As the show gets longer and duller, their scenes together remain a bright spot.

70 minutes!

I just assumed it got cancelled because the finale will be 517 minutes long and that won’t leave time for a Q&A

I also really enjoy the opening fight when Achilles thrusts his sword through the top of the guy’s shoulder like he was made of room-temperature butter. It shouldn’t work, but it does.

It’s been like that for a few months now. AVClub lists used to be fun, but they’re pretty lazy these days.

That wasn’t the only Robert Zemeckis movie released that year to be spoiled by the trailers. The other was Cast Away.

Bana is one of those actors that Hollywood tried to make happen, but couldn’t, like Thomas Jane. The problem is they keep giving them bland roles. Joel Edgerton was almost that guy, but he’s done really good work in The Green Knight and The Underground Railroad.

I want to see a movie where Roland Emmerich attempts to sing “New York, New York” at a karaoke bar, but completely destroys it.

I really enjoyed the movie. It’s nothing special, but it’s a lot of fun. Not enough is said about Michael Sheen’s scenery chewing.  It seemed like only he and Jeff Bridges had any fun making the film.

I still don’t know what to make of this movie, but it’s a big swing and I have to respect that.

Jamie’s mom looked awfully young, and sure enough, the actor (Leanne Best, niece of one-time Beatle Pete Best) is only 12 years older than Phil Dunster. This suggests to me that Jamie’s mom had him very young, which would also explain how a kind, loving woman could’ve gone for a total knob like his father.

It’s truly remarkable the more I learn about the game, the more I’m put off by it. (It’s not a knock against the game per se—I’m just marveling how each update manages to introduce new features that are not to my taste at all. I long for turn-based FF of old.)

I refused to play XII for fifteen years because I was put off by the concept of real time battles and the gambit system. After finding myself enjoying the combat of FF7R so much, I gave XII a try. I’m glad I did because I absolutely loved the gambit system. It’s a good thing too, because the story of XII was a total…

What makes holocaust films doubly tough on me is my grandparents were survivors. (Some of the Schindler Jews have my surname, but it’s uncertain of we’re related or not.) What a lot of these films tend to leave out is just how traumatized the survivors ultimately are. (Maus gets it right though—it not only depicts the…

Schindler’s List, The Pianist, and to complete the trifecta, Cannibal Holocaust.

It’s Princess Mononoke, right? I mean, do any of the other films feature people being decapitated and delimbed from super powered arrows?

While the US theatrical cut has its uncomfortable moments, the director’s cut really ramps up the creep factor.

I didn’t find it cringy at the time, but I was 13 then and was just really happy that I successfully snuck into the theater.

Next season: “Somehow Rupert returned!”

He really was a weird character, wasn’t he? Though I did like when he used 4 lightsabers as spinning wheels of death.
