The issue is that they both LOOK younger than they are. As Ebert said, today's actors look younger at 40 than actors of previous generations looked at 20.

I'm sad that the MPDG trope emerged, because it has cast a pall over my teenage literary crush on Clarisse.

I always thought Montag and his wife should be middle-aged, or at least late 20s/early 30s. Right now, I'd like Jordan and Harrier to sit out these roles until they are about ten years older. Here's hoping their performances and the overall direction of the film prove me wrong, like when I thought Gal Gadot was too…

Matt Lucas was really on Community? I thought that I had hallucinated that because of a gas leak…

Owch.

I finally saw The Room for the first time a month or two ago. I don't quite know what I expected, but whatever it was I thought I was in for, what I ended up getting was orders of magnitude stranger and sadder. I don't know if I've ever seen a movie where I saw so clearly what the filmmaker wanted to communicate,…

R.E.M.

Ah. Apologies. I mis-understood.

Flash in the movie *isn't* going to be the same incarnation as the TV show.

I'm not sure what your comments have to do with the conversation about the decision to use a soft focus lens.

So?

No. Thoughts?

I feel like an archaeologist when I dig through my OED.

Technically, the OED is a descriptive dictionary, not a prescriptive one, so they don't make declarations about what are "official" words or not. Instead, they just try to catalog every English language word that meets certain popularity requirements in a given year. It's like the pompous, over-achieving older cousin…

What ever happened to NICE GOOD MOVIE? I was really excited when he announced it but haven't heard a peep about it since. Is this going to vanish like that?

I'm not expert in the making-of in any kind of way, but I always just assumed, based on the credits, that he had nothing to do with Empire beyond outlining the broad strokes of the plot and that, based on some interview I read with his co-writer, he made some intrusive notes on Jedi ("Make the Wookies shorter and swap…

But Lucas didn't execute the first three movies—he didn't write or direct Empire or Jedi.

I always knew Tony Shale's endless series of screw-ups would end up ruining everyone's lives.

I'm only a minute or two in, but is this whole thing shot through a soft-focus filter?

Did they reuse the Jennifer Slept Here set for Fresh Prince?
