Connery wore subs. In the books, Bond wore an explorer i (or at least if fits the description of an explorer i, which Fleming himself wore).

Mask of Zorro is a gift of the 1990's to humanity. It's awesome. I have no idea why conventional wisdom does not place it in the pantheon of the greats.

Mask of Zorro is magnificent. It was not as influential as Blade. It wasn't copied as profusesly. But it is magnificent nonetheless.

Ditto. Other than the opening number (which is great), the Lion King always felt like a step down to me from the rest of 90's Disney. Hunchback's opening, festival of fools, and hellfire scenes are all stronger than anything in Lion King other than the aforementioned opening. But we're definitely in a minority on…

If you like musicals, you're missing a lot. The Renaissance films are all, more or less, animated Broadway. If you don't, you're still missing out, only less so.

It's fun to guess which of the hundred script doctors involved wrote what. This line always sounded Sorkinish to me — like straight out of the West Wing situation room. I have no idea who actually wrote it. But you sure as hell know it wasn't **Bay's** idea to quote Oscar Wilde or Thomas Jefferson.

Correct. It's so good that the occasional Bay bad habit moments largely serve to remind you how awesome the rest of the movie is.

In N Out's reasonable prices are its trump card. Yeah Five Guys & Shake Shack are good too but they cost **at least** twice as much for a comparable meal.

That more dots meltdown is magical.

Not only do they mention it, Nichols goes on for a bit about his failures, what it's like to have one, what you learn from it, etc. etc.

Was PC Principal Jim McMahon or Brian Bosworth? Both loved their sunglasses, but I assume the Oakley reference identifies more with one than the other.

Azkaban is about as good as commercial family movies get. But O of P though — did a different person type your second sentence?

Totally agree. Just superbly well constructed, thought through, and layered, while still feeling spontaneous and funny and alive. I'm also glad your little girl enjoyed it. My only worry was that this one won't click for really young kids the way it will with 12 years and older. I want it to make a tremendous…

I'm glad others enjoy that scene but man — I'd have kept the powder dry and saved the dinosaur reveal for the T. Rex attack.

It's funny. Imagine what you expect someone would look like who spends hours upon hours of time making videos about obscure video game lore. Then imagine the exact opposite, and voila, you've got Vaati.

Such a good trailer, one of the biggest disappointments of my life* was that I didn't get to see it on the big screen and had to settle for watching it over and over on apple.com/trailers.

1 was also unapologetic car porn, featuring a lot of mostly japanese sports cars that gear heads who grew up in the 90's lusted after (e.g. Supra, RX-7, Skyline, etc.). Each subsequent movie has been less and less focused on the cars themselves. 1 thus suffers the most if the viewer is not a car nut.

Totally agree. Solaris was an order of magnitude beyond anything else on the 2600, but it arrived just in time to be upstaged by the NES.

One other plus: the cut scenes, at least in the Alliance campaign, are absolutely stunning. Usually cut scenes are dull filler. Not in WoD. They do some really nice work.

the RoJ space battle has not been topped in 30 years. Contrasting model ships and sets against each other gives a sensation of speed that CGI cannot (yet) match. I hope they try some old fashioned model footage in E7 but it's probably too expensive.
