I seem to recall Alan Cumming also made his own cologne that smelled like semen!

I went to Bumbershoot back in 2006 and as I was walking along the fairway I made eye contact with David Cross who was walking right next to me! True story!

Remember Sliders? Man that show sucked.

I am working on a master's degree in literature and all I can say is that the grad students here will not shut up about Kanye's never-ending fountain of genius. He is praised constantly and whole-heartedly. For art students somewhere to reject him sounds extremely refreshing to me.

Okay, I can get behind this. Sold. (Until the next preview anyway.)

Has anyone here read "What is Marriage?" I have, and would love to hear what fellow AV Clubbers think about it.

I was 18 when Phantom Menace premiered and I remember feeling like we (my group) all knew it sucked but nobody really wanted to admit it. Then it was over, it was 3:00 in the A.M. and this one kid behind me said, "Well THAT sucked" but I acted like I didn't hear him. When the preview came out we were all pretty darn…

I was on board until that old man dressed like Han Solo showed up at the end. I always assumed Han Solo would have just married Leia and become a shipping magnate or something in the post-rebellion world. I guess he just kept wearing the same jacket for 30 years.

Hey wait a second. I just realized War Horse is also A.I.!!

The space-time thing is the best explanation. It reminds me of Dante's Divine Comedy when he asks why spirits look emaciated even though they don't have bodies. There's an explanation about spirits and air and light and consciousness and stuff. Enough that even if it doesn't make a lot of sense to me, I am confident…

Yeah, I think only the memories she had up until she lost that hair and the cell with the DNA that she lost.

I don't remember why but I also thought it had to do with some kind of self-imposed rule. I don't think they explain why it's for 24-hours, do they? They just say that it is. Kind of implies that there is no biological reason for it?

If we're accepting that human beings can somehow engineer "artificial intelligence" complete with the ability to "imprint" and feel "love," then I think cloning someone with her memories intact is kind of not a big deal. I mean these future robot makers were basically able to create life as we know it, right? They are…

I always thought that was a great touch, actually. Having to pay a fee to use an "Ask Jeeves" type internet search struck me as so weird that it actually rings true on some level. Maybe Spielberg envisioned a world where the lack of Net Neutrality is taken to its logical conclusion.

I kind of think if there is one movie by Wes Anderson that critics will still be praising and poring over in a hundred years, it will be The Life Aquatic. But I'm biased because it's my favorite. Grand Budapest probably my second fave, though!

You know I just threw out Interstellar because I assumed it would be! I'm surprised it didn't make it. I've got nothing but love for Inception.

Thank you for sharing this! I seriously had no idea this existed and I've read practically everything Ebert ever wrote. His experience mirrored mine, to a degree. After reading all the positive reviews for this movie I was stoked to see it. It was even playing in my local indie movie theater in Montana, which is a…

This is the first time I've actually read something negative about Computer Chess and now I can feel sane again.

Ah yes, Contact—the proto-Interstellar! Complete with Matthew Maconaughey as some sort of secular humanist theologian spaceman!

I think you meant Sight and Sound Poll, which is also a pretty important poll of the best movies ever. The AFI one got me started back in high school, and then I got into Criterion's list of movies. I am currently doing Ebert's Great Movies, but that Sight and Sound one looks great.
