But when will it come to my neighborhood, huh? I do NOT want to wait for Redbox on this one!

I'm always dissapointed Whedon veteran Alan Tudyk isn't cast in every role. The man is hilarious, and a decent dramatic actor too.

I think he needs to give up on being a surly comic book and Bourne movie also-ran and go back to being the vibrant leading character actor of movies like Hurt Locker and Kill the Messenger. And those movies totally pay for themselves!

The problem I keep running into with this show is the imbalance it has between blunt, cheesy, bad comic book dialogue and its ambitions to be some sort of prestige-y action drama. Jessica Jones made the combination work better in my opinion by bridging the gap with more compelling thematic concerns and much more…

They are doomed to watch 300 and its sequel* on an infinite loop—a fate worse than Hades.

There are parts of Hell on Wheels I like. But mostly I just find its (weirdly protracted) existence hilarious whenever I remember it.

Yeah, everything about this sounds terrible to me.

Oh gosh I hope not.

Yeah, I see that argument, especially the putting you in the character's brainwashed shoes bit. I do object to glorifying violence, though, and to the idea that I think the movie tried to float that it was (somewhat?) okay violence to revel in because it was perpetrated against one-dimensionally horrible people. That…

Quite willing to believe that. Have heard awful things about London Has Fallen.

Fair enough. In my mind the camera movements and music in that scene made it seem like they were going for a "fun/crazy" vibe, and only afterwards did they stop and point out that it was horrific.

Also: Gods of Egypt was spectacularly bad. Hit ye sweet-spot of bad movie watchability for me. Or maybe I should put it this way: it dances all over the line between bad, so bad it's good, and good in a bad way.

Whatever happened to Ashley Judd?

Agree that The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is slow as crap … But I love it so much. It's magnificent. It's ecstatic and golden.

10 Cloverfield Lane was highly entertaining, tense and well acted. The end felt a bit disconnected from what came before in tone, but fit thematically.

Halt and Catching Up:

Agreed. But I highly doubt they won't somehow bring him back.

And THAT was where the movie (briefly) lost me, with its seeming desire to have it both ways: treating the scene as both a joyful, exuberant guilty pleasure and as tragic, reprehensible act of violence.

"And the only fun actors in the first movie had their characters summarily killed" is the part that worries me. Samuel L Jackson, Sofia Boutella, and Colin Firth made that movie work.

Upvoted for use of 'Malick' as a verb.
