I can very easily understand the White House’s disgust with those gaming clips.

Remember these tariffs are not negotiated individually, there would be something like- okay we agree to that 25% on cars if we get 4% on inflatable companion dolls- when market situations change it is time to re-examine the percentages, the big issue is the unilateral application

And similarly, just because something is character development doesn’t mean that it doesn’t play phony and contrived in a movie!

While this book should be read, one should not need to have read a book to understand its movie.

This might be surprising but as a movie-watcher sometimes I need more than “because the book was that way.” (Though I hope everyone saying that offers similarly valiant defenses of, say, the ending to Spielberg’s War of the Worlds!)

If you watch the segment, he makes fun of the content before concluding that it’s likely no one really watches it, and it’s ultimately a distraction from what should really concern us about the NRA. It’s not an outsized reaction, it’s “let’s have some topical fun here and then just move on from this irrelevant garbage”

I think the point may have been an allusion to the old adage about the number of assholes you meet a day.

Curious, I decided to check your comment history.

The Maveth Monolith was destroyed by Daisy. It turned into rubble when they rescued Jemma. That’s why they used cut out pieces HYDRA next time. And those are gone too. Also this black stone has different shape and no holes. But it might be another space one - just going out to somewhere else than Maveth.

Color. Color is why it shouldn’t be considered for cinematography. Cinematography consists of lens choice, framing, camera movement and angles, film stock/video quality choice, etc. But because you don’t like the color pallet the rest of what it does in terms of telling a story visually needs to be disregarded?…

Blade Runner 2049 should win everything.

I totally get the desire to have a more simple device, and it’s absolutely legit. But I DO think it’s completely fair to snark on people spending $400 for the privilege of having a non-smart phone that looks all fancy and new and cool when they could just go to Walmart or Costco or Total Wireless or whatever and pick…

There’s a good Dara O’Briain routine along these lines when he talks about how people always complain about how whenever he makes religious jokes he picks on Christians instead of Muslims, to which his response is essentially:

You seem so badass dude.  Tell me more about your how scared you are that you need to own a bunch of guns.

She certainly affects me less than a relentless AVClub troll who turns every fucking comment thread into a shitshow with his performative wokeness.

What if we were able to implant the idea that he COULD carry a movie right in the very core of your subconscious?

He’s a cop, on duty.  Which means he should be held to a HIGHER standard than the general population, because of the power we’ve given him and he’s accepted.  

Well... no.

Like...you guys do understand that other studios are withholding their back catalog deliberately from Netflix, either because other streaming services are paying more for exclusive rights or because they have plans to cut out the middleman and start their own streaming services, right? I mean, you keep using the words…

Stop continuing the rumor mill by writing paragraphs on who's gay or not and who is outed or in the closet or whatever. It's none of our fucking business. Seriously.
