My friend who saw Dunkirk with me for his second time had been in the second row his first time. With me, we were dead center in the top row. That would be too high for normal theatres, or even for a digital Imax theatre, but in a “real” Imax theatre, that still puts you less than halfway up the height of the screen.…
The best hack is not even a really a hack. Only patronize theatres that offer reserved seating.
Film is absolutely different than books, especially blockbuster films, and that appears to be what Disney is going for. I have no issues with changes, even drastic ones, if those changes serve the film. It is just that these changes are a little off-putting, at least initially. I will certainly try to go to it with as…
This is our gaggle — Sofia, Sydney, Raimi & Leone — with their grandparents. Yes, we call them our children, call ourselves mom & dad, and call our parents their grandparents. Sue us.
+1 Boon.
Fair enough, but I would argue that Meg’s emotional state is intrinsic to the book — she is the lens through which we experience the world. I doubt that most readers would get a vision of bright primary colours when they read the book. But everyone’s mileage may vary.
I agree with all of the above, save for my reservation that while all of it looks gorgeous, none of it looks anything like how I picture things from the book. And I am not talking about the diverse cast — that is wonderful. When a movie adapts a book, how the characters look compared to how they were described in the…
Wait a minute: pleading out to child sex trafficking is preferable to child pornography? “Yeah, I’ll take the trafficking with live children as long as you agree to drop the charges relating to possessing pictures of someone else doing the trafficking.” What am I missing here?
I was chewing my nails through the first half, especially after the Rams marched right down to make a touchdown on their opening drive, and especially considering that the Vikings made some big errors, penalties, & bad plays in that half. But the nerves calmed considerably in the second half, when they tightened up! I…
Like Facebook’s asking people to send their photos to them to help fight revenge porn, I cannot imagine anything going wrong with this app. . . If you cannot trust social networking and third party apps, who can you trust?
Thank you. I was starting to get annoyed by all the armchair authenticity quarterbacks. It is not like Nick did not clearly identify Marcella Hazan right in the article.
You clearly have great personal experience with idiocy. Here is what I said “from the get-go”:
I agree with you wholeheartedly about being cautious with Prague powder. But in this case, you use a very minuscule amount. And it is unnecessary in terms of directly affecting the flavour, but the interesting thing relative to this whole pointless argument is that our brains can be fooled quite easily. When you have…
Ah, now I understand. You were replying to your fantasy. I never declared anyone to be an unenlightened caveman. You can read entire novels into less than forty words. You, on the other hand, declared me to be just that, and repeatedly insulted me. You unloaded on me first. READ YOUR FIRST COMMENT TO ME. And then you…
Hah. I let myself get so dragged down that I never even thought about the fact that the whole BBQ argument was a straw man.
The funny thing is that I thought the first comment was criticising the fact that I sauced them, and it was going to be a dry vs. sauced debate. What fool I.
No, but funnily enough, I think that my wife would be safer with things tied to her wheel. At least that way she would be looking vaguely forward.
Hah. I would have bolded the word, but I am posting from my phone and I can never get the tools to work. All caps seemed too obvious, but maybe it wouldn’t have been!
Good Lord, I need some sleep. I read that headline as:
