Yes, sir. Can't you tell? Action-y camera angles, outsized emotions, and it doesn't make sense! (Just spit the food out, dude! :) )

That commercial might be the best thing Michael Bay ever made.

Number 3, especially. Lin-Manuel Miranda is the most charming man alive.

That's definitely part of it, but the other part has to be the collective cry from the Broadway community of, "LOOK, WE'RE COOL NOW, RIGHT?? RIGHT???" I mean, it's all they've got, really. (And I love musicals.)

Ex. 1: The daily HAMILTON articles on BroadwayWorld.com. I like the show, but good Lord.

(laughs) "Good! You're finally acting like a man."

When Robin Williams died, JUMANJI was the movie I watched.

EVEN THE PELICAN LOOKS LIKE A DEMON FROM HELL

"Do you know what happened to this factory?"
"…Yeah, it dried up. Like everything else around here."

Oh, it's definitely extremely well-directed, and the art direction and effects are amazing. It's just the kind of movie I can't appreciate: I can't remember the last movie that was wall-to-wall action sequences (or wall-to-wall visuals, like GRAVITY), and nothing much else, that I enjoyed. It also doesn't help that I

Haven't seen JOY, but I've never understood the idea that Lawrence is too young for some of her roles. Some people criticized SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK for that, but a real talent she has is her ability to seem a lot older than she actually is.

As someone who really disliked MAD MAX, I keep thinking: The people who are mad because STAR WARS didn't get in? Get over yourselves: MAD MAX got ten nominations!

I bet it'll be Rooney Mara for Supporting.

To be fair, "Earned It" from FIFTY SHADES is actually very good: it works well as a creepy, not-sexy, possibly-violent love song. Also, dig those cellos!

ANAKIN CHANCELLOR PALPATINE IS EVIL

As long as every character hates her, doesn't matter.

Because that's obviously a cinematic experience. You know, like GRAVITY, you clod.

"But traitors just get jeers and boos
Not visits to their graves
While Lincoln, who got mixed reviews
Because of you, John, now gets only raves!"

One was, in fact, the Deconstructionist.
