But now where can I go to find gratuitously negative one-liners about shit I don't care about?
What do you MEAN "literally anywhere"!?!

People say the same thing about "The Big Bang Theory".

Oh, I can't claim that level of bravery. I only know it from the video review on Ebert Presents.

It's a pretty common story convention for disfigured characters to be given a blind buddy and/or love interest. To name two more, Francis "Red Dragon" Dolarhyde had Reba & in that movie "Beastly" Alex Pettyfer had blind Neil Patrick Harris as his quirky tutor.

Jackie Chan worked with Lee on "Enter the Dragon" (he's one of the mooks who gets his face bashed in during the brawl in the basement) and by all accounts they got along well… Chan has often told a story of how Lee accidentally bashed him in the head for real with nunchucks, then as soon as the director called "cut"…

Nope, the big twist is that the whole series turns out to be… An prestige drama based on Wesley's career!

It becomes disjointed because there's no sense of rhythm to the trailer's construction. You're right.. it SHOULD work beautifully, but the two parts seem to be intercut at random so there's no sense of balance or irony.

Please don't. There are too many memes here as it is.

That's got to be one of the most disjointed trailers I've seen in a while. If it was just the domestic stuff or just the oil rig stuff it could have made for an effective teaser, but shuffling the scenes together like this just feels sloppy.
Also, the fact that we'll be getting another fact-based Wahl/Berg joint later…

That's the thing about the internet… When you think you've come up with a brilliant one-liner, it's very likely that literally a million other people have already made it.

Because it's SO much more legitimate to preemptively dismiss a movie because the story is arguably "baity" (God I hate that term)

I'm no Adam Sandler fan, but somehow this movie has gone COMPLETELY past my radar. I typically have some idea when he's doing something. Is this one of the perks of his Netflix contract? Nobody even has to know he's made another movie until shortly before its release?

I wonder when the trend will start to eat itself and we get a antihero cable drama about the rise of antihero cable dramas:

I'd love to watch the pilots for prestige dramas rejected by HBO, like The Miraculous Year (dir. Kathryn Bigelow) The Corrections (dir. Noah Baumbach) and Codes of Conduct (dir. Steve McQueen)

Yeah, it feels like every episode since the pilot could have been the second episode of the season. There's zero sense of forward momentum in the story, and the characters and music aren't interesting enough to carry the series on their own.

I'm wondering if that will still be the case. I'm reminded of the ending of "The Revenant" and how much it rubbed me the wrong way. We're supposed to consider it a big moment when (Spoilers!) Hugh Glass chooses not to kill Fitzgerald, but considering the brutality of the fight up to then, it seems pretty disingenuous…

"Okay, so we made a new adaptation of "Ben-Hur: a Tale of the Christ". How should we market it?"
"BLOOD! GUTS! BRUTALITY ! REVENGE"
"what about … the Christ?"

Yeah… "Hannibal" was able to outdo "Criminal Minds" by being unambiguously a horror series right from the start, while "Criminal Minds" sees itself as a smart, slick crime procedural, which makes the use of horror elements all the more icky and exploitative.

I've suspected this from the beginning, but I'm now almost entirely convinced: James Jagger's character will be dead by the end of the season. The show has made a point to show his drug of choice is Heroin, and I don't think they'd do that unless they were setting up an OD. After all, in TV/Movie land, cocaine is fun,…

"my point is true because I say it's true" is not a valid argument.
Nolan basically has carte blanche to make movies the way he wants to. If he casts a certain actor, it's because he decided they would be good in the role.
