Marvel's Jimmy Carter

You do realize Jim isn't a real person, right? The writers have not lived in isolation for a year either.

High Rise is worth watching. It definitely feels like a 60s-70s story but it works quite well due to its weirdness and absurdity. Hiddleston is good in the role, the costumes and sets are great…

Hacksaw Ridge was rote and cliché and had Andrew Garfield doing the worst accent he could but despite a full hour of the worst kind of gore, because it played totally straight, with no irony or sarcasm, it ended up feeling kind of (dare I say it?) heartwarming.

To add to the voice of girls everywhere who didn't enjoy LaLa Land: I thought the dances and songs were okay but I definitely agree this is a musical for people who don't usually watch musicals and don't know what can be expected from a true "wow" number.

The fact that's it's done on purpose just makes it more irritating. I guess it makes sense, since it's more off-key and dissonent during scenes where characters disagree, but it drives me crazy nonetheless.

Umbrellas of Cherbourg has a great plot but damn, that constant off-tune singing…

The thing is the characters in TFA don't have a lot more time to build relationships than those in RO. The relationships just gel better because they're archetypes.

As much as I love Rian Johnson, I share your fears, mostly because his movies so far have never been really original.

Rogue One turned out ok. The beginning of the movie with Saw Guerrera is a mess as well and shows traces of reshoots (or at least major cuts) as well.

Thanks! (I realized afterwards that "Marvel's President Carter" would have been even more appropriate but what can you do.)

"Entolini had to leave Italy after comments made by his 12-year-old wife". It's paraphrased but it's one of the best line, because the scandal isn't that he's married to a 12-year-old but that she talked. It's perfect.

It's as if Matt Smith doesn't want to play a magical man full of wonder who sometimes goes in a box that's bigger on the inside anymore.

The Dark Mage is Michael Jordan.

I would have been all over that Harry Potter themed lemon party but my boner disappeared the moment they cast Johnny Depp as Grindelwald.

They're both so melancholy, though. I love Howard's End but I cried so hard I never want to see that movie again

I'm partial to the Turkish bath scene and the whole hotel sequence, for my part, but La grande vadrouille is generally hilarious.

By "Paris douche", you mean any French speaker outside of Canada, meaning around 70 million people in France and anoher larger number in Africa?

Ten years from now people will watch Apocalypse just to mock it in their film podcast.

The issue is that the main character of Captain America Civil War became Iron Man, leaving no time to build the Bucky-Cap relationship which is supposed to drive the whole plot.

Fair criticism. Abrams is great at building action sequences and keeping the movie in motion, but doesn't leave any breathing time to flesh out the relationships between characters. Lin is only okay at action but great at giving an ensemble cast their time to shine. For me Trek is at its core about characters rather
