“This thing is a monument to its self importance.”

And where’s out The Abyss Blu Ray Collector’s Edition?

Wait, this movie isn’t about the housing market crash?

In addition to what everybody is pointing out: this fake thing was put in to disparage this real person and turn her into more of a villain, it also kind of underlines the Trump view of the world that because he doesn’t have any technical skill or mastery nobody does and everybody is faking it. This comes through when…

Brave by Marillion. So concept that the vinyl edition has a dual groove for the last track that completely changes how it ends depending on the whim of the needle.

Well, I’ve seen The Irishman and she’s fucking great in it: the moral centre of the film, in fact. (And it’s an incredible film, Scorsese’s best in more than two decades.) And while I don’t like The Piano much, I have to acknowledge that Paquin’s pretty terrific in that, too.

This idiotic idea that the number of lines in a script is somehow a metric of how much the director “values women” has got to be the dumbest fucking line of reasoning I’ve ever heard in my life.

Not to mention that even when torture and other crimes have been exposed in the past, two things happen: 1) the higher-ups work overtime to make sure those crimes are contained as the work of a few rogue agents, and 2) the news cycle makes it a thing of the past relatively quickly.

Counterpoint- a lot of Americans don’t actually know about these questionable activities, and this is why journalists, investigators and the media must work overtime and bend over backwards to shed light on them. There is a reason why classified materials exist, and it’s a convenient cover for a lot of nonsense…

Hey, I got a camera on my iPhone, so I’m frickin Ansel Adams. I can do movies, so outta my way Orson. 

I like that scene. One dog goes one way, the other goes the other way, and this guy’s like ‘Whattaya want from me?’

It was fully, unambiguously, Lynch messing with the fans because he finds them annoying. A Freddie Got Fingered-style trolling exercise, if you will. And a place to stick unrelated odds and ends of ideas he had hanging around (which then didn’t actively relate to the rest of the show in any way) and feature some bands…

Season 2 gets a bad wrap, but it really isn’t that bad imo. The first half of Season 2 is amazing. The final sequences Episode 14 is probably better than anything in the first season. Everything up to about Episode 16 is pretty much fine (a few hit and miss, but mostly gold). Then there’s a bad stretch for maybe 6…

I especially hated the Dougie stuff that just went on and on and on. Anything involving Dougie was horrible. I think I only liked the first couple episodes, the weird mythology episode, and maybe the last couple episodes.

>> It’s important to note at the outset that Peaks creator and director David Lynch hasn’t ruled out a fourth season, despite the apparently conclusive nature of The Return.

[A Mystery Man approaches]

The last 10 minutes of Captain Phillips are among the best acting of the last 10 years.

Tom Hanks as a murderous assassin? I'm in. In fact let's remake all his feel good genre movies with him being murderous instead. Big will be horrifying in so many ways. 

I Heard You Fish Shrimp

I’m still stuck seeing her as Zoe Bartlett, even twenty years on.
