That’s a fantastic pull.

Maybe. I dunno, though. First act incoherence problems like those described in the review sound like restructuring issues. My guess is that those poorly-received test screenings this summer really freaked them out and they overcorrected with reshoots and plot-tinkering. Again. This just keeps happening. Love and…
Yeah, it’s really odd. Seems like they could’ve just cribbed a villain from Nova or Silver Surfer if this were the only other option. Hell, toss in some momentarily hobbled Beyonder as set-up for Secret Wars or some other Starlin b-side character. The bench is really deep when you’ve already turned the freaking GOTG…
It’s still so sad. Tony Scott was great. There’s nothing wrong with making crowd-pleasing films. I just remember people giving him so much shit for making frenetic movies that were generally enjoyable to watch. What a bizarre criticism. I know that it’s unrelated and he had a brain condition, which added to the…
I mean, not that I won’t probably watch most if not all of those shows, but the thing that I’ve always admired HBO Original Programming for was actual original storytelling. Giving creative people a chance to tell the kinds of stories that they want to tell and letting them tell them the way that they want, without…
I did not anticipate beginning my day by reading the phrase “milliner porn”, but I am thankful that the opportunity presented itself.
Yikes. I know Marvel likes twists, but this whole ‘the-worst-Kang-variant-is-the-actor-who-plays-him’ concept is going a little too far.
I literally always forget that he was in “A Time To Kill” until it’s playing before my eyes again. Not sure why. He gives a solid performance there. It’s weird.
I agree. I only mention it because I regularly see people claim that they refuse to watch films over a certain length, and it just strikes me as way too blanket of a rule that excises a fair amount of truly great cinematic experiences arbitrarily. I do get what you’re saying, though. It is a different thing. Using…
I think that the runtime kept people away much more than the content. But even with that being said, and even with being a rather large admirer of the film overall, I have to admit that the first hour and a half was considerably tighter, more focused, and more tonally consistent than the second. It kind of reminded me…
Gotta love how Netflix was like, “Sweet, people loved our show about how modern capitalism is so nightmarish that people will play a horrific and terrifying game just to survive!
House of Yes is so great and so bizarre. It doesn’t matter how much time passes either. It will always be exactly as insane as the day it was released. I’ve noticed that whenever Tori Spelling wants to be taken seriously, to this day, she will have herself billed as “from House of Yes”. Always makes me laugh. Deep…
Get ready to never look at Kiefer Sutherland the same ever again.
Yeah, I was just thinking that her entire career started with a series of pitch black indie comedy/thrillers. From Freeway to SFW to Election, then she transitioned into the mainstream with equally dark or satirical movies from Fear to Pleasantville to Cruel Intentions to American Psycho. I’d say that audiences were…
Exactly what I thought. I literally suspect that he may be a remodeled statue from an old Scooby Doo exhibit. The funny part is that, when they do this, it’s probably because people told them for years that the Freddie Prinze Jr statue looked too much like The Rock. It’s like that weird Trump/Hillary animatronic from…
Yeah, I have a hard time envisioning it, but Hugh Jackman is a total musical theater dork like 90% of the time, so I would absolutely give him a lot of leeway. Plus, I’ve been pretty impressed with the atypical moves he’s made careerwise post-Potter. If he feels like he can do it and Marvel agrees, then I would be…
I’m having an absolute blast with Fall of the House of Usher. Had to stop myself from watching the whole thing in a single eight hour blast. The tone is just so spooky and fun and the Poe stories and references are so well integrated within this big gleefully-watch-the-Sackler-family-get-destroyed-by-death-itself…
I forgot about that. Man, I loved that game.
Yeah, that’s what I’ve always thought too, although I do like the idea that The Thing is already dead and they’re both just suiciding out of pure paranoia. I’ve never even heard the eye thing before.
