There's plenty of humor in Zodiac though, it's just in a film suffuse with bleakness. The duos of Robert Downey Jr. (and his whole performance in general) & Jake Gyllenhaal/Anthony Edwards & Mark Ruffalo had great witty chemistry.

Are you wearing that as some sort of badge of honor or something? Is it evasion or that you just haven't seen it?

This is what's wrong with Chris Nolan now. He's become too financially successful that even with huge budgets the studio doesn't give him any push back creatively. They let him write a movie with his brother, and produce it himself along with his wife. Maybe they aren't yes men exactly, but there's no one there who…

And Sorkin wanted to make this one himself. Shudder.

This. While people still deride it as being about Facebook, it's really about clashing personalities and seduction of success destroying relationships. Not to mention it's a pretty great take on the unreliable narrator trope through multiple points of view. Like a litigation Rashomon.

You know, most things don't merit a documentary, no matter how much they entertained you in middle school. Wikipedia is all most things need. If Wikipedia turns you down, then you know your topic of choice certainly isn't relevant enough for a film.

"and Gavin James (presumably King Of Queens actor Kevin James, but pronounced by an Australian)"
Yes, because Gavin is such an unusual name that it begged for a shoehorned joke. I'm starting to think that Newswire shouldn't bother attempting snark when O'Neal isn't writing.

I thought this was being made by JC Chandor? It was a bad idea then but at least it was from someone halfway creative. Peter Berg, a Carnahan, a Wahlberg, and this story we all saw play out in front of us? Just stop, along with any movies about Benghazi or other lightning rod recent stories. Too many imbeciles watch…

Ditto for Inside Llewyn Davis.

Anthony Mackie: good.
Biography movies: bad.
Inspirational sports movies: bad.
Disney inspirational sports movies: really bad.

That's because despite the marketing it really wasn't all that successful.

Is this really a problem? Big movies open on so many screens it's always possible to walk up night of for me, with the exception of the real IMAX theaters around here which require buying in advance for the first weekend.

If this was a different business model than the peer to peer sales they normally engage in, where leftover inventory is sold at less than regular price at the last minute and the theater and stubhub split the profit I could see it working. But then it would also lower people's perception of acceptable prices and…

That's more of a problem because of straight resellers than it is peer to peer like StubHub. Though I suppose the aggregate of several people trying to be enterprising on a small scale for a big event is the same, if not worse.

I haven't seen Crap 1-6, will I be able to jump in mid stream?

As if there aren't other stores for people to shop at? And as if a New England state doesn't know how to dig out of a blizzard in under 48 hours. What an enterprising imbecile.

Even opening night screenings of huge movies are usually separated by all of a 5 minutes around here, there are always plenty of screens dedicated.

This is always my game. I got tickets to the 2013 ALCS for less than regular season face value.

StubHub is also great for paying LESS than face value because too many people try to scalp and get left holding the bag right before the event. Never buy last minute tickets on the street. Hell I got ALCS tickets in 2013 for less than regular season ticket prices that way.

I can only imagine how much further they'll have to go with product placement than usual. Over $300m? What on earth are they thinking? Even if you bank on the billion dollar gross of Skyfall (which was likely lightning in a bottle that this one will recede from somewhat) that's not a huge profit margin. And that's…
