I hate the very concept of "select cities." just open the f'n movie. or just screen it for critics, one or the other.

my takes are impeccable. they cannot be pecced.

i'm almost certainly older than you and it's definitely not the greatest film of all time. not even close.

one could just as easily argue "don't hire directors known for comedy and letting actors improv on set to direct your massively budgeted space fantasy film when you really want them to strictly adhere to your script." or alternately, "maybe we should try doing something different with these spinoffs. maybe do…

at least they lean into it, as opposed to foisting off rebaked bs like TFA as if we haven't seen it already.

body heat was style over substance and nostalgic, raiders same thing, big chill even worse for being boomer nostalgia. the lego movie and both jump streets were both great films.

yeah no improv except for han's best line and perhaps the best line in the series, but hey, let's not let facts stand in the way.

selling $10000 glass dildos doesn't really compare with unleashing long vanquished diseases into the world.

I've told this story before, but a few weeks before one of the later books came out i was at a friend's wedding and one of the attendees had an advanced copy that he let a few people see and hold and flip through. and so then i went to see "the devil wears prada" and the scene where she makes hathaway get the new…

so what was the verdict? did it stand up to your nitpicking? me personally, i thought it was very cool. i clapped when i saw things i recognized. wait, i devolved into a bit, when i actually do think it's a stone masterpiece and immune to any crass attempts to pick nits.

I watched Whiplash. Really good. a gazillion times better than lala land. very, very funny. JK was great, obviously, but The Odometer was really good too. plus supergirl! personally, i think chazelle is full of shit wrt the themes he harps on, apparently buddy rich was self-taught and said he never practiced, for…

it's the gremlins conundrum; technically, it's always after 1:00 a.m. isn't it?

here's why it's bad: everyone's different, so catchall advice like "travel" is bs. i think traveling sucks and try to avoid it if at all possible.

the problem with giving whedon a pass because it's a first draft is that he was given an opportunity to have another go at it and reportedly couldn't find another approach.

so the reviewer took this movie seriously, but i was laughing in all the wrong places. this movies is like 33% nuts? it's hard to say exactly how nuts it is.

but they also show him with the head bandages in the treehouse in flashbacks. so did he sneak out of the hospital? because it totally seemed like he never made it out of the hospital. and didn't he go from the ER to surgery?

I thought they were going to do some kind of "androcles and the lion" type of deal when she notices the shark had been previously injured by someone, but no, that went nowhere, really. (i suppose they intended that as giving her the idea for her final solution, but it didn't really stick.)

what i was hoping for at the end was that the rube goldberg machine would drop a bowling ball on naomi's head and an automated version of the same gun she had would pop up and you'd hear henry's voice saying, "i knew you wouldn't be able to go through with it, mom, so i took care of it, just like i took care of…

that's not how it works, if you use your brain too much it heats up and gives you a tumor?

but it was symbolic confetti. symbolic of his ashes.
