The use of "merely" here really sells the snobbery.

Yeah but isn't that where it becomes kind of amusing? I mean, it's a total waste of time, but I don't understand why people are angry with it because the theories are so stupid. As soon as he talks Kubrick in the clouds you instantly realize these people are fucking grasping at straws and you just listen as their…

Wolf of Wall St? Isn't it getting pretty good notices across the board?

Smurf scalping? Fuck yes.

Agreed entirely. It was an interesting doc but the behind-the-scenes turn in the second half was definitely unnecessary (or just too elaborate) and it seemed too self-conscious. Why did Polley need to remind us that we aren't seeing 'objective truth' by having what is basically a confession about how her story will be…

How do you know someone DIDN'T?! Pretty sure of yourself there aren't ya bud?!

I was really baffled by that. Too baffled maybe.

Ok - I love the Snyder hate train as much as anyone, but I can't think of how Amy Adams' Lois Lane was framed through sex, titillation, and nothing else. She never stripped down or done up to look like something out of a Michael Bay movie. Her biggest fault would have been to be too helpless and like a damsel in…

Yeah, that was pretty obvious, however the climax of that episode was so cinematic and engaging I think it made up for the cliches.

Same here - got bored of the comics very quickly - the show even quicker. The game is phenomenal on a storytelling level though.

I doubt anyone would have the balls to take a Teresa biopic head on like that — and if they did, no one would fund it — and if they did, we'd have to sift through a lot of misdirected protests and daytime TV crosstalk about it.

You're harsh but right. I don't think this show is good, but Phil seems to take it out on his general hatred for Lilley who has made much funnier material in the past. It's a pretty condescending, general dismissal.

Yeah - I don't think it works on it's own. It's a nice companion piece but the thing like having the kid and wife sit down for a moment for no reason is solely because it had a purpose in Gravity - it doesn't have a purpose here.

Yeah, there doesn't seem to be much motivation for these '19xx weeks' aside from cheap nostalgia mining.

Damn Dowd - great write-up. You capture all the highs and lows perfectly. I love the reference to Godard's philosophy. I think I'm gonna go back and watch H20… I saw it before I could pick up on a lot of these nods.

Makes sense considering Avatar was basically a video game anyway.

I think we all know the answer to that is YES

It begins.

Jesus. One of those videos that analyzes fiction to the point of redundancy. "Umm, did anyone else wonder how he peed while in a coma if there were no nurses?! Do your research filmmakers!!!" "NO"
