At least the Chappie trailer made a bad movie look interesting. I'm more befuddled by the trailers that make good movies look terrible.

I don't think I care for this thread's tenor.

If and when I'm a crime boss, Leland will be my mentor. I loved his "People, we all know we're criminals. We're all sooooooooo impressive. Now let's get off this cold-ass building and get some sushi" kind of attitude.

Hey, figuring out your intentions is no picnic.

No, you aren't!

The A.V. Club

So, what does the hive mind think about this movie?

The only problem with ParaNorman is that I can never adequately describe my favorite scene, in which all sorts of batshit stuff is happening outside, but for a split second, we cut to that couple in a restaurant making a cutesy little smug noise at each other.

We need to find a way to shift either the election cycle or the summer Olympics cycle. I just want to enjoy synchronized diving in peace, damn it!

Hey, there's no law against graverobbing!

Glad to see Tale of Princess Kaguya get some love! I'm one of those wusses who doesn't watch gory movies, so I had to skip The Raid, and haven't decided if I can handle John Wick or not.

It's always fascinating to me to see just how much tastes align and then break apart in lists like these. Her would definitely be my #1, and I thought Beasts of the Southern Wild was a terrible mishmash of poverty porn.

That's a good point. Some big disagreements here and there, but for the most part, a very respectable list.

I was torn, too, so I just watched a Let's Play playthrough on YouTube. It worked.

It was definitely lengthy, but it didn't feel as bloated as other recent Scorsese movies to me. I'm convinced that every minute of The Aviator was nine minutes long.

I just saw it for the first time a couple of days ago, and it floored me.

Along the same lines, sure, it would we horrible if Crash won Best Picture because Scientologists bribed people to vote for it while Haggis was still a CoS member. But isn't that a more comforting thought than people actually liking it?

I'm still not really feeling this season, but Kandy Ho finally getting the axe is like loosening a kernel of popcorn that's been stuck in your teeth for six weeks.

She MUST have won the reading challenge, no? But if you're right, it's a worse atrocity than apartheid.

"Just when do I get to [bleeeep] them? What? I can't say that, either?"
