People keep forgetting this every time they praise the decision to not do it again. Yes, it would be worse now, but it was shitty then.

With the exception of Joaquin Phoenix's hilariously overwrought performance, I think Gladiator is just terrible. Dull, incoherent, and pompous, with that awful digital wash over every shot to hide the effects.
Pitch Black is pretty good but it's best scene is the crash scene right near the beginning. Intense, harrowing sequence that the rest of the film can't quite live up to.
Will she have a Marcie sidekick?
For sure. The script is the problem with that film, something even its most ardent defenders can recognize.
Definitely the high point of the film. The realism nerds hated it which made me love it even more.
Prometheus is deeply stupid but stunningly beautiful, with probably the best use of 3D I've ever seen in a theater. Scott has been a hack for years but when he's in that world, he at least regains the skill with scale and atmosphere that made his first few movies so great.
Was this the set that had lots of transfer issues? I seem to recall complaints about a Hitchcock box set like this…
Krisha is so great and I'm really glad to hear that It Comes At Night makes for a worthy follow-up.
Weird that I learned this word from Jack White.
According to early reviews, it still stays fairly ambiguous.
…of course!
Excuse me, sir, a what?
Stop raiding my Tinder profile!
You'll get no complaints from me for quoting that scene.
Every time this movie pops up on my radar, I read the title as Buster's Mal Hand.
It's indicative of what a terrible writer Night is, because instead of feeling organic to the piece, the connection to Unbreakable instead feels like a studio imposed ending designed to create a shared universe.
Don't forget its shallow take on mental illness. I get that it's a silly, cheap horror movie but I was still offended by it on multiple levels.
But enough about Stephen King…
I'm not actually a parent, but I sympathize with those who are.
