I always thought they were more A-Team.

Wouldn't a live action Talespin essentially be Magnum PI?

How perfect are his teeth, exactly? Are they like a row of military tombstones?

Well, then I guess I don't need to watch it I guess. Point gotten.

Maybe. I'll be honest, the scene where troops are ogling a picture of a grade school girl took me out of it. Even if its meant to be a joke, it's just asking a little too much to see that and then give a shit if they live or die.

I'll settle for meaningful, significant visuals, rather than ones that simply record performances and add nothing else. There needs to be some elemen of expression to the images, or elwe you just have a radio play.

I'm interested in hearing what the show is like visually. This is what has killed any interest I could possibly have in Simon's shows, especially The Wire— visually, they're fucking boring. There's really nothing to grab hold of and take interest in if you don't like showboating profanity and preachy yellow journalism.

Weird, every movie cited in this review is one I either genuinely enjoy and respect or have passionate devotion to (hello, The Phantom Menace). Except for Jupiter Ascending. I'll defend the Star Wars Prequels to the death, rally round the flag for the Matrix sequels and Speed Racer, and maybe even sign a sternly…

That's still better than they did for Peter Pan and Sound of Music.

I know, a musical theater production done with musical theater vets in the lead roles and not just stars? Who'd have thunk it!

I've never been impressed by any of Tatum's performances. He only works for me when he's playing a part as inarticulate and blank personality wise as his performances are (Side Effects, which somebody else mentioned, is a good example— the whole point of his character is that he's a complete empty corporate mannequin,…

I think Kitsch is a stronger actor. Not by much, but enough. I put them both at the low end of the inarticulate brick head spectrum — the high end being Sam Worthington and Hayden Christensen (neither perfect, but perfect for certain parts and capable of some range).

To me, he's the cinematic equivalent of lard. Inarticulate, physically imposing, featureless features. He frankly looks and sounds like a potato on steroids. He's like any number of wwe wrestlers turned actors. They can't all be the Rock.

Instead of being a terrible X=Man, how about we just all admit that he's a terrible, terrible actor?

I have in the past. I'd link to stuff I wrote before, but not while I'm texting this on a phone. Or maybe just not period, because it never ends well.

Here's hoping they have appropriate subtitles, and not just dubtitles. I opted for the Hong Kong release of the Japanese Castle in the Sky blu just to have accurate subs.

Anta baka?

Oh, there would. But if any of the OT were released in the PT era, fanboys would've mercilessly slaughtered them. Death by a thousand nitpicks.

The Phantom Menace is the best Star Wars film ever made. Suck on it.

JBD and my enduring love for Rubicon are the only things that will actually get me to watch this movie.
