What a fucking blowhard

What you show is around the world minus 3000 miles.

Yeah, and flights costs more than double what they do now.

For context: a cross-country economy-class ticket before deregulation cost $1,600

“as shitty and expensive as they please.”

Dune is not a bad movie, so fuck right off with that horseshit.

...the market created by tentpole blockbusters has specifically shouldered out the mid-range budget and overshadowed the independent/arthouse market. The economic effect of these movies is making it harder for the auteurs.

I mean, I’m as weary of facile political takes in cultural discussion as anyone, but it seems silly to fault the reviewer for engaging with the class issues that this particular film explicitly raises. What, do people think the filmmakers changed the home invaders from a pair of dirty career criminals to a struggling n…

How they’re going to mail you a warning/ticket if your license isn’t visible is an interesting paradox.

This is not the kind of thing people cry “cancel culture” over. 

Twitter != Real World

“As long as you’re not a ham-fisted moron,...”

it’s because all their movies are generic as fuck, no matter what people might tell you with “but what about taika? gunn?..” they all play out the same, with the same beats, quips and muted color palette and the same CG clusterfuck in the third act where the whole movie falls apart.

When I used to play the top-down GTA’s, I said aloud to my friends: “The day they make a 3rd person GTA, games will be changed forever.”

You joke , but I played the game a lot , and a few years later saw the film, and its weird , as theres several scenes in the movie that give me a ‘holy crap! I know that place!!’ vibe* I'm guessing Rare had access to a LOT of set photos.

...continuity...

Skyfall failed miserably for me because it almost immediately ditches the entire mission statement of Casino Royale. It goes from “here’s a new beginning for a new young Bond!” in Casino/Quantum (they’re pretty much one movie since Quantum starts seconds after Casino ends) to “Bond has been doing this too long and is…

The idea that Bond was a codename was always a flimsy fan theory at best because there’s no direct evidence for it in any of the movies or the novels. A character being the same guy played by different actors over time is par for the course with long running franchises.

The “James Bond is just a code name” theory is just a bunch of hooey. While the George Lazenby film does reference “the other fellow” and Blofeld doesn’t recognize him, Roger Moore Bond mourns Lazenby’s wife on multiple occasions. Pierce Brosnan references the Dalton M. The same rough origin story - orphan whose…

Can you...not do that? A cursory search of current public health orders for LA County doesn’t turn up any restrictions on private gatherings.
