But why shut up that when he can make himself an expert through the power of imagination???

Oh, wow! That’s not just a mispronunciation; that’s flat-out saying the wrong name!

How does one mispronounce Maya Rudolph’s name? First and last are both pretty common, and use the “standard” spellings/pronunciations.

At this point, it’s much easier to delete than it was at the time. She can just select the individual songs and choose “delete track.”

Going into the new trilogy, one of my major concerns was that none of the storytellers would be able to step back and look at the legacy characters objectively in order to tell fresh stories about them, but would instead be blinded by a sense of reverence (and, honestly, if you’d given me the budget and said “go make…

Are you sure that’s not just a vocal minority?

I think in general people assume that you don’t like it because it doesn’t line up to your image of Star Wars and your conception of its characters - which can certainly be confusing at times to those of us for whom it lines up extremely well to our image of Star Wars and our conception of its characters. It’s only…

“X” is a self-applied rating. The board would have given it an NC-17.

He invites them to “imagine” it, but he doesn’t actually suggest what he thinks they might say. Almost like he has literally no argument to make here at all.

I liked what I’ve read of the comics, and found the visual style of the movie appealing, but Michael Cera can ruin anything.

It’s also a bit naive to suggest that most big-budget Hollywood filmmaking hasn’t been incredibly piecemeal for decades.

I think you’re underestimating the queer subtexts in a lot of 80s horror movies. Where Hellraiser stands out is more for the sophistication with which it handled that subtext.

EDIT: Just realized that you specified franchises, which is a narrower field. I was thinking 80s horror in general.

I mean, it’s a theme that Lucio Fulci and Lamberto Bava each toughed on very slightly, but this does seem to commit to the connection a lot more thoroughly.

Maybe that was his endgame all along...

Rope is not presented as one continuous take. Although most of the necessary edits are hidden by having the camera pass behind dark objects, there are, I believe, 4 edits which are undisguised. I can’t remember them all off the top of my head, but I do remember that at the beginning there’s cut from exterior to…

Sally Hardesty in Texas Chainsaw also predates Laurie Strode.

Subverting the subversion!

Yeah, it was the first Ultra series, prior to the introduction of the giant superhero component.
