Of course you, a cisgen white male, would say that!

Wilmore is a more likeable human than Maher, but Maher's show is better. It talks with a lot of knowledgeable people and goes deeper on issues than The Nightly Show has time to, and without towing the line as much.

The problem is it was too close to The Daily Show. Watching them back-to-back was tiresome as they usually covered the same stories.

I'm not sure you're allowed to use "pop culture" as a singular noun in that context, headline writer, but anyway, I liked Mars Attacks!.

No. It's a rather pure De Palma film, and is the best of its franchise. Actually, compared to most summer action tentpoles, it practically feels like a European art film.

The Beavis and Butt-head movie is fun enough, but is fairly watered down from the TV series its derived from, moreso than Brain Candy, which had less trouble expanding its premise to feature length and went to the shocking places that made its brand a hit.

He's not always a black-and-white thinker. Letters From Iwo Jima is one of his smarter movies and is actually tasteful.

He's probably politically more nuanced than a lot of right-wingers (Unforgiven for instance is about the human toll of revenge, but think about what audience needs to actually hear this message), but if you watch his movies it's apparent where his allegiances lie. I remember when Million Dollar Baby came out, a friend

I really like it, too. At the time of its release, indie and mainstream movie fans were more divided, so most couldn't abide that it was making fun of both of them.

Yeah, it's tempting to want to hate the Hairspray remake, but it's the best feature film musical in a really long time.

I think that's partly the reason, but mainstream movies stopped having nudity by the turn of the millennium, before internet porn addictions really took over. When Swordfish came out in 2001, most of the news articles were about Halle Berry taking her top off. Big stars showing skin had already sunk into novelty.

The internet ruined Werner Herzog by meme-ifying the awesomeness of a great filmmaker, like he's the new Chuck Norris Joke. Afterwards, they did the same thing to Nicolas Cage.

Actually, everyone in this section who disliked it explained pretty well what they disliked about it. If you want to defend the movie without just being a total dick, you're welcome to do so. Then again, who cares?

No, it's the section where we reply to articulate reasoning and analysis by claiming our pro-consensus douche-cred.

I don't understand this shirt. I blame the designer's poor understanding of jokes, ineffectual incorporation of irony, and failure to design an appealing shirt.

MULAN was actually a 1998 movie. Which means, despite his use of the sign-of-an-annoying-idiot term "me thinks," he was at least using it before Jar-Jar Binks popularized it a year later.

We've had ideas for sequels, but despite its fans, the first movie still hasn't turned a profit. You'd think with the success of the live-action Jungle Book, Sony would want to take things to the next level and explore the wilderness of Planet Starclaw!

Thank you! Spent two years developing that story and writing that script with JK. I wish it had been better distributed, but I'm super proud of it.

I worked with Cook on Detention. He was a cool guy, and a versatile, funny actor.

Feig is a network-TV level director. There's stuff in SPY that's really hackneyed, and revealed how little visual sense most film critics have. I think GHOSTBUSTERS is his best-looking movie, but only in specific places, probably because the pressure of making such a big movie and having to navigate around so many
