“The problem is, is that Hollywood has no interest in a post Zimmer-dominated film music world, to actually make themes that stand-out. Music can’t be distracting to the film, so it has to be ‘anonymous.’”

Just as an FYI for anyone who might enjoy trivia, this is my 200th Random Roles to appear on the AV Club...and, boy, are my arms tired!

I like the music in the opening sequence, and Frank’s meandering on the guitar humanizes him because it makes him slightly lame, which can be charming.

The same neighbor he threw through his front window?

There’s a lot of good stuff on the soundtrack, though, including one of Tom Waits’ greatest recent songs, and the best use of Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love”

Dear Marvel, just use Run the Jewels for everything.

And somehow less racist

I would love a good Tales of Asgard.

Manson should have been nominated for Attorney General. He’d be an improvement over the psychopath who currently holds that job.

As mad at you and I would both be at Trump for making Charles Manson Secretary of Health and Human Services, I think the real villains would be the Congress that allowed it.

Amen. This is the first time I’d watched a 3D/Imax film since Pacific Rim, and during that first fight when it zoomed out it looked like this giant little stage set in front of me with Thor battling the the forces of Muspelheim, swinging his hammer straight out of the best comics to Immigrant Song. And then during…

Do you think the costume is “sexist” because it has bare shoulders? Because it’s really just stylized ancient Greek armor

DC lets whatever director has a half-assed idea about “deconstructing” the source material (which they haven’t bothered to understand in the first place) do essentially anything they want.

What a colossally inaccurate take.

Exactly.

You know, using a person’s suicide as a means to defend a movie as immune from criticism is low even for Snyder fanboys. I mean, what does his daughter’s death have to do with his filmography? There’s nothing wrong with feeling sympathy for him because of what happened to his daughter, but using it as an excuse to…

Wait a minute, the former President of the United States and MANIMAL are...one and the same?

It’s not “superhero fatigue” Look how well Thor is doing. It’s the fact that this is getting terrible reviews, and a lot of people arent getting burned by DC movies again (Wonder Woman excluded, of course.)

I few things I love about the elevator fight in Winter Soldier: it’s not too long, doesn’t overstay its welcome or credibility (I’m looking at you, clip from Man of Tai Chi); it’s not just straight up beatings - when Cap gets his hand stuck to the wall, it raises the stakes, and changes the pace; and it’s the set-up…

The scene with Viggo and his son, and the lead up to it (“oh”), is also my favorite part of the movie. Usually the rule is “show don’t tell”, but they do such a masterful, fun job of building up the legend of John Wick that you know everything you need to about this world when all hell breaks loose. The structure of…
