When will somebody make a movie about the persecution people face for being really irresponsible and stupid? You could call it 12 Years a Douchebag!

God, yeah, obviously the director of The King of Comedy, The Last Temptation of Christ, The Age of Innocence, Kundun and A Personal Journey Through American Movies is completely incapable of subtlety. I'm so glad he has a sanctimonious contrarian whose screen name is "You Might Be Wrong" to teach him about respecting…
Also that the 'facts' the film contained were based entirely off interviews with the torturers, and the agency that sanctioned the torture. Scorsese, DiCaprio and the producers have distanced themselves from Belfont and his cronies in interviews, and judging by the outraged reactions from some of the people the movie…
His death at the end of Genesis of the Daleks was perfect. None of his return appearances offered anything that couldn't have been achieved by just introducing a new Dalek Supreme or other Dalek leader. At best they were fun but superfluous, like his cameo in Remembrance, at worst they managed to cheapen Davros and…
Complete deus ex machina, wasn't it?
It's the freeze-frame at the end that makes it.
I always used to wonder how you would explain lolcats to somebody without sounding completely insane, but doge could be even harder.
I think the charm of the Doge meme is that, if dogs could talk, you can easily imagine Shibas would actually talk in little fragments of ungrammatical, gushing enthusiasm. I always imagine it being read out quite slowly, in a deep, breathy voice, like a New Age relaxation tape that hasn't had its script proofread…
If you were doing that, though, you wouldn't cast someone as famous as Denzel because everyone'll be expecting him to be a major character from the comics as soon as he shows his face. Although he didn't get to the payoff, the best model for this would be Dylan Baker as Dr. Curt Connors in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man…
She's probably already there, looking for her next boyfriend.
I had a friend who wanted to go to a movie with her parents one Christmas. She mistakenly left it up to her mum to choose what they would see, and her mum chose Shortbus by John Cameron Mitchell. My friend and her dad sat there horrified for the whole movie, but her mum seemed to enjoy it. At the end she turned…
We need more deets about him being a dick to his girlfriend! Jezebel commenters cannot live by Beyonce discussions alone.
Top three in the UK box office, just behind Gravity and The Hunger Games 2! I agree, that doesn't sound like a show that's slipping into unpopularity to me.
Ah, the halcyon days of America in the early 20th century! No government intervention in the economy, no exploitation of workers, and certainly no catastrophic economic collapses!
The world wasn't ready for you. Don't worry, I'm going to take your suggestion to a new, wider audience! Just sign here, please.
I mean, that wasn't what I was saying, but now you've put it out there, it's what I'm going to be saying.
It's definitely worth it! The bits about Donna from Elastica's heroin habit are absolutely bloodcurdling - ending up in crack dens with your record advance in your pocket and things like that. That just wouldn't happen now, they probably employ interns for that sort of thing.
Truly, it was the golden age of upper-middle-class Camdenite junkies.
Have you read The Last Party by John Harris? It's a great work of pop music social history, but more importantly if you lived in Britain through the 90s the "Oh, so that's what was going on" factor is sky-high.
This is particularly funny when you've just finished reading Bad Vibes by Luke Haines, in which the author talks about wanting to record indie rock music because it seemed to be part of a genuine countercultural scene that existed outside the stupidity and vapidity of the mainstream industry, and then making it just…
