If I remember correctly, it was even less than that (but, of course, I may be mis-remembering). I thought it was .5%, aka half of a percent.

Does the commenting community here drive a large percentage of unique hits? Do we have numbers on that?

This fall, Ron Scneider and Marlon Wayans are teaming up to murder comedy…

To be fair, just about any high profile lunatic gets their share of lunatic fans.

There are jokes to spare in Begins and TDK. Rises was the one movie in the trilogy that went pretty light on the humor, and even that had a couple of reasonably amusing moments (for example, the over-eager young cop's interaction with the older cop and reaction to taking a shot at Batman).

There's some misplaced retroactive backlash now, but Nolan's Batman movies were all very well received by critics at the time of release.

The first one is pretty dumb, but I can almost sort of kinda maybe generously see how that person could get that idea stuck in their mind somehow. I guess. I'm being quite charitable there.

More specifically worth pointing out, he did lose that goddamned meaningless popular vote by almost 3 milly.

Yeah, it's a bad, unpleasant movie. Its biggest flaw, in my opinion, is that at no point do you really believe any primary character cares about anyone or anything other than him/herself. Plenty of other movies featuring "unlikable" characters are made better simply by getting us to buy in that these irredeemable

The thing about Very Bad Things is that it doesn't try to pretend that its characters are remotely good or likable, and what follows the initial death isn't presented as "hijinks". There's hardly anyone to root for, and what proceeds is just a series of outright murders that aren't presented as anything but what they

The one girl dies, the other one actually survives post-hallucination. The hallucination is extra pointless in that regard.

Then it pans out more and we see that our entire universe is actually one marble of many in a giant cage in some alien kid's bedroom.

Well, sort of. Mike is leaving just a bit of it unspoiled, namely that they sort of punk out at the end and she gets rescued anyway.

Entirely possible I'm reading too much into it, hence the "error on the side of." Thing is, I feel like I brought up a valid point. It may not seem like it, but I'm also willing to engage in someone else disagreeing if they want to give actual counterarguments and not make… let's say "curious" accusations about my

How does my observation derail the discussion about anything else? I've acknowledged that my observation is as valid as Elizabeth's. You're just uncomfortable with the issues of white feminism, like many other people. Also, "Social Issues Domino game". Domino games; black people. Coincidence? Eh, given the dismissive

Legos!

Pedantry regarding name spelling? Declaration of "wrong" with no elaboration? Condescending attitude toward question of racial issues? Swatted in the paint!

Bah. Facts!

Mutumbo!

Given the issues of white feminism, I don't think brevity of career is much of an excuse. Particularly when you make a movie about a singing competition. Its not like she made a movie about a lone family vacation in Delaware. That would be reasonably excusable. Look at the racial balance of your average popular
