it really was the perfect part for Bloom...I think he’s a pretty terrible actor but everything that was wrong about him in Kingdom of Heaven was right for him here, and the fact that he was kind of dippy gave Knightly’s character extra sharpness and agency

Um...”fictional East India Company”?

The first was good. Cloverfield Lane was great. Paradox I would like removed surgically from my brain.

Honestly, I don’t think we need any more. The first accomplished its “what is it like to get stepped on by Godzilla” conceit very well, and what it didn’t do, the unjustly overlooked Monsters covered well.

Alejandro Innaritu made Birdman as a comedy because he was well aware that as a drama, it would come off as the most insufferably pretentious and self-righteous movie ever made. It seems this is that movie.

So Denzel has a Macbeth coming up, and that sounds interesting! But otherwise he’s spent the past few years mostly working these boilerplate avengers without any of the complexity (maybe not quite the best word) that say, Liam Neeson seems to bring to the same-ish boilerplate material. All the talk about a dated…

I wonder if maybe we will see a lot more stuff like this - enjoyable boilerplate genre movies that work as background noise for a home audience in the wake of covid basically destroying theaters. I actually want to see this movie, not because I am a fan of the genre or even the actors (Denzel has led me wrong too many…

I remain confounded by people who cast Rami Malek as a straight man. I was thinking of this watching The Master, as well. His eyes are too subversive that he draws attention to himself, even if the camera isn’t on him. Which makes you expect something of him. And when that doesn’t come, you’re left wondering “why cast…

As useful as streaming is, some movies are just made to be watched on cable at 3 p.m. on a Saturday.

the CAA corporation certainly deserves a lot of credit, but i gotta give a lot to leto himself at this point. either that or 30 seconds to mars has a bigger fanbase than i’ve realized.

Or we could give credit to his agent. Dude’s a fucking miracle worker at this point.

“It’s an amusingly unsubtle performance”

you know as much as i don’t like him and think he’s probably a bad person i gotta give jared leto credit for just CONSTANTLY booking work.

“Cliché” is a noun. “Clichéd” is an adjective.

The same reason joaquin Phoenix does...

I’m going to go one better for you, the PS4 and the XB1 were a bad idea.  They were underpowered for what they were and designed to sell at a profit.  The PS4p and the 1x is what they should have launched with only with faster processors.

“gone from expensive open worlds rendered in 4K to...more expensive open worlds rendered in 4K.”

My fiancé is a big fan of Assassin’s Creed (well, that and Skyrim are about the only games she’ll play).

As someone who is still rocking a launch PS4, I am still 100% of the opinion that all consoles should aim for 1080p60 above all else. I know the framerate struggle, and while I know the Pro did help with framerates in SOME games, it still came significantly short of delivering the 1080p60 dream. But I know for a fact…

Or the depressingly mediocre HBO series that recently aired.

Look over there!
