I don't recall seeing anyone online who was in the slightest bit excited for this, so the low expectations probably helped. I might give it a watch if I hear it's sustained its quality over a few episodes.

The totally different look from the '89 film was a bit incongruous, but it did indeed look fantastic. I get why Nolan went a different way for his films, but Burton's definitely set a benchmark for superhero production design.

I wouldn't describe the first two movies as cheesy, per se. Donner took the world of the movie seriously and cast the characters accordingly, which is why it holds up.

I too dream of a future where movies and video games are indistinguishable.

I see gf's point, though: I'd rather make the worst film of the decade than a mediocre one people roll their eyes at. Divergent is the latter, not the former.

I have to admit I'm not very sympathetic to the idea of writer's block, because no matter how talented they are no-one finds writing easy.

Her ethereal perfection was the only reason I could tolerate the second season of The Fall.

I'm always surprised at how willing so many commentators are on this site to pretend something doesn't look terrible, even when it does. I know, it's all subjective, etc, but… this doesn't look good.

It's a good 'slight' film. And it's ok to be slight as long as you're good.

Did anyone see the British movie Submarine that was out a few years ago? I thought it was a nice retort to Braff-esque movies: a protagonist that wasn't already 30 before 'coming of age' and had real but believable problems. And, more importantly, it was *charming* rather than quirky.

I'm piggybacking. Big whoop, wanna fight about it?

They have another t-shirt with "The Walking Mad" written on it.

They should mash 'drama' and 'comedy' together. They could call it "Comma".

Since you mention it, Blow really is a shite movie. I remember a bit of cult developed around it upon release. Luckily people seem to have come to their senses on that one.

Ah, Public Enemies. Mann, Depp, Bale, Cotillard… what could go wrong?

I watched it on Netflix for the first time yesterday. I don't think it warrants a 'classic' status but it definitely has an understated quality that ensures it never veers into gangster cliche. It's nice to see Pacino playing someone unsure of himself for once. Madsen's good too.

I played Skyrim in third person. If youtube is anything to go by I seemed to be the only person in the world who did, but it was mostly because I just found traversing the landscapes easier if I could see my character. Plus I had a cool costume and… liked looking at myself.

Actually I think the violence was extremely sarcastic and a direct commentary on the audience.

'Broad' is a really odd description for Dinner Party - there aren't many mainstream American sitcoms that would portray such a toxic relationship with such bite.

It's probably the bleakest episode the Amercian version ever made. For a show that increasingly relied on schmaltz it's nice to be reminded that it could go to those places without relying on the sentimentality safety blanket. There was no happy ending after all the pain - the dinner party went terribly and that was…
