An emoji movie is the Garbage Pail Kids: The Movie of the 2010s.

She may be a wonderfully talented and charming actress, but I can't take anyone seriously once I hear that they eat clay to 'remove toxins'.

Thank you for your opinion. I disagree. See how that works?

I'm not saying I'm a huge fan of this movie — it had its issues, definitely. I just think it's funny that every article remotely related to the movie finds a way to speak about it in the most loathing, hateful terms imaginable. It's pretty clear how much it's disliked among the staff.

Very true. It's tough to play catch-up when Marvel's had such a big head start in creating their universe. But for all its hype and epicness and such, BvS is really just a prelude to set up the Justice League movies. I guess if they can make almost-a-billion on the way to that pair of monster tentpoles, they're doing

Here's the weird thing: it's doing pretty well. It had a huge second-week drop (as expected, given advance sales), but its return-viewing average is massive. So not as many people are seeing it now, but there's a bunch of people seeing it multiple times, way more so than usual. So it has its huge fanboys.

I keep forgetting how much the AV Club loathed this movie. Actually, no, I haven't, because they just can't stop reminding us how much they all loathed this movie.

I kind of adore 2010 for what it is. It's a perfect time capsule of 80s cold war space exploration fantasy. And it has a house with dolphins in it.

He's part of their imaginary "entertainers' wing". Although I don't know why Cyndi Lauper wasn't inducted before Snoop Dogg. Lion.

It's a little hard to infer from tone, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the author didn't like the movie very much.

I mean more that it's often literally dark, as in large chunks of the movie are at night or in the shadows, and it's so desaturated that it often looks sepia-toned. Bright and colorful it isn't :)

They… infer it. Lex does a lot of talking in this movie and is prone to babbling, so there isn't a scene where he glares at Batman with rage in his eyes and growls, "I don't like someone more powerful than me existing."

I loved Jeremy Irons' done-with-this-shit Alfred. It's exactly the attitude I'd expect him to have after all these years of dealing with emo/womanizing/reckless Batman.

I appreciated that he was having fun with his performance and it was certainly unique. But I found it hard to be intimidated by a wacky, brain-farty, loony Lex Luthor.

I enjoyed BvS, and by that I mean I appreciated it for what it is: a very serious, very comic-book-geeky, very grim and dour look at a fucked-over Superman and a bitter, grumpy Batman. It's anything but lighthearted or funny. This is not a "fun" superhero film, but if the darker, serious tone of a lot of DC comics is

John Carter's a great example of how bonkers tentpole filmmaking's gotten. It made almost $300 million, but it cost so much to make and they spent so much on marketing that actually making a profit was nearly impossible. It didn't help that it was saddled with a title that sounded like a movie about an accountant.

We're in an era where computer models of predicted moviegoing patterns are enough to already declare how much a movie's made before it actually makes any money?

I love and adore Peter Serafinowicz and will watch anything he does, but he's the last person on earth I would've predicted to be cast as The Tick. I'm excited.

I feel like the ultimate dose of Pee-Wee I've seen, so far, has been the Playhouse Christmas Special. Seeing Pee-Wee surrounded by Little Richard, Charo, Frankie & Annette, Grace Jones, and the DelRubio Triplets, along with all the puppets and claymation, felt like it completed his world.

Welp, now I know about the alien, the birthday party, and NYC. I'll still watch the movie, though!!
