To be fair, Hughes wanted to take this occasion to showcase a character of his we’ve sadly been acquainted with for the past few years, “Blogger Who’s Nowhere Near As Clever As He Thinks He Is, And Would Really Just Be Better Off Covering Entertainment News In A More Straightforward Fashion”.

I think if Oscars were given out for degree of difficulty, Chris Evans work on what could have been a boring, white bread character beats Downey and Pitt, both who were gifted roles with inherent sex appeal and quippiness.

Fire indiscriminately into the cloud? But that’s where I keep my music!

AD&D is the One, True, D&D.

If you were going to nominate any episode in season 8 for writing, it should have been A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. It was miles better than any of the other episodes. 

The think that made Blazing Saddles work is that the slurs served a purpose, and the comedy was never punching down (well, there was some homophobic stuff there that was not handled well).

“barron seemed joyless”

You: an enchanting phantasm of joy & whimsy cavorting in the pale desert twilight.

What about his arch-nemesis, Extremely Loud And Incredibly Closeman?

I have no range of actual figures related to income, but my understanding is that at this point, with the exception of some of the hugest acts, even moderately successful bands need to hit the road and tour constantly to sustain themselves financially; before the bottom fell out with regard to record sales due to…

Cool trailer but I gotta make an OT post.

Kelly’s Heroes is even weirder, if only briefly. You see our column of protagonists make their way down the roads of Nazi-occupied France in their jeeps and tanks, wearing olive-green battle fatigues, grim demeanors, and heavy weaponry and suddenly....

I detest the use of contemporary music in period films. It just feels insulting.

The story I heard was Yul Brenner was shorter than him so used to film scenes of ground that had been piled to make him taller, and between each shot McQueen would kick some of that dirt off...

If it does well enough, you could have Baron Samedi arrive to place a voodoo spell on M’s body in the sequel.

I would’ve preferred:

Alien is my favorite horror movie and Aliens is my favorite action movie (Sigourney Weaver got nominated for a Best Actress Oscar for heaven’s sake). Such a shame they stopped at two.

Hulu was co-founded by ABC, NBC and FOX. ABC was owned by Disney, which bought FOX, and NBCUniversal didn’t feel like being a minority partner in the platform, so they sold their remaining third to Disney for a cartoonish amount of money, and will be debuting their own platform sometime next year.

I think by the time Episode 2 came out in 2002, there wasn’t near the interest and attention paid to it after the disappointment of The Phantom Menace. That could be why most people don’t realize Attack of the Clones is much, much worse. Just intolerable to sit through. And that’s even factoring in that it’s got a…

I guess it all depends what you’re looking for. I have Philo for $16 a month and it has all the cable channels I want/need. If there’s an HBO show I want to watch, I’ll subscribe for a time and then cancel. I can’t just easily cancel cable channels at a whim, not to mention cable prices are constantly going up once…
