Well, to be fair, they never intended to RELEASE that first trailer— it was a special exhibition trailer they prepared exclusively for Comic-Con (a.k.a. "the audience that takes this sh*t way too seriously and would be more receptive to a super-somber, self-serious trailer"). The only reason they posted it on the

Fun? A DC movie that looks like it might actually be FUN?!?

And after the number of episodes where they went out of their way to make Patty seem observant and intelligent…

One of the ONLY good Kevin Smith films?

As someone whose only exposure to Adams and his work is through said Hitchhiker's Guide movie, I am absolutely with you on this. That movie is a lot of fun, dammit— why do people keep telling me it's mediocre?

Dogma: "In a stomach-churning movie filled with loathsome characters…"

Hrmn. I don't know… I've been burned by these "season" reviews that only go from a few episodes to judge the whole. The review for Daredevil season one criticized it for not having a traditional serialized structure, for God's sake.

So, Winn: you're walking into a meet with your crazed supervillain father, and you insist that you will only accept back-up from the FBI… if they let your best friend tag along? Your best friend who, in reality, is an invulnerable superhero that now CAN'T HELP YOU because she's surrounded by federal agents and can't

Oh, sure… Homer and Lisa breaking into a museum is too unrealistic to handle, but Homer getting his head stuck between the two sides of a drawbridge— TOTALLY plausible.

See, this is a legitimately funny premise, and Adam Driver nails the joke— playing the whole thing straight throughout— but MAN, the editing on this skit is atrocious. So many of these jokes just crash and burn because the editor cuts away too damn fast, or opens right on a gag, rather than building up to it. Timing

I could see that, if they decided to turn the show into something like a police procedural, where every character was basically a specialist and they worked together to stop some big crime lord or something. I'm not saying it's a TERRIBLE idea… but it's likewise not going to be as dramatically fulfilling as their

Agreed… the Overstuffed Team-Up (TM) is really an idea more suited to a big blockbuster movie, rather than a dramatic miniseries.

And loving it!

Oof. Well, best of luck to ya'!

I… go back and forth on Freddy vs. Jason.

Five is probably the worst of all of them. Freddy's Dead (the sixth one) is awful, but at least it's ENTERTAININGLY awful. Five, on the other hand, is boring and borderline incoherent.

Before I heard about the accolades he'd been receiving for work in films like Bronson, I remember thinking for the longest time that Hardy had just dropped off the face of the Earth after doing Star Trek: Nemesis. And that struck me as sad, 'cause even in that dull slog of a movie, the guy stood out as a crazy

I'm really torn about this.

The reason Avatar doesn't linger in the pop-culture memory is that it was created and sold to be an EXPERIENCE FIRST and a story second. The stars of the film were the 3-D and the alien world that Cameron and his production designers created; the Na'Vi and the humans were just the engine to get us to that world and

I liked Silent Night. It was a cynical, bleak piece of trash, but God damn it, it had fun being a cynical, bleak piece of trash. Malcolm McDowell chews his way through all the sets in the movie, and the ever-watchable Donal Logue spews as much nasty anti-Christmas rhetoric as it is physically possible to spew without
