People use social media to express their thoughts, but it’s so quick and easy that it requires almost no thought to express their thoughts, which is kind of the problem.

Spoiler Alert: We see Haley Joel Osment at the end and he confirms that all three of them were dead all along.

So we’re using “controversy” to mean “mild confusion based on disparity in numbering albums between different cultures” now.

WHO DARES DEFY THE AGGREGATOR?

Yes, it’s quite rare among film critics, the conviction that Last Jedi and Rian Johnson are good.

Spader-Man is great, but you wouldn’t want to be his secretary.

Then what is? Why do you think he doesn’t like movies when he clearly has a passion for them (I can’t imagine many people going into the glorious low paying cultural criticism game unless they enjoy them)? Because his tastes don’t match up to yours? Because he doesn’t like every single thing that crosses his path? Do…

I hope it’s a worthy follow up to Webs, Lies, and Videotape.

Hey, it happens to lots of guys, ok?

I wouldn’t say Robocop holds up better (they both hold up) but it definitely has a structure and a premise which lends itself to being updated. You can’t update Ghostbusters because it the premise itself is dumb and not inherently funny. It was just a framework for a very particular group of people to do their thing.

Ghost Protocol is the best. Bring back Paula Patton! They never have two women on the team. Get Paula Patton and Rebecca Ferguson on the same team. Hell, add Michelle Pfeiffer and sit the other guys for a movie.  

That’s a good call on the balance between “spy stuff” and the bigger setpieces. I think it’s also a balance between brawn and everything else (like smarts/wits, technology, etc.). The motorcycle chase scenes, fist fights, skydives, etc., are all fun to watch and, like you said, are required in these movies, but I miss…

I still really like the first one because of the spy stuff, especially during the first half of that movie.  I’d love to see more of that old-school espionage in the next movies.

Fallout had some great action setpieces, but it had way, way too little of the sneaky spy shenanigans that are the hallmark of a true Mission: Impossible story. Instead there were lots of car chases and motorcycle chases and helicopter chases and punching. I rewatched Rogue Nation the weekend after seeing Fallout; I…

Take her head and rub her nose in the terrible tip and say, “Did you do that? No! Bad tipper, bad!” She should learn her lesson after the second or third time.

Always bet on (big) black!

Seems obvious to me. Less adult movies, less attempts at serious commentary on religion, politics, etc. that end up backfiring in polarizing/controversial ways and get 67% because they immediately alienate a third of people watching them. When everything is a comic book movie, franchise movie, or jump-scare horror,…

Where does he call it “stupid”? That word doesn’t appear in this review. I don’t know how you could even infer it from an article that heaps so much praise on Marvel.

The line reading when Paula says to Nathaniel’s discovery of unfairness in the legal system : “No, no one did. Thank god you figured it out”, had me on the floor.

I have severely cut down my trailer consumption in the last 5 years, and it’s been nothing but win-win.
