Oh FUCK no, that thing was freaking awful...

Yeah, this sounds like a bad movie and a bad decision about the actors, but the charitable explanation is that Eastwood’s “respect your actors’ choices and keep things loose” approach just doesn’t work when you’re dealing with non-actors instead of, say, Gene Hackman.

In John Carroll Lynch’s interview with the A.V. Club, he compared Eastwood’s directoral style to jazz, something IV alludes to in this review—it’s not about doing it perfectly, it’s about the raw energy you can get from everyone trying to work together without quite being sure what’s going to happen. I feel like…

One of the things that impressed me about United 93 was how good the non-professional actors were.

Having not been on set, I can’t say that this is what did happen. But based on what I’m reading here, the presumption is that Eastwood directed this in his signature One-Take style. Up until now, I would be inclined to attribute that to his belief in the professionalism of his actors; you’ve got quality talent, and…

I mean, is that supposed to be a sexy line, or a funny line? It isn’t either, but it’s waaay worse at being sexy.

“It’s boobs in boobland here”

I honestly don’t understand what people like about this series. There are millions of “girl fixes the broken cute guy” stories and billions of bondage porn out there. And there are tons of stories that combine the two as well. What made this one so special?

Are we sure he wasn’t doing this interview in character as Richard? Starts out talking about a successful new project, gets asked about something else and starts giving kind of bad answers that could result in negative press, gets flustered and tries to salvage things, but ends up digging himself deeper. And then…

The Ramones could barely play and their music is better than all the jazz ever created.

A lot of people also confuse being “good” with being technically proficient. Somebody like Steve Vai could play circles around Keith Richards, but Richards is a better guitarist to me because he writes good riffs and plays them in a way that makes me feel stuff. Aimless meedley meedlies may be harder to play, but…

I’m glad you gave a shout out to his performance in The Hudsucker Proxy. It’s one of my favorite performances in one of my all time favorite films. He was so great spewing out that mile-a-minute Cohen Brothers-channeling-Frank Capra dialogue.

i need to rewatch this film. it’s definitely been too long.

Joe Swanberg’s “Win It All” is a great breezy comedy.

This is a lazy, lazy film. I think it sucked me into another dimension and had me watch a shit version. 

It’s a pretty good and fun B movie. Don’t expect a blockbuster and you won’t be disappointed.

Also, did they try turning the space station off and on again?

The list of things that don’t make any sense here is just massive.

I didn’t notice it either, someone pointed it out on Reddit, the colors of half the players changed to yellow, indicating the”absorbtion”of the other station, which doesn’t make sense since the other station crashed into the Earth
