You joke, but I can actually envision an art film that combines the two. There are interesting associations you can make: mid-20th-century industrial-capitalist America, toxicity (chemicals, sexist gender norms), Bikini Atoll! It could work.

Complete opposites in every respect? Nah. They’re both big-budget narrative studio movies with huge stars and a focus on spectacle. We’re not comparing Barbie to Michael Snow’s Wavelength here.

To be fair to the “writers” here that was obviously facetious.

“He’s got the voice of an angel and the toes of... I don’t know what toes.”

Definitely a benchmark for the surrealist “everything goes wrong” subgenre, seemingly influencing the vibe of everything from the Coens’ A Serious Man to the Safdies’ Uncut Gems and Ari Aster’s Beau is Afraid.

This site has been beating the drum so hard for this movie its hands are bloody pulps by now.

It’s not precise, because “recording” doesn’t specify whether it’s audio or visuals being recorded. You could say “shooting.” Or you could just say “filming” because everyone knows what it means.

Did everyone here miss all the palm trees and other tropical plants all around the campus? I thought they were in Arizona or Texas or someplace. There’s no way this was shot in New York.

Pedantic. We still call them films even though most are shot digitally.

Great, now bring these awards back to the telecast, you cowards.

Yeah, that was lazy. Her death was also a reference to earlier dialogue about the killer taking advantage of all the rivers and deep inlets of the territory to hide bodies. So, tragic irony, and a convenient out.

This was solid, then the Mazey Day episode made pretty much the same point about the exploitation and commodification of trauma by the media, but with a really risible plot twist.

Probably, considering he was the sole credited director on their films until... *checks notes* The Ladykillers...

I would prefer a biopic of Technotronic and the creation of the #1 techno hit “Pump Up the Jam.”

“Everybody wants people to be who they want them to be,” Jackson says of Larson’s naysayers. “She is who she is, and she’s genuinely that.”

Yes, something inherent in his personality, like extreme egomania.

Most schools are out. Don’t know where you live.

“we may be in for many more sequels. Which is fine, as long as they’re loaded with original ideas, compelling characters, and smart stories.”

I don’t disagree based on the trailer, but most critics’ reviews have singled out the animation as being beautiful, so maybe it looks better in the context of seeing the whole film on the big screen? In any case, I don’t think anything this year could look as hideous as that DreamWorks kraken thing.
