Ahahahahaha, Romano was excellent in that movie and there’s his peak. 

Shawshank was ok but it’s symbolism hits you over the head it’s so blatant.

I think people often forget that schmaltz, when applied well, can have incredible power. People eat that shit up in a big, big way.

“Against his own better judgment, Hanks also played Forrest Gump as a character with a deep, marble-mouthed Alabama accent, a decision that has led to far too many terrible impressions over the years.”

Shawshank seems to be more Oscar-bait than an outlier like Pulp Fiction. Shawshank is prestige picture whereas Pulp is stylized and independent. For good and mostly bad Pulp probably influenced way more films in it’s wake. That could also be why it seems less important now. Sometimes it is hard to see how original and…

“This is for the less-flashy rich person...”

I think this tends to get overlooked. The word itself is obviously distasteful (and there is a certain amount of “I’m being so naughty!” glee in Tarantino casting himself as the one saying it), but the important thing is to watch Jules in that moment; he’s clearly seething, but he chokes it down because he needs this…

Yeah, Boomers suck. But if their movies are self-mythologising about how the things they experienced as kids were important, our movies are self-mythologising about how the pop culture we liked as kids is important. It’s even worse.

It might be schmaltz, but it’s effective schmaltz. I remember watching it as a kid and tearing up when he talked about John Lennon getting shot. It’s the kind of film that’s easy to sneer at, but when it works it works. Though the cluster bombing of awfulness that is Jenny’s life is, as this article points out, a bit…

I have had to listen to such cynical BS criticism about this movie for years. People are so jaded. I love it too and not just because Gump is so likable, but because he is -essentially - a tour guide walking us through contemporary American history.

I’ve told this story on here before but fuck it, one more time.

Despite its flaws, I honestly love this movie. It’s an absolute blast and a joy to watch. Hanks’ performance is incredible.

At the time of the original article, I think he was using they/them, but now is using he/him. Also, I tend to agree-this largely seems like a self-inflicted burden, and it’s hard to blame The Atlantic for this one particular issue. In fact, I might go so far as to say that doing so actually distracts from and…

So YOU respond to an open call to be featured in a very famous and widely circulated magazine, you talk to the writer extensively, not on the basis of anonymity, and even participate in a photoshoot for the magazine. You post said photo on your instagram (twice), saying you look hot in it. Then you say the magazine…

I’ve read through the article like three times now, and I am confused about what Brewer was told and when, and what the actual claim of wrongdoing against The Atlantic is. I get that the ultimate wrong here is supposed to be that Brewer was (in addition to being misgendered) “outed without consent by a national…

It’s bullshit, just like the $70 price point Activision is trying to push.

It feels like this...

That thing is F-ing ugly. Exterior looks like a stretch and skewed Renegade with chrome. Proportions are off and is bland. Interior looks good but I’d be hard pressed to trust FCA electronics. Can’t believe that exterior after the years of waiting and hype 

If only somebody had played the game and written down several statements designed to inform others what things were the same and what things were different.
