Marvel isn't a mega-corporation? You're an idiot.

No, no, she left *riding* a talking tiger.

How many times do you think thirty-year-old movies get dredged up in Hollywood as an example of what today's audience wants? I strongly suspect it's "when it's this one issue under discussion, and never again".

I haven't seen that one, though it does look more substantial. I was thinking of a really irritating review I read of Jupiter Ascending which said the Wachowskis were being punished for their refusal to make teen-boy-focused violent comic-booky action films. When you see something like that, you wonder if the writer…

One of the immutable rules of film discussion on the internet: every unsuccesful blockbuster is actually an art film that was just 2deep4u.

She's always got 'Where I Belong' in her credit.

And I would happily read that interview. What a weird guy he was.

I think it uses the lies about Dent as emblematic of the Dent Act's problems, maybe too much so, but there's definitely more that's wrong about it than that. Selina Kyle, who the movie sympathises with a lot, became a career criminal because the Dent Act made it impossible for her to put her early criminal record…

I did think it was definitely playing with it, not least by having them massacred while watching a film made for a Nazi audience depicting the massacre of Allied soldiers. Definitely Tarantino's most self-critical film.

It's interesting, considering how overtly political his films are, how little discussion there is of Godard's political opinions. Now, some of that's surely because some of his work is near-impenetrable in its density, but I do think there's a sense of "fuck, what if we examine Notre musique and it turns out to be…

Same thing with Bane - a lot of the things he identifies as problems with Gotham aren't a million miles away from what the movies identify as problems with Gotham.

This is one of the ones I always think of when people talk about great art you disagree with. It's a fantastic song, and so morally clear and articulate - for five minutes, you are pro-death penalty, whether you like it or not. It's only when it staggers to a halt that you realise it's the product of a terrifyingly…

The Last Temptation of Christ, To the Wonder, Ordet.

Oh, that's terribly civil of you! It's like this isn't the internet at all…

You see, I am over it - I hadn't thought about the movie since it came out, but reading this, I thought, yeah, right-wing eliminationist rhetoric, I'm not into that. It's more interesting to me how utterly petulant Vaughn fanboys get when you point out that this avowedly right-wing director's movies are a bit…

Hey, hey, Edgar Wright might not be able to come up with a devastating zinger like "Edgar Wrong", but he does his best, dammit!

So if people are disappointed in someone, it must be because they used to think they were the Messiah. I suppose that puts a positive spin on all those conversations your mother had with you.

Or they could have had a fictional president, like ninety-eight per cent of popcorn movies have. But yeah, I'm sure this instance of a Tory advisor to David Cameron directing a movie where a Democratic president gets his head blown off because he supports an environmental plan that sounds like the right-wing…

Pepperidge Farms needs testing for early-onset Alzheimers, because it was the other side of the aisle that got excited over that last one: http://www.avclub.com/artic…
