Probably lots of people noticed the absurd jabs at Backdraft, which seems to be a major motivation for savaging Backdraft 2, which doesn’t seem offensive enough to merit much attention at all. What the problem with Backdraft is unclear, especially since it has one of the few wholly composed Hans Zimmer scores that…

This. I loved ‘Get Out’, but this was a mess of a script, flipping between jump scares and humor. The underground act stretched far too long and was profoundly unsatisfying. The ‘twist’ seemed shoehorned. Overall the movie lands close to ‘Mother!’ territory, beginning like a cracker of a story, gradually easing into…

I left the movie assuming that the premise of an oppressed people below living in the literal shadow of those above was meant to illustrate class struggle, and thought the film didn’t bear that out in its actual storytelling. When Peele made it clear that wasn’t even the point, the entire thing fell apart at the…

While this is an excellent two-liner, does the movie actually earn it? I may not have caught the reason the real Adelaide couldn’t leave once she was free from her chain, but your response doesn’t really clarify that. The thing that worries me about most analysis of this movie is that it’s often reduced to snappy but…

It becomes fairly clear when you read what Jordan Peele has to say about the film that it’s mostly a pile of horseshit wrapped with a pretty bow.

When you really think about it, New York City itself was kinda the villain.

“Maybe the monster is you”

It reminds me a little if how Shymalan was priclaimed as ‘The New Spielberg’ and how that level of hype ultimately sank him (for a while at least).

Except with more S symbols branded in women’s pubic regions. It means “hope”.

Please, please feel free to add some commentary on Kaiser to my post about their stewardship of Jeep (specifically about trucks in preparation for the Gladiator unveiling last month). I love finding people who know more than I do (admittedly, in this case it’s a relatively low bar: still much to learn about Jeep…

Kaiser-Frazer was the last newly established American automaker to reach mass production, until Tesla. They were incorporated during the war, and took over a surplus wartime aircraft plant in Michigan and came out with the first all-new postwar car designs when the Big Three had to reintroduce their warmed-over 1942…

My wife described the tone as Black Mirror meets Wes Anderson.

Jar Jar Leto.

Tom Cruise: The Outsider

Is he Tom Cruise now? Playing roles and having titles that doesn’t involve them at all and they just make movies like this?

No.

I’ve never laughed at anything Chelsea Handler said. Never. I watched her youtube clip of going to a wedding in India... just more proof that she’s a racist, wilfully ignorant ass.

In fairness, I did say that poorly. Weinstein’s not the damn buster he’s the filth that spilled out. It’s the women who came forward who deserve the credit.

No, thank you to his victims who came forward.
