Yeah, the X-Men thing is very bizarre to me. Admittedly, I haven’t seen either film in years, but I remember X2 being the pinnacle of comic book superhero movies up until that time. Obviously, Marvel Studios has since surpassed it, but it’s difficult to imagine me watching it again and saying, “Oh, I guess it was…

My favorite part of this movie is Carla Gugino looking like Carla Gugino.

Others have said this before, but I think the Soulsborne games feel more like heirs apparent to the Castlevania franchise than Lords of Shadow. Admittedly, they don't really have a platforming element, which is fairly integral to Castlevania, but the tone and open world exploration feel way more indebted to…

You’re telling me there are people who think the Lucas movies are so logically amazing and consistent that Rian Johnson offended them so much that that’s why they hate it?

Admittedly, this thread gives me a slight bit of pause.

It’s pretty hilarious how this dude seems to check off so many boxes.

natureslayer, you’re missing the context of his comment about Dench as M. Here is his first comment:

The Black Angus bit will never not be fucking hilarious.

It’s self-depreciation, essentially admitting that doing 90 minute reviews of decade old movies is kind of obsessive and deflates the self righteous tone that such a review might otherwise take.

oh gotcha haha sorry the haters had me defensive yesterday.

I think the point of film criticism, and by extension all pop culture criticism, is to take the thing, as it is, an decide if it did a good job being that thing.

Yes, his persona in which he pretends to be a serial killer is clearly an expression of genuine hatred of women. Now let’s talk about that genuine right-wing hack Stephen Colbert and that hate-mongering show he had on Comedy Central.

Yeah, that’s possible. (And also pure speculation.)

Not sure what your point is here. It’s already a 2h30m movie. You don’t need two minutes of Rey flying a ship, landing it, then running over to the falcon.

...especially given the likelihood (as RLM points out) that Snoke’s personal escape craft probably has some serious weaponry of its own...

It’s also worth noting that Mike and Jay really liked Cowboys and Aliens and accused people who didn’t of being dumb.

Also, if Finn and Rose were able to come and go so easily, why didn’t the entire crew just evacuate the same way, a few people at a time?

But, because [The Millennium Falcon is] the ship the audience knows, it’s the one that shows up to save the day for the fourth or fifth time, because hackery.

Everyone who posts this logical fallacy image meme shit automatically loses the argument they’re having, FYI

...one of the things he complains about is “They said Rey took snoke’s ship but later she’s in the falcon. How’d she get there what happened to snoke’s ship?”
