I've seriously considered writing letters to Netflix suggesting that they incorporate half-stars, because I feel bad giving a movie three stars when I really think it should be three and a half.

Yeah, I hate to sound like a killjoy, but my enjoyment of the Max storyline is somewhat hampered by the fact that I don't have a problem with the decision to take away the vending machine. Blah blah nanny state blah blah, but if kids want to eat junk, they can bring it from home (basically, what Adam and Kristina…

It Happened One Night? Cinematic trash?

It's weird how many people didn't seem to get that whole scene. I really didn't think it was that challenging of a joke.

Yeah, what's with the total crash-and-burn for Hawaii Five-0? Did the guy from the vampire show issue a press release saying that he's not going to take his shirt off anymore or something?

They also gave me free Starz (which I don't care about one way…

I've often wondered how directors would react to hearing people say, "Your movie let me turn off my brain, and I didn't have to think about it at all!"
