Sure, well! Remembered for nothing more than a twist is certainly what Roger Ebert said when he said “M. Night Shyamalan’s “Signs” is the work of a born filmmaker, able to summon apprehension out of thin air”, or when he said: “The purpose of the film is to evoke pure emotion through the use of skilled acting and…

If you make a great film, you are by definition a great director. Orson Welles is regarded as a great director. People who are great are not always consistent. Jean Cocteau was a genius filmmaker, but not consistent. Does that somehow make his talent less?

That’s can’t be right. By that logic, Citizen Kane does not deserve to be a classic because Orson Welles went on to worse things, and then became an alcoholic wreck, and those things somehow retroactively made the movie “worse”.

This whole thing literally makes no sense. Not even literally like... metaphorically, but as in the words that you are writing to form thoughts do not form thoughts that connect with each other.

You SPECIFICALLY asked me WHY we should talk about his successes more than his failures, and I SPECIFICALLY ANSWERED that question.

You’re clearly younger than those movie releases, because I don’t think you understand just HOW big the Sixth Sense was, and how many people have seen Unbreakable. Sixth Sense was literally the only movie people talked about for months after its release. It’s grossed a BILLION dollars worldwide.

1) Because his successes have become part of the film canon, while his failures were merely ordinary failures.

Not precisely. What made it work is the heritage of the two symbols, and their mutual corruption. It didn’t really make a tremendous difference that they were friends before, but what made a difference was that Superman had travelled far down the road to becoming a totalitarian and Batman had become a dark, violent…

GAWL-DAMMIT! HE’S DESCRIBIN THANGS! GIT ‘IM, PAW!

It’s ok, chances are he won’t want to swill Two Buck Chuck with you in the back of your El Camino either.

Just wanted to chime in here with two things:

Let’s be frank. If your family cares about 80$ a week spent on formula, no stranger is targeting your kid.

Actually it’s a bona fide Mercedes sign. Peace sign has three legs on the bottom, and that’s the proper orientation for Mercedes logo.

Just as an aside, a surfactant is simply anything that lowers surface tension. A soap is a surfactant, but this isn't why it cleans. Lipids like oils and fats are hydrophobic, so they don't dissolve in water. Soap attaches to those molecules, and provides a surface for water to bond with, making it dissolvable in…

Hey man, heteronormative is heteronormative. It's like saying "fuck your basketball team", but if that basketball team were your basic being.

Uh. The Krilitane were a joke! Ugly, stupid bat-like creatures who screeched, who couldn't outrun ordinary people despite being gifted with wings, and who got blown up by their own reeking body oil in a cafeteria by K-9!

I think you're substantially underrating this casting. Jamie Bell is a slim, athletic dancer. He was Billy Elliot as a kid, and later was motion-captured as the athletic, nimble Tintin in the spielburg animated movie (which is EPIC, and I love it).

I sincerely thought this was going to be a guide to interesting ways to use the herb Mint in food and drink, and I have to admit, I'm pretty disappointed.

The game has a “Beasthood” stat, though it’s difficult to grok

It seems ironic to take your public statements down to 140 characters each, then use that terseness to tell elaborate justifications on "why I'm right", and "these are all the things my drunk, dickhead parents do", and then "why don't my parents like me"? A few years ago, this all would have been once concise…
