I totally heard that in the It's Always Sunny "Intervention!!" voices.

Check out his Matewan review, linked in the article. I'm partially just elbowing here for fun, because it's a taste thing (his reasons for tepid response to Sayles aren't wrong, they just don't bother me and/or are reasons I like him.)

But you're also not a big Sayles fan, so who to trust?!

Basically: Tim and Eric White House Show Great Job!

I laughed a bit, but found it somewhat disappointing overall. The LEGO Movie set a pretty high bar, whereas this was… fine.

If nothing else, I really love that cover design.

Awesome, thanks for the tip!

That's not true: my website "Godless Atheists Who Don't Believe In God" went belly-up despite nothing but pandering!

Stop spying on me! (Seriously, though: that's basically my path, and I think I came out totally fine (apart from all the bodies buried under the porch). I'm an atheist with persistent-to-crippling Catholic guilt, but I try to use that as a balance against the temptation toward self-flattering philosophies, if that…

Well, I may be an atheist, but: life tends to be weirder and harder and more complex than our systems for understanding it, so I hope whatever path you find yourself on eventually straightens out for you. *virtual beer clink*, if that helps.

I swear this on my children's lives.

I'm sorry to hear that… If it helps at all, crises of faith can be really productive: either you'll find yourself going down a different path than the one you started, or you'll be strengthened on the path you were already on. That's a win-win, so best wishes riding out the storm in the meantime.

Either Oldman or his agent (or both) has some terrible taste, though. He's the kind of person who agrees to doing Tiptoes, after all.

It's like the last thing you want to do is remind people of a movie they'd rather be watching.

I'd bet money The Legend of Sarila started off as a The Legend of Korra ripoff. The latter started broadcasting just the year before.

"Verse v. Versus" v. "Verses v. Versus": which leads to more confusion?

Frozen Land may have changed its title to draw some money from Frozen, but it's a clear ripoff of an entirely different movie/franchise.

Not true! I have receipts!

Not sure if we're reading the same review, but he does talk about the quality of the film: its uneven tone, patchy narrative, lazy detours into romance and redemption, etc. Even if intended as satire, the description makes it sound pretty one-note. It's not like he admired the film's craftsmanship and then docked it…

What, specifically, is ridiculous about it?
