Damn! We're in a tight spot!

Searching for meaning in the plot of a Coen Brothers movie is a fool's errand.

Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

I watched a video a few weeks ago that explains how the Coen Brothers frame dialogue scenes, and it was something very interesting that I had never considered before. I'll see if I can find it…

And the winner, for 34 years running, is MATLOCK

She is right about the over-representation of Christopher Nolan and the under-representation of romantic films.

I was wondering how "Banana" was the No. 1 movie of all time.

A VAGINA WAS HERE

Except, of course, today imdb released a list of top ranked films by women on the site… and Shawshank was No. 1

Dumbo is barely a feature length motion picture that is full of… uhm… unfortunate characters upon retrospect. Pinnocchio has all kinds of third act problems (which aren't exclusively the fault of Disney, but it hasn't stopped them before). Undoubtedly, Bambi and Fantasia were technical achievements that are unlikely…

I would have much preferred if he returned to the MCU as J. Jonah Jameson.

This show is definitely improving.

In Dallas it's felt like summer all winter this year. So that part's accurate.

I just think it's a risk sort of thing. Pixar takes risks (Brave, The Good Dinosaur, Inside Out, Wall-E). Sometimes they pay off. Sometimes they don't.

That's one way to read the performance. I read him as a master spy that was playing the situation perfectly, but was also a respectful and decent human who simply worked for the bad guy. That's why he constantly asking if it would help if he acted a different way.

Disney's not shown the ability (or the daring) to make a film like Inside Out, though. I wasn't necessarily disagreeing with you, rather simply pointing out how they are different.

He grounded the movie and made you care about the fate of a Russian spy. The film simply does not work without that character being just right.

Disney still doesn't have an Up. Or an Inside Out. Or a Wall-E. Or a Toy Story 3. Or The Incredibles. What Disney does is make very good family films. They're more consistent than Pixar, but that's only because Pixar is willing to take much greater risks than Disney as a whole

I had the same reaction at first, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized just how important he was to grounding the film in reality. It's a very Robert Duvall like performance, where he is so fully realized as a character that his work seems a lot easier than it is.

That's the end result of too many Fruitopias.
