If he was just in it for the money, he wouldn't have made Firefly, he wouldn't have made Dollhouse, he wouldn't have made a movie based on a television show that already flopped, and he wouldn't have made a no budget black and white Shakespeare adaptation. He probably wouldn't have made Buffy, since even that was kind…

I had heard about that, vaguely, before I saw the movie. I braced myself when the scene came up, but it ended up being pretty tame. It was like five minutes of the film, and she pretty much saves herself (and helps the rest of the group in the process.)

I don't think even thethe most mavericky of maverick talk show hosts would completely eliminate music for the format, so if they had the voice of a live band or prerecorded music, I don't see why they would go for the latter.

The narration is not a problem. We, as viewers, view the changes to the timeline in any time travel movie in a linear fashion. This is why we're able to see the bad present in Back To The Future 2, despite the fact that it was negated out of existence by the end of the film.

"Feig and McCarthy aren’t, at their core, satirists. At their best, they
use genre tropes in service of characters better than those in many
actual genre films."

It's also making fun of the fact that every action movie poster since the Dark Knight has to have a ton of debris and/or sparks flying everywhere.

What did he pull off that Conan couldn't? They have two completely different styles of hosting.

Seriously? Right after Live Another Day restored the show to its former glory?

Good thing I clean my clothes in the washing machine, and not under a stream of constantly running water, then.

So, you’re just going to ignore the above article?

My God, you've gotten fat!

Only Magicians Left Alive

Pine was also good and not-bland in Stretch, which, itself, was surprisingly good.

Thank you for being the one to repeat this deeply stupid argument. No one should criticize anything ever, unless they have done it better. This doesn't apply to yourself, of course, because you're special, or something.

"it makes the broad assumption that a movie that is big and popular is bad, and a movie that is small and niche is good."

The problem with King Kong was the middle hour. Basically, most of the stuff on Skull Island. It's an hour of the Peter Jackson excess that we would come to know and hate with the Hobbit movies. Lots of running and jumping with little in the way of tension or stakes. Everything before and after was good to fantastic.

I don't see how. It bore hardly any resemblance to reality, the antagonists were not poor, desperate, marginalized groups or people who disagree with the establishment, and Keanu was not portrayed as a moral authority.

They should have done guest hosts, like they did after Craig Ferguson left. Not all of them were good, but they all had their individual styles, and Adam Pally's was comedy gold.

Wait, what? Is my memory going, or was that cut for the west coast airing.

I think his complete lack of cynicism on Late Night was actually endearing, but now that demeanor has become the de facto standard for late night TV, and Fallon himself has become more corporate (for lack of a better word) since moving to the Tonight Show.
