Yeah, them girly girls don't have the smarts to be interested in sophisticated stuff like world history or Nolan movies!

If Andy Griffith had his way, Mayberry would have been fully integrated, with black actors having prominent roles. Unfortunately, the studio heads nixed the idea because they didn't want Southern TV stations to boycott the show,

The best answer I've heard is that the real artists are forced out because they ask too many questions (see: reactions to movies like "The Last Temptation of Christ" and "Noah"), so we're left with dull movies that are literally intended to preach to the choir.

But that's only when he was sober… when he got drunk, be became a rude and forward lech. It's two stereotypes in one!

When this was announced years ago with Bruce Wills and Chris Hemsworth attached to the leads I wanted to read the book immediately (Vince Flynn being a fellow Minnesotan and all), but then I saw he was an ultra-conservative who often appeared on Glenn Beck's radio show, and I went straight to "fuck that!"

The fact that so many commentators here are being so instantly defensive about the rigging (and derisive use of the term "bro") says at least as much about the average AV Club commentator as it does about the article.

I'm a regular poster there, and if you find the right boards, it's not terrible.
But this article also offers a possible insight into why the moderators are so incredibly incompetent : more trolls & sockpuppets = more clicks = more ad revenue.

Yup, the ending has Robert Pattison going to his Dad's office to reconcile, his Dad's office is in the WTC, and guess what day it is?

…and as we ALL know, you're only allowed to tell a story once!

I love how people are automatically assuming this is a purely cynical or mercantile decision, as if there were no chance that filmmakers like Bennett Miller, Tom Stoppard, and Megan Ellison would take on this material because they had a good idea on how to do it.

I assume he's referring to that screenplay "The Virginian" that somehow ended up on the Black List. When I read it, I pictured a director known for slick modern action pictures taking it on, but I was thinking more Justin Lin, given ZS is so busy with Justice League.

In his "Bridge of Spies" q&a with Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg had a great story of when he had Kirk Douglas over for dinner and they decided to mess around with a biofeedback reader that Spielberg had recently bought. No matter what Spielberg or his girlfriend asked Douglas, his reading was always rock steady,…

Off topic, but it's been 24 hours since the story broke and it still hasn't shown up here…

Maybe it's because I know next to nothing about music, but I'm frustrated by how ambiguous Ritchie's tastes in music seem to be. I mean, I know you can't quantify art, but I'd like him to be a bit more specific in terms of what he's looking for than "Rock & Roll, man!"

GDT made it clear on twitter that he plans to incorporate Gammell's imagery into the movie. What context isn't as clear, but animation (or even stop-motion!) would be really cool.

Hell yeah. Few things have shaken me more than the final line of that story.

I have. In fact, I've been on the receiving end of content. reports myself on a large number of occasions. I know what's going on.

The primary reason why I stopped watching Doug Walker was because I realized he had no qualms about lying, taking stuff out of context, or just not doing research in order to make a point or cheap joke.
If I can't trust him to represent his material honestly, why should I trust him about this?

Two Jeff Nichols movies… 2016 is already an embarrassment of riches! How cool must it be for him to premiere his first studio movie to really good reviews, and then sell his next indie in a multi-million dollar distribution deal the next day?

I'm sure everyone who is part of the backlash will say the movie is "legitimately overrated". That doesn't mean it isn't a backlash.
