People who claim that the Matrix sequels are the worst big-budget Hollywood movies ever made obviously have not seen Dreamcatcher. And are extraordinarily lucky.

It’s almost like people may have differing opinions on what movies they enjoy.

This video makes a persuasive case that the sequels have a coherent point-of-view, but it is still hard to overlook the stilted and portentous way that all those ideas are delivered. The first film contained its fair share of dorm-room philosophizing, but all the post-structuralist gab about self-mastery and corrupt…

I imagine that was also the case with Lynch, who Lucas also asked to direct RotJ. Before Elephant Man, he was just that weird dude out in L.A. who’d made Eraserhead on a shoestring budget.

Honestly it shows how badly the SW movie franchise has always been managed.

To be fair, Cronenberg doesn’t have any regrets. But, oof. That’s a rough phone call.

Is this an agree or disagree?

Sorry to see this run come to a close. Between Chip Zdarsky and Dan Slott, Spidey has been a reliable pleasure these last few years. Any word on whether this title will continue in new hands?

And maybe let him grow up with the readership and have a family, okay Marvel?

Am I alone in saying that S11 was kind of.....not so good?

Metacritic has 11 more out of 14 total reviews.

Also, I hope those assholes never invented doughnuts, either.

What does that have to do with this sequel?

The remakes of Carpenter films reveal (among other things) that his version tends to have more respect for our intelligence, less impulse to explain things that work just fine as inferences and unknowns.

It just kills me how stupidly obvious this guy is about it. He looks at the camera with a sideways “I’m being subtle” face, slides back in his chair to be more visible, turns back toward his work, then instantly, instantly does his more-conspicuous-than-nothing misdirection scratch before the main event. Oh, and let’s…

It might have been nice to have a side-mission where Spidey has to exonerate the victim of a false arrest or expose police corruption. The game would still be using bad apples to tip-toe around the question of systemic bias, but it would be a reminder of the holes in the game’s idealized version of NYC.

of course it is. It stars Olivia Munn.

Oh crap.

That film “stands out” as the worst in the series. It was such a significant departure from the previous two films and from the book it was based on. Last one I saw in theaters/paid to see.

If she wins it’ll just increase the polarization that is already the major problem with the House of Representatives, which is absolutely the last thing the government, let alone the country, needs.
