He’s directed 3 theatrical movies in 20 years plus two more for TV. So, we don’t really.

But I had all these t-shirts made!

Where the fun never starts!

Now playing

Seriously. I mean, here he is as a young man. He was barely 89!

Please, sir.  Can I have less?

It’s plausible that rain played a role, though we’ve had enough heavy rains in SoCal over the last month that our roads aren’t very slick right now when wet. I think the fact that he’s 97 is probably a bigger factor. 

A quick BDSM scene, complete with whips and chains, foregrounds Pip’s time with Havisham, turning the feminist subtext of Dickens into text. ... Havisham and Estella treat him as their boy toy, with responsibilities including hide and seek, dance lessons, and forcing him to lose his virginity to a sex-positive member

Well this sounds just about awful.

Steven Knight’s second stab at Dickens, begins with Pip (Fionn Whitehead) hanging himself

“Will somebody get this big walking franchise outta my way?!”

Star Wars in trouble? That’s not what I heard. My sources said, “Everything’s perfectly alright now. We’re fine. We’re all fine here now, thankyou. How are you?”

Then come back when you’ve completely misconstrued it and are seething with impotent rage. This is the internet, we have standards to maintain.

Basically it’s hard to manufacture mystique. The music on, say, Rumours is meticulous and calculated as hell, but the lightning in a bottle of that album was that the songs had mystique and were interesting, but without sacrificing their universal appeal. That’s a rare thing to do with any kind of consistency. The Mac

they’re all also scientists who are supposed to be the best in their fields, so them being absolutely stupid makes little sense

I still contend that Prometheus makes far more sense as a typical slasher movie. Shaw is the “last girl” and everyone else is dumb as rocks because they’re supposed to die dramatically.

Well rainy days and racists always get me down.

I saw this exact same statement the other day, but it was written in shit on the walls of an abandoned mental institution...

Super hero movie fatigue isn't real. What we have is bad movie fatigue.

Please. You can shove it in their faces for sure, but you can’t shove it down their throats. It’s very easy to just ignore these movies (or any big blockbuster franchise or genre in general) if you’re not interested.
