Yes, I know. He told nuanced stories about dark issues. But this one is just a normal “please fuck me” song. The Sting of old would have made it super creepy, or told it from the point of view of the girl who doesn’t want to fuck Sting yet. It’s disappointing from him.

Actually, that guy just slipped and dropped his gun. DeNiro is just handing it back to him. What a nice guy!

“Kill him.”

They all have iconic, wonderful moments, with huge tracts of incompetence linking them together. Fewer than 10% of Sci Fi and Fantasy films have something as identifiable and amazing as the delivery of “DO IT.”

Sting has a history of making pop songs about morally objectionable issues, so the fact that this song about begging for sex doesn’t seem to be self aware kind of annoys me.

I was trying to add to it! “The W it ch” is a movie that fits the pattern, but you have to break the “it” out of the middle of a word.

Sounds kinky. You would need consent.

Last Jedi does a great job of it, in my opinion.

Or, you could just follow the obvious path the original series was implying. They have kids. She gets sick of his shit and leaves him. He follows her and kills her, but the kids get away. Fuck it, she could be the one that cuts off all his limbs. 

“I’ve examined Princess Amadala, and according to my research, she may have network connectivity problems.”

You know, it isn’t all bad. There’s just enough really good stuff in there to make it disappointing. And we all know that’s worse.

Seconded, although I have to admit a big problem is that they started making horror films in the 1800s, and A History of Violence started in the 70s. Lot’s of the old stuff holds up, too, so you really would have to start very early.

Scary movies that are actually just unsettling, and all have the word “it” in the title. You can add “The Witch” to that list.

Spoon with Michael? Yes.

You are assuming the failures of the simulation we live in would be the same as the failures in the simulations we make inside that simulation. That’s like someone inside Minecraft saying his world is real because when he turns his head doesn’t see the redstone creating the world.

Because if you order a Doritos taco you go through the drive through to hide your shame.

Why are you looking at me like that?

How about a horror movie? He takes the blue pill, goes back to work, and in the background there are all sorts of crazy things happening, which the character is willfully ignoring. People getting kidnapped, people losing their mouths, all that shit. And he can’t do anything about it, he already took the wrong pill. 

Cypher may not even believe it himself. What he is doing is essentially suicide, even if they DO put him back in as a rich actor. 

The first third is one of the best movies of the decade. One of the best comedies, one of the best action movies, a movie worthy of stealing from Groundhog Day. The last third is terrible, and completely worthy of just hitting stop and watching something else.
