When I get really melancholic, which is unfortunately often, I tend to fall back on this movie. Which is weird, because it isn’t terribly upbeat, it’s got a lot of fundamental storytelling and sociopolitical problems, and it ends on a down note (I’m of the opinion that Holden and Banky have fond memories of their

I grew up watching the Dallas Cowboys winning Super Bowls with my mom, and I’ve spent a lot of years since seeing the team never quite reach that level of success again. But since Aikman, Romo has been the most hopeful and most fun (and most frustrating) to watch play. The best QB to take a middling to terrible

I fucking love Anne Hathaway. I thought she was incredible in Love and Other Drugs, and she’s been very good in a great many other things, as well as seemingly amiabke as a person and a performer.

Rick Remender is an unrelentingly bleak writer, whose stuff I love all the same. Weirdly, Tokyo Ghost just didn’t hit the same notes for me. Maybe because it all felt so over-the-top and excessive, especially the violence (and I’m not the squeamish type; it just felt exploitative).

I’m coming in way late on this, so I’ll probably get lost in the grays, but: I’ve never seen the original film, but I can totally get why people are upset that something they enjoy might not get the adaptation they wanted, or something that’s close to the standard the original was.

It started off fun, with flirty messages, the girls kissing, gradually taking an article of clothing off here and there. It was less fun the obviously

You mean this beacon of bright ideas and integrity?

I don’t have anybody to play Monopoly with. Too bad, because that T-Rex is dope.

This is a really fucked up comment on multiple levels.

Also, as far as sex in storytelling, it is a thing. You have a spy who is a hardcore killer but also deals with real human emotions, like attraction (it’s already established that she has/had a relationship with a deceased man). She meets another agent, they hit it off, they have sex. James Bond does it. Kudos to

This might have already been stated, but Charlize Theron has been nude on film before (Devil’s Advocate is what comes to mind). Certain stories have sex in them, and some people are more comfortable in the level of portrayal they’re willing to levy to create that story. So, if she feels comfortable with her body and

I was surprised that people would tune in to watch others play Hearthstone for about ten seconds before remembering how many hours I’ve spent watching televised poker.
