I like goofy, stupid shit as much as the next guy but Face/Off for me went so far off the rails in the wrong direction that it wasn't enjoyable. I'm not coming from a place of snobbishness or a lack of whimsy or whatever you're saying. It actively gives me a headache when I try to watch it. It gives me more of one…

The fact that Face/Off is even on this list is offensive. It's ill-conceived on every level, and completely baffling. The action is muddled at best (not a pageant of balletic exercise; it's not balletic because Woo shoves doves or ironic soundtrack choices into a shitty gunfight), the script doesn't make sense from…

Funkadelic's Maggot Brain is pretty stunning every damn time I listen to it. Just a one take, 9 minute guitar solo that never once wears out it's welcome.

Yes! That scene is a perfect example of those tonal shifts working against all odds. That scene is among the most terrifying moments in Lynch's oeuvre, but almost all of that character's scenes prior were bizarrely playful and funny.

Man Willem Dafoe's Bobby Peru is the stuff of nightmares. Few onscreen villains make me feel as instantly sick just on sight alone.

Probably because those are the characters the general CBS-watching public are most familiar with, and it draws a clear connection to that successful IP while paving the way for audiences to accept new characters set in that universe?

I think it's a fine film with a poorly realized script. I wouldn't call it hilariously bad, even though I walked out of the theater confused and angry and didn't return to it for a few years.

Finally watched this. I feel like this premiere was hinting at a potentially great show, but got bogged down by flat and uninspired directing, as well as overstuffed plotting. It kept shifting points of view, so eager to establish the universe that it never gave us a throughline to follow from beginning to end.

Yeah Jim, the dog is getting old so basic courtesies like not brazenly farting all over the place just go out the window. I find myself treasuring these weird behaviors though. Soon enough they'll stop, the dog will be gone, and I'll occupy rooms that, while fart free, are curiously still and barren of petty…

Oh sorry Jim. That wasn't directed towards you. My dog just farted and it was real gross. How are you man? What have you been up to?

ew

The Wolverine is also gorgeous looking from start to finish (Ross Emery take a bow). I probably had more fun with Deadpool, but the visuals had that washed out grey/tan color palette that made it look like a CW show. Kind of left a bad taste in my mouth.

Is there a ton of beloved entertainment worth despising? Maybe. I feel like this question speaks more to your disdain for something's fans than the piece itself. People build towers and others knock them down.

Ehh honestly on a surface level sure, it's a little bit like Snowpiercer or other class warfare dystopia of that ilk. That's sort of where the similarities end though, because the experience of watching High Rise is more like watching someone's darkly comical fever dream rather than a movie with a plot and characters…

Just about everything Nichols has done is well observed, disciplined and engaging; I just usually don't realize it as I'm watching. His movies sneak up on you, and linger after they're over.

One of my favorite moments had to be Jon Stewart calling 'Walk the Line' "'Ray' with white people" in his opening monologue.

Really glad to see the show recommitting to Charlie being a dangerous, deranged mess. He was getting a little too sane compared to the rest of the gang in recent years.

It's really saying something about the development of Dennis' focused insanity that I trust Frank's senile insanity way more with a firearm.

I am by no means a huge Rob Zombie fan, and would even say his best films are still middling efforts, but I still admire that effort. I don't think that he makes lazy films.
