Isn't it technically only possible to have one? After you've completed your masterpiece, you are thenceforth considered a master.

That "DiCaprio/Hill" should one day be as inextricably linked as "Martin/Lewis" and "Hope/Crosby" is a consummation devoutly to be wished.
I noticed that too, especially in the scenes with April and Donna. The colors looked very over-saturated and purple. I wouldn't be surprised if it they're responding to network notes that the show was too drab looking or something.
I've always vastly preferred these over the Bond films. The line "Stealth is privileged over confrontation—a trend that would blessedly continue throughout most of the series" really hits the nail on the head. The Bond movies always seem to devolve into a series of gun fights. The interesting parts are the gadgets and…
That's true. Anything more than a series of uncredited photos with a half-sentence caption is totally overwhelming to the Buzzfeed audience.
Fight Club and Zodiac are both excellent, but everything else Fincher is definitely not on the level of those two. Se7en has it's supporters, but personally that one is kind of just misery-porn.
I thought The Social Network was interesting and well made and well acted and all, but it was definitely one of those movies where you're like "Well, I'm never going to watch that ever again" as soon as the credits roll.
I actually like You've Got Mail a lot better, since it doesn't hinge on the precocious charms of a kid who mostly comes off as irritating. Just watched it on Valentine's Day and, while it's not exactly a titanic achievement of cinema, it definitely holds up as one of the most well-made, funniest straight up Rom-Coms…
You realize they've been doing Inventories since well before Buzzfeed existed, right? There's even a book of them.
Well that's the thing: it's basically tautology at that point. Imagine if there weren't any problems. Then there wouldn't be any problems!
Nope! I'm an agnostic at best. But I'm not so naive as to think that religion is the only thing humans are capable of fighting about.
I think it's another case where the culture surrounding it has actively made the song worse. Imagine is basically just a bunch of dorm-room philosophizing with a pretty melody, and it's not bad if you take it like that.
Disagree. The animation and art direction is really ugly, the story is really lazy and rote, and as you said it's full of reference-as-joke "humor," along with a bunch of dumb winking sex jokes, and an overstuffed pop-song soundtrack to pad out the running time.
Yeah, I think that's my main problem with the song: it's been used out of context so many times that it now basically has the opposite of Cohen's original meaning, simply because it contains the word "hallelujah" and biblical references. I couldn't tell you exactly what the song means, but it ain't a straight-up…
I agree, I'm saying that "best friends" are often depicted that way in pop culture, but non-sexual relationships on that level are not a common occurrence after high school.
Yeah, I mean, I have friends, and I have a friend who I would call my best friend, but we haven't had an all-night conversation about life, man since we were like 20.
It's small ball in the sense that you bet just enough to win the game, rather than trying to win a huge amount in a single game.
The way Enid tentatively says her poster is "more of a… found-art object" always reminds me of the great Calvin and Hobbes strip where Calvin says "The trouble with being avant-garde is knowing who's putting on who."
It's basically small-ball. You want you're team to win, but nobody other than the home fans wants to watch a game of nothing but bloop singles and walks.
I get what you mean, I think it's pretty rare that people have in real life the kind of thing that Anne of Green Gables would call a "bosom friend." What most people call their "best friend" is really just the friend they talk to the most frequently.
