I don't see any hint this movie will be about saving anyone; indeed, it looks as though it'll be all about is killing the mosquito-people from Attack of the Clones. But they'll be invading us and they look like mosquitoes, so Snyder's murder fetish will feel slightly less creepy than normal.

I hear you, but then again, then-Senator Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize solely for non-violently beating McCain in 2008, so what do I know?

Steve Rogers: "Big man in a suit of armor. Take that off, what are you?"
Tony Stark: "Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist."

Barry Allen: "What are your superpowers, again?"
Bruce Wayne: "I'm rich."
*In the above mashup, Tony rolls his eyes.*

"It all seemed, well, pretty fun, actually!"

And Battle: Los Angeles totally succeeds at what it sets out to do. Yet another Newswire Fail… :P

Maybe, but either way, the whole kidnapping thing was a tremendously unsatisfying narrative cheat - IMHO, IIRC.

The problem to me was the lollipop gag just seemed so egregiously stupid that it unfairly stacked the deck towards Eckhart's character. And there's that ending where he's supposed to seem all clever and smart for coming up with the line "there's no proven link between cell phones and brain cancer", which, duh, you…

It was a long time ago, so my memory is a bit fuzzy, but the third act requires us to believe that Clooney and Vera Farmiga spent that whole wedding weekend together chatting, with her concealing her spouse and family the whole time, and then she makes Clooney look like the bad guy for egregiously intruding upon her…

Boy, is Thank You for Smoking ever a Third-Act Failure movie: instead of having the morally bankrupt protagonist's life blow up as he deserves, his kidnapping makes him an unironic hero, and the smarmy liberals suggest digitally altering classic film smoking in favor of lollipop-holding, because, sure, that's a…

Hasn't The Sharper Image been selling this sort of thing for decades?

Same reason suspects who've been caught on CCTV avoid going home? Probably a few Star Destroyers parked outside Alderaan after Scarif.

Well, see, that would have been going way too far in the Shlocktown direction. I'm getting Pacific Rim flashbacks already, and I haven't even seen that POS. But a simple Force pull? Just one? ;)

Aye, great ending, but I still can't decide whether not giving the monk a triumphant Force pull on that switch was ballsy misdirection or shockingly incompetent storytelling. On the one hand, it kinda makes sense that he wouldn't have the ability, much less concentration, to achieve that… but on the other hand, how…

Theory: if that old man in Up had shown more ambition than selling balloons to zoo visitors his whole damn life, he and his wife could have gone on adventurous travels, and qualified to adopt, giving themselves the family they clearly wanted (so long as it was a genetic family? Paging Rep. King!).

In the clip, he says we should respect our Commander-in-Chief. Brian, I'm a veteran, and you're not. If this were a President McCain or Romney, I'd reluctantly agree. But there will be no respect for Biff Trumpen from me.

"The meaning of being lonely."

Not that I care one way or the other, but… shouldn't fashion try to innovate? And why not take cues from a fashion-overlooked, by Western standards, part of the world?

You don't see Lance Bass pulling that kind of shit today, now, do you?!

To be fair, and I'm not even a big Dunst fan, her in that dress was the single best thing in that movie.

The header photo looks like this new Iron Fist chap to me.
