Changing things from the original doesn’t make it qualify as “quite a mess”.

I enjoy the idea that Data managed to become such good friends with Bruce Maddox, a man who tried to offline him to study him, that they shared ideas and artwork and Maddox created *children for him*.  

You get the ‘happy ending’ you want, but it makes the all too real deaths of Tate, her son, and friends even more painful. Much has been said about Tate’s portrayal by Robbie but she did a good job. The real life accounts of Tate at the time seem to relay a sweet funny increasingly secure-in-her-abilities young woman.…

I lived in Germantown, MD at the time and had to drive by one of the state parks used for location shots in the movie on my way home from a late-night viewing at the Regal theater. This is a park where I went to day camp as a child- swimming in frigid waters at 8 am and avoiding Archery by hiding in an abandoned…

What kills me is that at the time the special was released, I was living 10 miles from Burkittsville, had obviously never heard a word of this supposed local legend, and still bought it, because in my 14 year old mind I couldn’t fathom that the Sci Fi channel would lie to me about it. I remember after it ended wonderin…

An essay, huh. Last time I read an essay in a long-running black and white comic book, it was Dave Sim discussing his enlightened thoughts on women. 

“Even more jarring is a segment where Bella ends up living with a homeless veteran for several months, then nearly dies of dehydration while chained to his lifeless corpse after he dies in his sleep at their campsite.”

Wut.... is this the dog version of Gerald’s Game?

It’s almost as if that line was some kind of joke.

If this movie existed in a racial/cultural vacuum, you would have a point, but you can’t willfully ignore the times and political climate we live in and in which the film is being released. White americans generally don’t consider white Russian mobsters to be a problem. A large segment does demonize Mexicans and a movi…

it was a little hard to hear because of all the wailing, but it was really funny\depressing when Sgt. Hatred started introducing all the various ghosts of people who died connected to the building

Hank apparently has panic attacks (or something) whenever he and Sirena try and get intimate

I can’t think of “Fly Away” with thinking of the Neil Cicierega version.

They didn’t actually film Blade Runner there. They took a mold of the Mayan-esque tiles from that location for an interior set of the apartment which they then built in a studio. This is fairly common behind the scenes knowledge and I’m surprised such incorrect info would be in an article on a blog like this.

Sean Penn may be the most gifted filmmaker I’ve ever read; gifted not just because of his imagination, his energy, his originality, but because he has access to the unutterable, because he can look inside a humanitarian crisis and discover the the banal romance clichés. For twenty-six years he has been making films…
