Wait, they made fun of Diabolik? That's so lame, lol. Godzilla vs the Sea Monster is a solid movie too.

I disagree completely on your assessment of the series quality. They decline in quality when they become producer driven rather than directorial driven. Most of the Honda sequels are thematically rich. King Kong vs Godzilla is a comedy, yes, but at it's core it deals with corporations whoring out cherished symbols (in…

Huge Godzilla fan….?

I enjoyed this movie, but it completely fails as a kaiju film. It has no understanding of those films aesthetically or structurally. I'm kinda tired of this weird lip-service to the genre we've seen post-Pacific Rim. It's like if we retro-actively labeled Friday the 13th a giallo.

He's Woody Allen for burnt-out Gen-Xers, with all the sexual assault allegations that entails.

I really hate the lack of narrative creativity in this game. The decision to limit the number of Milky Way races seems so counter-intuitive. No drell, elcar, hanar, or volus! Why not focus on one of these races we haven't explored much? Instead, we get basically the same interplay among the four main races. The krogan…

I'm really tired of the FEWER CUTS = BETTER ACTION SEQUENCE meme. It's such bullshit, and comes from people who over-idolize tone deaf dreck like THE RAID 2. Some of the best action movies have intense, quick cutting. Yuen Woo-Ping and Tsui Hark's fight scenes come to mind.

I dig King Kong Escapes a lot too. For my money, it's probably the most fun Kong film.

You…realize Kurosawa wanted to make a Godzilla film, right? He was good friends with director Ishiro Honda, and they shared the same pool of actors.

No, he's a lot better when he gives a new perspective on oft-derided or under-seen films (his comments on Miike's Negotiator are probably the finest examination of the director in the Western hemisphere). The problem is people love to watch easy targets get beat-up (see, MST3K or Red Letter Media).

The only people this surprises are the deluded GEN-Xers who think shit like Rogue One was good.

"Creative vision", it's a pretty piss-poor Domu adaption.

The art is terrible.

"I'm very much a mainstream superhero fan, so most of this list is meaningless to me. I'm not saying they aren't great stories, I just like the fact that right now, DC and Marvel are writing the mythological heroes of our time- in a thousand years, people will still be telling stories about Superman, Batman,…

I'm sure Lucas' ideas for 7-9 changed over-time. There's an interview somewhere during 2010-2011 where he say he wanted it to focus on the next generation, teenagers.

I saw it. Kinda ho-hum on it. As IV says, the action staging is great, but ironically the stuff with the villans is BAD (Weird, really). Mendelssohn is boring, Tarkin is a fucking cartoon, and Vader is a jokey Freddy Krueger (can't make this up). Also, the score doesn't fit the movie at all, but I hate Giacchino.

Jesus, how much did Janus Films pay Vishnevetsky for this advertisement?

This is shameful behavior, but the reactions from the film community (especiall Chastain and Evans) feel like faux-outrage given that Schneider talked about this nearly a decade ago and no one seemed to care.

The problem with The Daily Show and its ilk is that they come off as smug echo-chambers for neo-liberalism.
