Ozy definitely wants to do it to help people; he’s just not above making money off of his plans to help people.

I generally agree with this reading of Watchmen as a film: Great spectacle, but misses the point of the book entirely. I just read Watchmen again last week after a while, and I also think that the book depends too much on overlapping events or overlapping dialog to work on screen in any form. I forgot just how perfect…

Scott Pilgrim is an uneven movie where the comedy beats whiff way more than they land, and while I’m here, I feel that way about every Edgar Wright movie I’ve ever seen, except for Baby Driver, which I don’t like for entirely different reasons (the first being that I thought the male lead and his love interest had…

He’s done a lot of terrible stuff over the years. I do note that the incident you’re referring to is part of internally scared and scarred from childhood Mac acting out in an unhealthy way because he’s unhealthy. 

I’d prefer the Academy’s Best Picture winners to be more balanced toward rewarding sweeping epics and spectacle, as it often did up through the ‘60s, as opposed to being locked in to BP-for-prestige-films-only.

Well, that didn’t work for me at all. It was tonal whiplash of a type that didn’t connect for me, and I don’t really have a cultivated appreciation for modern dance at all.

My personal favorite British scientist is Michael Faraday, but I’d be down for Srinivasa Ramanujan or Alan Turing.

I don’t know how to quantify “better” when it comes to The Joker because all these interpretations of him are interesting in their own ways.

I gotta be honest, I really like The Incredible Hulk more than most people, so I feel like it only took them another couple of months to make another good movie. 

I think that Iron Man is the great movie and TDK “just” has a great performance in it. I felt that way in 2008, and I feel that way now.

I hate to say it, but I am not enjoying this season. The pacing has slowed considerably, which is fine, except that I don’t think that the show is capitalizing on it particularly well. The season has wasted Janet, who has been increasingly out of focus, and watching Eleanor and Tahani reconfigure old relationships was…

This episode was fine, I guess. The eighth and ninth episodes of last season criss-crossing one another was novel, but this go-round, the episodes just weren’t funny. I hate it when two whole episodes of a ten-episode season kinda suck.

Man, that was not a good episode.

No, you don’t get it, but looking at your picture, I can see that you are

It’s funnier than the actual movie!

I’ve long said that if people really want gun control, they just need to get guns into the hands of black people. California is Exhibit A of this truth. 

As someone who paid too much money to see that Fantastic Four movie in an actual theater, I will offer a tiny defense of its decision re: Galactus in that Galactus looks utterly STUPID and also, he has a dumb-looking hat. Putting that on screen in CGI circa-2007 would have been an all-time ridiculous thing to do,…

Ah, but to hear tell it from some of the commenters at AVClub, the real problem is how racist y’all folks at The Root are against white people.

Ah, yes, In-n-Out. That Western burger franchise with locations in Arizona that I drive past on my way to a Smashburger instead.
