The fact is Marvel movies are just extended commercials for a brand. There’s no real cinema there. Ang Lee’s film at least took risks and did something different, even if it didn’t totally work. Artistic ambition is preferable to corporate mandates 100% of the time.

As someone who has done some terrible things before I got sober, I feel a lot of the behaviours are pretty similar to lots of people in active addiction (breaking and entering, the Vermont thing just sounded like the mom took her kids to a place where she could access more drugs, etc.)

SAME! I came out of the screening and after a while I just felt a bit lost, kinda dizzy without being dizzy. I stopped, looked around the street and couldn’t figure out what it was, like as if I couldn’t remember where I left my car keys except I didn’t have any car keys. And then it just came to me, the world just loo…

I remember being impressed with the work in the ‘early’ days of cgi, but then I looked into it and only then was I truly ‘jaw-droppingly’ stunned at what the work actually entailed. It’s one thing to say ‘oh, we had him have blue-screen socks and we erased them away’... BUT, what blew me away was that with two…

Honestly the most impressive work in Forrest Gump, to me, was with Lt. Dan’s legs being digitally removed.

Not defending the show, but there are hundreds of stories about perfect people being perfect and changing the world.

Hell that’s what Paddington is about, if you think about it.

Paddington is Jesus.

Yeah. I don't know why Snyder didn't make Cavill use one.

I remember when it originally came out, seeing it at a matinee. Afterward, walking to the car, I really did expect to see Toons in the parking lot. It wasn’t some dizzy, hallucinatory thing, exactly, but more that for the last two hours or so I had seen that world and expected it instinctively until I sort of caught…

i mentioned that in earlier coverage of the first trailer, actually, but i just kind of skipped over it this time. 

I was so excited about Sky Captain.  But for all its technical innovation, the film itself sent me to sleep.

Yes, out of the three persons, and 140 years, yes, other writers have used the first person in this genre. Jesus.

A point of clarification.

He should have told it from the POV of the bomb, like in Dark Star.

And it doesn’t surprise me that AV Club would write an article on this but really just blow him for like 600 words or whatever.

Seeing this on Thursday with my 7-year old and I’ll only have one thing on my mind: Nicholas Hammond cameo or gtfo.

Will the Superman/Spiderman crossovers get any love in all of this Spiderverse?  Just suggesting...

I’m genuinely curious which QT movie you think is worse than Gangs.

I think Tarantino just has those arguments in the shower where you always win against what you imagine someone would say, and maybe thinks they’re actually happening because of how vividly they appear in his head.
