Both men did horrifically racist impressions on the shows they hosted. Both were also incredibly sexist.

The idea of another obnoxious, burlesque Mike Myers character parading around? Agreed.

It seemed pretty horrible to me. Although that woman who would start yodeling every time she was about to hit the chorus on "Wrecking Ball" was actually genius. Of course they gonged her. Lame.

Right, because the era of "The Dating Game" wasn't quite as "dumb and bad" as now…

It's like Jan Švankmajer for kids. Cute.

Nolan is his own Dark Knight in shining armor.

Impossible. You had to cognize the thought, then verbalize it, then physically type out the sentence into the internet box. That's script enough.

Most people say he acts with his lips.

107 minutes. Wouldn't call that "quite a bit shorter".

You do realize that an Americano is, by definition, espresso and water, right?

Maybe they should rename it "Dunkirk".

I didn't care for it, until I needed a way to stay awake while writing papers in grad school.

Notice how every single person in that pic is white.

Is A.A. Dowd Ann Dowd?

Semiotics remains indispensable in media studies.

Semiotics is very important and continues to be.

First of all, it is hardly ambiguous - she is utterly exhausted, discombobulated, and ambivalent. Bigelow holds on her for such a long time we are simply unable to feel anything but her weariness (and wariness).

The only problem is, Todd Haynes is also a filmmaker of that generation with a serious background in semiotics.

Did you even see the movie or are you just regurgitating bullshit criticisms? The film is completely shorn of jingoism and ends on a long, pensive, ambivalent note where the main character - and a nation - hardly seem better off than they did before the whole operation. I don't see how the message could be any clearer.

I agree about Barry Ackroyd's nauseatingly shaky camerawork. So then why was everyone on board with "The Hurt Locker"?
