I beg to differ on there not being much comedy in Man Who Wasn't There. The comedy's drier than dry, but it's definitely there ("Did you write that piece?" "No, it was written by Ludwig van Beethoven." "…Well, it was really something").

And Ishtar is funny too (really, really funny for the first 20 minutes, too).

The Immigrant (which I maintain has the best cinematography of any film released in 2014) was shot by Darius Khondji, the DoP of Seven, Midnight in Paris, Amour, Delicatessen, Panic Room, Evita, and Alien Resurrection. I highly recommend checking out the rest of his work, which is very stylistically consistent even on…

Hail, Caesar!: It's funny, it's very funny, and it manages to make some surprisingly thoughtful points about the nature of faith, and the ways that yes, it can be done "wrong" and "right" (it contrasts a character who earnestly and seriously finds faith in lame movies with a character who knows all the talking points…

If nothing else, True Grit has by far the greatest opening shot of any of their films.

"Hawkgirl in a Coma" is my least favorite Smiths song.

"You want tact, call a tactician. You want an ass nailed, call Gus Petch."

"…Poetry recitation?"

It's not the title, so don't worry.

But Soderbergh also said to Vox that he was seriously considering directing a possible season 3 of The Knick. I can't keep up with this guy.

The Variety story was false, but Deadline came out with a story saying that what was false about the Variety story was just that Matt Damon isn't in it, Michael Shannon is, and it's not called Hillbilly Heist, but Logan Lucky.

Oh, I was alerted long before this, don't you worry.

Whit Stillman's Amazon show will make it to series

Sadly, it's all too real a possibility that she's not even given money to make movies she doesn't want to make.

The bigger crime here is that Darius Khondji (Seven, The Immigrant, Midnight in Paris, Amour, Delicatessen) was going to shoot this when Ramsay was the director, and he left with her. Depriving the world of more Khondji is tantamount to war crimes in my book.

If you're like me and getting impatient for Knight of Cups to come out, Amazon has a German Blu-Ray, which has English-language menus and no forced German subtitles.

My mistake was allowing write-in votes on the first poll, because that's how that got started as an option.
