I love the Driver, but please don't let this be the Walter Hill delegate. I know the film was something new and unfortunately influenced movies like Fast and Furious and positively like Ronin. But Hill was so much better with Warriors, SoCo, 48 Hrs, Streets of Fire!, Extreme Prejudice. And I know I gotta wait a while,…

Dark Star fits your description. The only classic Carpenter movie I don't like. Napoleon Wilson is a top 10 all-time movie character, joined by Mr. Jack Burton ("Me!"). The soundtrack is amazing. It's got a Decline of Western Civilization/ LA Mixed Blood aesthetic. It is very funny throughout. Stoker is really good,…

Sully was only early 50ish in the book right? So 23 years later isn't a great stretch, but I can't distinguish Sully and Paul Newman's performance. Newman was 68 in the movie and 91 just doesn't seem feasible or interesting.

Ambiguous question. Sneaking into Pulp Fiction when I was ten years old has to be the seminal theater going experience of my life. Some crowded film fests were fun. Jurassic Park, Superbad, 2001, SW rereleases, Wild Bunch, Mulholland Dr, Vertigo, T2 (as a 7 yr old), Bad LT port of call, LOTR midnight screenings,etc…

I defended something silly and trivial and I was accused of being "angry," because I didn't see where all the vitriol was coming from. I'm a huge MST3K fan, Cinemasins is just a truncated, and by no means as good, version of loving film-nerd derision. I mean what's the difference between Manos or Mitchell, and My Big…

Don't you Warren Oates me. Your argument is essentially calling someone defensive after attacking them. How do you respond without being defensive? Are critics being "judgmental" when critiquing media? Lazy.

I think they were reverent to Mad Max and It Follows, acknowledging that they were both great movies, but here's there schtick. They did it probably because they were the most requested. The series is tongue-in-cheek. Some are better than others, and usually, the shittier, more populist, bland the film is, the better…

Jesus Christ was this interminable. Cinema Sins has never been confused for serious criticism. 80%+ of the movies they review are garbage. They mock the movies and themselves. This was akin to Sean Penn saying, "Jude Law is one of our most talented actors," in response to some gentle ribbing from Chris Rock. Lighten…

How did Chuck sabotage him for years? Jimmy can be blinded into thinking people are better than reality suggests, but that whole scene was telegraphed and unconvincing. The way he explicitly and directly admits his guilt and incriminates Kim was absurd. All to stop an old, all-but-retired lawyer from quitting a…

Think they'll ever return to Chuck's apocryphal story about Jimmy shorting the till? Is Kim ever going to mention this to Jimmy, maybe when the recording rears its ugly head? I think the story is misguided bullshit, Chuck just assuming the worst. I mean Jimmy cons greedy and dishonest people. What about his character…

I see Chuck as pretty damn one dimensional. He is pedantic to a T. Has held a grudge against his brother forever. Pious. Self-righteous. He is sick and in physical pain, but that has nothing to do with emotion or characterization. There is no conflict for him like there is with Jimmy and Kim. I think Howard is more…

Wouldn't call it tedious, but Jimmy totally broke from character this week and turned into an out-and-out dummy sucker.

Gotta say some great direction and tension throughout, but I'm not buying the confession ex machina at all. Chuck should not be practicing law. He is nuts. For Jimmy, a smart guy, not to recognize he's being played and whole heartedly confess for no other reason than to assuage Chuck's ego? Bullshit. Jimmy had won,…

2nd? Time Jessa has been compared physically to Brigitte Bardot. Um…Jessa is beautiful, but Bardot, is essentially from another planet. And considering her stature in film (very slight) and in public (hermetic), why would young people (male and female) draw comparisons to her? You might as well describe Adam as Rock…

The Limey, "You tell him I'm coming! Tell him I'm FUCKIN cummmmmmin."

Bad Santa waking up to an alarm clock. John Goodman standing up to some cowardly nihilists.

That license plate tin DVD edition with soundtrack was pretty badass too. Kept my drugs in there under the discs for several years. Damn you burglars to hell!

Eat that Lubezki! I knew there had to be another common denominator besides Stanton with this and Paris, Texas.

"Fuck that," is a top ten all-time line. So universal.

I think the ending to "Virgin" solidifies its greatness. Youth in Revolt was pretty good too, even though the book is a million times better.
