Amen. The Master is not a great movie. It's probably not even a good movie. It's dull, plot-less, and without any overarching theme or character arc. Phoenix did a great job, but was 20 years too old for the part. Hoffman was fine but wasn't exactly stretching his range. Watching them play off each other was the…

Gone Girl is going to stick I think. And we'll be talking about The Interview hoopla for decades.

Could this be set in LA and basically be a spin-off for Curtis's Training Day character? Because that would be awesome.

Someone should tell Ryan Murphy that fathers (even white middle-class fathers) were not allowed to multilate and sell their daughters to circuses in the 1950s. Is there any reasonable reason why Lee Turgeson's character isn't in jail right now?

You've pinpointed the innate weakness of this show and its premise. The idea that there is any nobility in cable news is absurd. Cable news is entertainment. Nothing more or less. People who rely on cable news to form political opinions, economic decisions, or anything else of a serious nature is a fool.

Um, he isn't wrong. Ancient Egyptians weren't black-skinned. We have enough problems without manufactured controversy.

The first part of the miniseries was fantastic. The other three were never able to match it which is why it doesn't get the respect it deserves. Though I am a sucker for the apocalypse.

Is George Zimmerman suddenly an authority figure? And there was never an allegation that Trayvon Martin grabbed for a gun, just the (false) allegation that he was smashing Zimmerman's head against the ground (disproven by police department surveillance video).
I do not understand why people believe either Wilson or…

If they did it in the morning, everyone would talk about it all day. In the evening, everyone gets to digest it and it's already becoming old news in the morning.

Can you think of the last widespread outrage over a same-race police brutality case? They happen every single day, but people just don't seem to care.

I can't help but think that people have missed the point of this case and the Trayvon Martin case. The point isn't that black men can be gunned down with impunity (though they can). It's that the police (or sons of judges) can gun down *anyone* without power with impunity. We tend only to notice it when the case is…

Wow, I had absolutely no idea they were that old.

"Walton Goggins as the good old boy who beats up Nick Andros" just seems like a sure thing.

I will always give Jamey Sheridan a ton of credit. For being so obviously and completely miscast, he really did do a great job.

Flagg - Matthew McConaughey
Lloyd - Michael Shannon
Frannie - Anna Kendrick
Harold - Clark Duke
Nick Andros - Michael B. Jordan
Larry Underwood - Norman Reedus
Nadine - Christina Ricci
Trashcan Man - Michael Cera, shaved
Stu - Chris Pratt

Jon Hamm with a British accent, duh.

I've seen movies miss the point of the source material. But nothing will ever come close to the abomination that was that movie.

We're living it.

Only way to make it any good would be to play it realistic. The problem with 1984, Brave New World, and Fahrenheit 451 is that they're science fiction. They're in the future. No one believes they're possible.
You'd need to make everything almost exactly like it is today, just a little worse. Brazil toed that line…

"Big Brother isn’t watching. He’s singing and dancing. He’s pulling rabbits out of a hat. Big Brother’s busy holding your attention every moment you’re awake. He's making sure you're always distracted. He's making sure you're fully absorbed. He's making sure your imagination withers. Until it's as useful as your…
