I think the movie kind of wants you to figure it out on your own; the idea that the viewer would gradually come to see the end of the movie before it's happened sort of resembles what happens to Amy Adams as she becomes more fluent in the alien language, doesn't it? It definitely drops enough hints for you to get…

Scorcese is always at least solid, but when he's making a movie about something that really fascinates him, he's just about unsurpassed as a director. I'll definitely be seeing this when it comes to the less shitty of the two theaters in town.

This probably will too, somehow.

Cutting away from an action scene for any reason is almost always a bad idea. Nobody is sitting there watching a fight go down and thinking to themselves, "I wonder what that one guy's love interest is doing right now."

This seems like the type of movie that was engineered by a bunch of suits in a board room—like, "Hey, Interstellar and Gravity did well, what if we make one of those but with and a romantic angle between the two biggest stars we can get? And lose the sciency shit!" I predict that it will come to be viewed as the World…

I think it has to be in a non-sexual context. Like you can show somebody getting dressed, but not fondling a titty.

The Station Agent is a really enjoyable little movie! I'm surprised more people haven't seen it.

Next to Mahershala Ali in Moonlight, the fratty dude who wished for a tail might be the most believable film performance of the year. His delivery when he gets too stoned when they're hanging out with those other dudes and awkwardly announces that it's time to get going…it hit a little close to home.

This is a good list, and I'm especially happy to see Green Room so high up—it was basically a gory, exploitative grindhouse flick, but acted and directed as masterfully as any Oscar contender. There's really not much else like it.

Have fun—it's a really great game!

Wwwwwhy…?

While a lot of top-down action games like Hotline Miami and Nuclear Throne are really made for KB/M, I think Hyper Light Drifter is vastly superior with a controller. While the control scheme isn't particularly intricate, you still need to be able to dash, swing a sword, aim, shoot, switch guns, use health packs, and…

Goddamn you are tedious.

The same artist who created the score also did the music for Fez and the movie It Follows, and both of those soundtracks are great as well. But I think this is really his best work.

Whoppers are truly the ultimate movie snack. That, and sneaking in a Nerds Rope in your pants leg.

And it would be even worse if filmmakers, knowing that most reviewers would only watch the opening act, front-loaded all the good stuff into the first half-hour and then allowed each subsequent scene to be increasingly phoned-in.

But doesn't Tickemaster make the same money regardless of whether their tickets are bought by scalpers or actual concertgoers? And regardless of whom it's intended to benefit, it clearly does benefit—even if only incidentally—both the fans and the artists who have an interest in leaving audiences with the sense that…

Well, Tickemaster are a bunch of ripoff artists in their own right, but at least they can claim they're creating value by offering a convenient marketplace for people to buy tickets. The scalpers aren't even doing that.

I've been to sold-out shows with people getting turned away at the door, where tickets cost $10-$15. Out of dozens of concerts I've been to, I think I've paid more than $50 for tickets maybe three times. The average person can scrape together that kind of money for a band they really want to see.

"why should they be within reach of every punter?"
