The Others. Now here’s a movie that I think actually works better once you know the twists and, in its own way, becomes much more intriguing on a rewatch. Still think this is the movie Nicole Kidman should have won her Oscar for. Gothic, creepy, and in the end deeply moving.

I’m with you. The reunion asks us to have tender feelings that the characters themselves do not. The movie treats Al Swearengen as the next thing to St. fucking Francis when he spends most of the running-time downing hooch and contemplating atrocities. But I must admit that his final line filled me with warmth and…

The monsters were impressive and have made me interested in seeing the original, if only to see if the human aspect is handled better. My understanding being that the King doesn’t really appear much so there is more time to deal with the human drama.

My man.

Xenogears. Upscaled graphics, maybe some more animated cut scenes, a proper Disc 2, and the ability to speed up or skip text.

Einhander: I would settle for a simple remaster rather than a ground-up remake. I can remember playing a demo disc for this game and being completely captivated with the Bladerunner decor and the strategic weapon-swapping. But the game only becomes more complicated (and unforgiving) in the next stages. This one…

I understand that The Incredibles 2 goes out of it’s way to show this sort of Objectivist elitism in a bad light, though, so that’s good (the bad guy is basically a Randian type, I’m told).

For me Toy Story 3 is the best of the bunch. That doesn’t mean there aren’t others that I also find amazing, but TS3 brought the fears, the feels, the tears, and pretty much everything else.

I am shocked to share my favorite Pixar film with Massachusetts and Vermont while my sweet New Jersey has unexpectedly chosen Brave (through whatever social media metrics count as choosing in this scenario).

“...the one thing they have in common is a feeling that some people are inherently superior to other people and nothing should be done about this.”

Back in the 90s, Vertigo may have had a lot of books with material actually suitable for mature audiences, with thoughtful narratives and characters anda solid dose of creative experimentation.

This feels like a loss even though Vertigo has been on the decline for a long time. The most recent revival felt almost like a caricature of “mature” comics compared to Vertigo at its prime.

JJ: “What do you MEAN comics have no LENS? Just...put in some of those energy dots or manga line thingies or something. And make it look like Spielberg’s comics.”

Can Sara Pichelli draw lens flare?

Does this mean that Dan Slott gets to make a revisionist Star Trek movie?

It just took a lot of wankery before you got to how more mature you are than people who like space explosion movies. That’s all.

This comics were lots of fun. And Vaughn could pull off the ending that has eluded so many shows - a little opaque in terms of lore and yet emotionally rich. I hope the show reaches screens, because the cast is promising, but it is hard to picture prestige TV nailing the tone of the series, with its rambling pace and…

Paranoid? I wrote that post while I was at Disney World, I would put nothing past them. LOL

Charles, that header image is fantastic. Do you know the name of the artist who created it?

opinion is shifting on the movie as tail-end millennials and the post-millenial kids who were little tots when the movies came out are getting older.
