No, I haven't. My comment was more about how the story was described than about the quality of the story itself.

The story sounds a little contrived (I haven't read it), but Villeneuve is one of the few truly visionary filmmakers working on mainstream/Hollywood productions right now.

Slappin' 2: Electric Slapaloo

On a totally unrelated note, it's easy to see just from this scene why Linklater lost Best Director to Innaritu. Every shot in this scene is flat, with totally uninspired framing. I say this as someone with the utmost respect for some of the work Linklater has done in his career, but if you watched just this scene…

In fairness to Congress and the UN, judging by 'Safety Not Guaranteed' and the 'Jurassic World' trailers, I'm not sure the phrase should be associated with Trevorrow, either.

Ellie Kemper is just as cute as pie, but I'm not sold on this premise.

You mean there's actual music on the soundtrack? I'm disappointed—I came here for a 60-minute compilation of grunting, yelping, and shitty dialogue.

No film that has anything to do with the UN, or political entities in general, should ever be named "Intelligent Life".

So what you're saying is the overuse of 'problematic' is….problematic.

When you mock the New Testament God, don't be surprised when the Old Testament God shows up to give you a warning smite.

Honestly the most offensive thing about the scene is that Ernesto equates success with being the assistant manager of what looks at best like a three star restaurant.

You're right, it wasn't The Blind Side, most notably because the basic framework of the story in The Blind Side ACTUALLY HAPPENED.

This entire season felt like it was ghostwritten by Michael Haneke—the twirling-mustache villainy that made the first two seasons so fun wiped completely away, replaced by an interminable, frustrating march towards stick-in-the-eye nihilism. None more so than in the case of Doug, whose miraculous resurrection in the…

Look, Ellen Degeneres proved last year that even a modicum of affability can overcome the awfulness of corny one-liners, so let's not be so quick to let NPH off the hook here.

I think Blomkamp tells great stories, but I don't think he's a very good screenwriter.

Yeah, Raylan doesn't have a lot of friends. Reminds me of the scene in LA Confidential where the gossip mag editor is found murdered and a cop quips, "We've got it narrowed down to about a thousand suspects."

I wasn't suggesting that Fincher or Jeunet butchered the films, but that they had their films butchered.

Pretty sure Raylan didn't expect Markham to be at the office.

You weren't imagining the accent, it definitely slipped. I feel like Dahl kept that take because Goggins nailed it so hard otherwise.

As long as they don't let Neill write the script or Sigourney interfere with the production it will almost certainly be a step up from Fincher and Jeunet's butchered sequels.
