat bell curve of quality.
