And then, The Church elected the patron saint of pedophile priests, Pope Benedict, who immediately elevated America’s patron saint of pedophile priests, Cardinal Law, sweeping him to Rome to evade criminal penalties.

I was just reading a great quote from her where she said that she didn’t kill her career - she killed the career that the studios wanted for her, and it’s the most rock and roll thing I’ve ever heard.

“Fight the real enemy.”

Aw, how horrible. She was an interesting, deeply troubled artist with an amazing voice, some great collaborations, and lots of burnt bridges. Infuriating, up and down, energetic, all over the place... now the parasites and documentarians waddle in and package that messy life with a nice, neat narrative.

There was a time where the Indy riding behind the car on his whip was a big deal and they showed clips of it all the time and the making of it. 

1-16 Pick a Jackie Chan Movie

After Hours is my favorite Scorsese movie other than Goodfellas. Did he ever try another movie with anything like the vibe of this? Maybe Bringing out the Dead? That is pretty different though

Yeah, the movie was great until they forgot what genre it was halfway through and turned it into a movie about two CGI dragons bumping into each other.

I loved all the parts of the first movie that were about Shang-Chi being a Master of Kung-Fu.

When they decided it needed to be another eyesore CGI fest, that’s when I tuned out. Really hoping the next one, whenever it comes out, leans into what makes the character unique.

Me, yelling as they strip me of my Canadian citizenship: Simu Liu has no charisma! He’s like a sentient can of beige paint!

ahh  I wasn’t aware of that.  I think everyone knew there was no way in hell Mutt would be back. It would be great if was explained that he died on his way back to his home planet, with the aliens from Kingdom of Crystal Skull.

love that cameron is legitimately an expert on this and also made a movie where arnold schwarzenegger says ‘chill out, dickwad’

We don’t hate Schumacher, we hate Batman and Robin, and are annoyed by Batman Forever. But it wasn’t really his fault, the studio wanted it to be more lighthearted and family friendly. Hate Schumacher? On the contrary, how could we ever hate the man who gave us Lost Boys?

Four years (I guess seven by the time the next one debuts) since a “Star Wars” movie is a “lengthy hiatus?” You do remember we had to wait 16 years for “Phantom Menace,” right? And then 12 for “The Force Awakens?” Not for nothing, but given those films’ legacies, maybe we should wait even longer.

Start with ‘The Road.’ Starting with 'Blood Meridian' would be, well, hoo-boy.

“I believe in periods, capitals, and the occasional comma. That’s it. Simple, declarative sentences...”
“Sorry Mr. McCarthy, you just aren’t what we are looking for in a new A.V. Club writer. But thanks for coming in.”

I dunno, I wouldn’t. Maybe if his weird auteurist vision had turned out better. They don’t make proper Hulk movies for rights reasons but give me Thor 3 any day.

It may be a generational thing, but I’d venture Treat Williams was best known for Hair and not a teen show that aired on the WB, fifteen to twenty years ago.

Lots to like in this movie, but also a lot that doesn’t work. At a certain point, the central gag of seeing more and more (and more and more!) Spider-Man variants becomes seriously diminishing returns, just hashing out the same joke, over and over, even if the two main new entries in this movie, Spider Punk and Indian…

Can someone please make a movie palatable to kids and adults that isn’t over two hours long? Is there any reason this needs to be 40 minutes longer than the original?
