Exact same and literally too because I had this creeping dread like this was becoming an acceptable way for intelligent people to talk. God save our souls.

This. I went to NYU film school, and while I emerged cinema studies a newly minted feminist, I don't long for the critique sessions where certain people saw every student short **exclusively** through that lens, with the unblinking certainty on intention. One comic short by a friend of mine, which had two males…

I don't disagree, but has anyone seen Superman Returns where he passively sulks for two hours watching Lois Lane live her life? It's not necessary rampant sexism, is my point. It could just be flaws in narrative - even on the female directors' part.

Yes, absolutely. In the first movie she's far more alpha in personality, and despite having his powers he's an innocent babe in the woods. It's fun and it's funny. Supe/Clark would be fine with it because he understands her intention. HE LIKES HER. These things tend to affect people's willingness to be touched. (I…

Does it even occur to you that some people, given the right vibe would find it playful and charming??? Ruling that out completely seems desperately self-involved.

Yes, you alone can determine the intentions of others behavior based on your personal biases and preferences. Even if the person doesn't object, they SHOULD. What a warm and wonderful world of no one ever touching each other with out a signed permission slip you would have us live in. Sorry for the snark, see my…

People have different comfort levels and boundaries on being touched. You're halfway acknowledging it, then doubling back repeatedly to say it would bother you. That's your preference but let's not try to train everyone to take the same offense. There is such a thing as non-verbal communication, and non-verbal…

Which is true of regular talk shows. Actually the remote edited bits have long term YouTube potential. I've watched the school photo op play date at least 8 times, IMO the most hilarious single piece of Trump comedy by anyone thus far.

At least I can be reasonably assured Graham Nash won't be pissed if he ever sees my music video parody of Carrie Anne (The Hollies) about Kellyanne Conway. Unless he's a major stickler about copywrite. https://youtu.be/YRfY8RtkJrU

(Personal plug but immenently relevant…) At least I have reason to believe Graham Nash won't be super pissed if he ever sees my music video parody of Carrie Anne (The Hollies) about Kellyanne Conway. Unless he's a major stickler about copywrite. https://youtu.be/YRfY8RtkJrU

He has said exactly that he didn't want to do a saga entry but might want to do a stand-alone.

I see your point but I love the "who talks first" gag because it undermines Kylo Ren's need to be taken seriously, so it's a real "fuck you, wannabe." And as some reviews have called out, TFA basically makes the new generation "Star Wars fans" themselves, so I see some wiggle room. And maybe it's just hard for me to…

Oh John Badham's for Saturday Night Fever is just like that, and such shallow observations; one of my favorite films so that was so disappointing. I wasn't surprised to later learn he replaced John Avildson, fresh off Rocky, just before shooting. The elements were lined up for him to put together, not exactly a…

PTA's breakdown of the final Boogie Nights scene kind of blew my mind: "So we have Mark Whalberg playing Eddie Adams playing Dirk Diggler playing Robert Deniro playing Jake Lamotta playing Marlon Brando playing Terry Malloy." Me sitting in stunned silence.

Fincher's are the best. Fight Club has so many too, Pitt & Norton, also Jim Uhls who did screenplay, with the producer who fought to get it made. Include the other extras and the hilarious fake FBI copywrite warning and fake out DVD menu for Never Been Kissed, that has to be one of the best video releases ever.

I love him trashing Armageddon. That gets my vote for worst film of all time. Literally. Ed Wood movies my ass, to make a movie that pointlessly stupid takes millions of dollars, endless numbing bombast, great stars completely wasted on a garbage screenplay riffing lazily on good movies (The Right Stuff, Dirty Dozen…

I love the in character one. When they're looking all stoned at the label party Nigel says "You see that picture there behind us? I tried to jump into it later that night."

It's great, but c'mon. That's one of the funniest movies ever.

I think Russell was SUPER stoned for the Big Trouble track. I guess some people over-laugh from booze, but he was losing his shit every 2 minutes.

Smith's contribution to the Donnie Darko track is unbearable. All the gratuitous swearing, like a ten years-old who thinks it's the greatest grown up thing thing to do in the word. "Oh fuck dude, you should have fucking Dutch angled this, that would have been fucking cool. The scene is still cool as fuck, though."…
