Inside Out is so damn good, second only to WALL-E in the Pixar oeuvre in my mind, and maybe their most ambitious film. That they made a comedic, colorful, inventive, wildly entertaining animated picture about the downsides of emotional repression and the benefits of sadness just blows me away.

Solo is bad and utterly pointless. In fairness, it never had a chance to be anything more than that. Han Solo was already the coolest motherfucker in the galaxy, what could this movie possibly accomplish other than making that less so?

There’s a point where the ridiculous pacing descends into self parody. The part where I gave up is when they’re headed to the Death Star wreck, and the sea is said to be impassable until morning. I thought “ok, we’re going to set up camp, finally slow down for a scene or two, let the characters breathe for a

The trailer’s got a patented Liotta Laugh, it’s gotta be good.

I’m not going to say there’s nothing in the movie that’s aged poorly, but this is the stretchiest stretch that ever stretched. This is a movie where one of the villains is named Papshmir. If the name was meant to be a joke, it would’ve been waaaay more obvious.

I liked everything but the ear holes. That was just weird and made me feel uncomfortable every time I saw them. There has got to be a better way.

She’s such a phony baloney!

A reminder that way back when Superman Returns development was flailing around, Abrams’ treatment involved Lex Luthor as a kung-fu fighting secret Kryptonian CIA agent.

I’ve said it before and I love Shattered Glass but they’re basically the same performance. Just plug in different character names.

A slave kid who was divinely conceived, and the farmboy who was the son of said divine conception.  Humble beginnings indeed.

I adore the final shot of TLJ, and I hate how they pissed it all away in that last film.

I don’t even agree that this was some kind of personal art project. Another one of the many things that killed the whole trilogy was that the first movie has absolutely no reason to exist. Nothing that happens in it needs to be witnessed firsthand. None of the events affect the characters in any way. Palpatine’s power

Same, I also would’ve liked to see more of his antagonistic relationship with Hawkeye. “Nobody would know. Nobody.”

It’s the Golden Globes.  When have they ever been based on merit?

Feels like a missed opportunity if there isn’t at least some Full House reference, considering Elizabeth’s sisters..

That’s too mean to Olive Garden and too nice to Hannity.

I would guess it’s for the same reason the Jedi mowed down droids in the prequels - to not have our heroes slaughtering people by the dozens.

The performances in that movie are just top-notch across the board. Diaz as mentioned, also Stiller at his most likably nebbish, W. Earl Brown who finds the comedy as a realistically disabled person without being mawkish or offensive, Chris Elliott at the peak of his banal grossness, and friggin’ Matt Dillon as a

It’s not a perfect match, as Olyphant has more of an inherently mischievous, bordering on villainous quality to him, but he’s the closest thing this franchise has had to classic Han Solo, and he should really be in all the things.

If I didn’t see the name in the credits and have a long dead neuron fire because of it, I wouldn’t have recognized him. It’s not like he made much of an impression in his lone previous appearance.
