Christ, no. James Cameron has more talent as a director in his little pinky than Joss Whedon does in his entire body. It's a laughably huge gap. Compare The Avengers, which looks like a mediocre network TV show, to anything Cameron has ever shot. And even the worst of Cameron's writing (Avatar) is less groan-worthy…

The 3.5 hour Titanic was great. But Joss Whedon is no James Cameron.

Yes, what we really need from an "overstuffed" film with "a surfeit of characters, plot, action sequences, callbacks, and setups" is an extra 1-1.5 hours of material. Yeesh.

It'd be nice if we went a whole day without hearing about some boring opinion this boring writer has on a boring issue.

This was the first favorite movie I had when I begun to watch film seriously in high school. I worked a single shift at a fast food restaurant and quit afterwards, but made just enough that night to buy the old Criterion DVD. Bums me out that the blu-ray is OOP and outrageously expensive. Haven't seen it in years…

I'd just force it to read Gravity's Rainbow four or five times as I have until it has a firm grasp of: the human desire for intimacy and sex; the fascination and fear of death; the attempts to fit the impossibly broad and incoherent events of history into a unified narrative; the compulsion to understanding the…

A model who looks like she was created by my subconscious.

Ruby Rose - anybody.

No, because Scream wasn't stupid.

Cabin in the Woods didn't say anything Scream didn't say a decade and a half earlier. And Scream was a more entertaining movie. Cabin's commentary was dated the minute it hit screens.

I feel like Drew doesn't get the black humor of Gone Girl. Of course it's nuts.

Inglourious Basterds has so much going for it than that. It's not only an airtight script - managing the rare feat of introducing FOUR disparate plots (Shoshanna's escape, Landa's hunt, the Basterds' plot and the British plot) and marrying them all together without ever losing the thread - but it's an incredibly…

If you thought Inglourious Basterds was lazy or in any way about righteous, justified violence, you couldn't have missed the point by a wider margin.

Fifty Shades of Grey will be worthwhile if it leads to a return of mainstream nudity and sexuality in film.

Where the hell is my Eastern Promises sequel? They set it up so clearly!

…seriously?

Jokes have no place in a sitcom!

100% agreed, I felt very little for the lead because I never had any sense of him as a person, besides, like you said, the obvious empathy I felt as somebody who was once a young boy.

I liked it well enough, but any year in which Guardians of the Galaxy was the best film would be a pretty weak one.

I liked Boyhood well enough, so I wish the critical consensus that it's some earth-shaking masterpiece wasn't doing its best to make me want to knock it down a peg or two. It hangs together WAAAAY too loosely for me to have the sort of emotional impact most insist it has, and only a handful of moments in it (in a film…
