Now that's how you reboot Gulliver's Travels!

You only win cinematography Oscars by shooting vistas.

That last one reminds me of The Opening of Misty Beethoven, which reminds me that we never got an obit here for the great Radley Metzger (unless I missed it).

The comments are suspiciously mature, which I'll attribute to the fact that his work with Scorsese is pretty well known by people here.

Perhaps, though the Fiennes clan includes a talented sister.

Correct. A genuinely unliveable place.

Are you unfamiliar with Florida? It has problems with everything…because its Florida.

No. The appearance by an alligator in any situation demands said alligator be defeated.

Your decision to live close to alligators is a poor one.

Every time I see Ralph Fiennes in something, I'm reminded that he's one of our greatest actors and his work in GBH might be his absolute best.

I've never liked him in anything, and the talent gulf between him and his brother is genuinely astounding.

I'm of two minds because:

I saw the opening of the tour last night and as a huge fan of both NP and Waxahatchee, they did not disappoint. For what it's worth, the latter played some new songs that are more in line with the Cerulean Salt stuff than Ivy Tripp.

Why would you not see them? Pretty much everyone on here is a notable director if you care about movies. At the very least, anything new by Haneke, Haynes, Ramsay, Lanthimos, and Bong Joon-Ho are automatic must-sees.

Adding to the praise for House of Mirth. What a phenomenal movie.

The descriptions I've read of that proposed happy ending are laughably awful.

God I love those sketches. They would never air anything that transgressive these days.

I adore the Spyro games, especially the second one. All that tree-jumping ramp madness was unlike anything in other platformers.

His movie obsession book was really underwhelming though - he basically talked about going to the New Beverly a lot for two chapters, then the rest was about stand-up.

I think Baldwin's work on 30 Rock is still somehow underrated. His sense of timing, and ability to deliver a line in a way that elevated it way above the writing, never ceased to amaze me.
