It reads as too snarky and dismissive, which is a shame since the idea is clearly to criticize how this film and others like it fail to properly represent anorexia. It's a good point to make, but a hard one to do in a pithy headline without seeming insensitive to the issue as a whole.

This getting an A here has me even more excited for it. Heard some of the new songs live, stripped down to a two-piece, and they were fantastic so can't wait to hear full band versions.

Yes to this. As someone who lived there nearly 20 years, it has lost almost all of its appeal to me at this point. Manhattan is sort of the Detroit of Robocop now - the middle class is gone, so it's just rich kids/old people and the homeless. It was disturbing to watch that gradual shift happen over the years, slowly

Yes, I liked that a lot, but didn't love just how big a part it played in the overall narrative.

Reminds me of this I saw earlier today, which is not something I expected to see about this particular actor:

That's the double-edged sword of the movie - the Marvel approach to the character is what made it fun, but the need to tie in so closely to Avengers is what tempered that fun for me. I like the movie but less talk about that stuff, and less of both RDJ and Favreau, would have made me like it a lot more.

Hancock is great for drunk flying alone. I'd always wanted to see that in a superhero movie, because I am unwell.

I thought he was his father's brother's guy…

Hey this reminds me: it was so hot yesterday that I went into a grocery store just to get some strong air conditioning, and then briefly contemplated taking a bottle of dressing off the refrigerated aisle and pouring it down my pants.

Is there a superhero movie with a good script? I feel like the best ones just overcome their script deficiencies, since they all have that issue to one degree or another.

However many upvotes this eventually receives, it will not be enough.

Yep, I don't like either of those two in anything else really. But they work great in those roles.

Hand in unlovable hand indeed.

I guess Natural Born Killers is a rom-com to certain, deeply disturbed, people out there.

The only good romance in an Allen film is Annie Hall, because they don't end up together.

Everything about that movie sounds like something I would normally hate…and yet, I find it absurdly charming.

They are insufferable but I think the show doesn't find them nearly as insufferable as I do. We are shown that they behave horribly to each other, and other people too, so it might count.

I don't remember anything about it except that Tom Waits was in it, so…sure.

Eh, they have issues but I don't think we are supposed to think they are horrible people.

Ah yes, good call. Any movies though?
