Pretty much, haha.

"Fuck it! We'll do it live!"

GOBLET OF FIRE is #1? Bullocks. It's got far too much going on plot-wise and I don't think Mike Newell's romantic comedy direction was the right approach; the hormonal stuff was better handled in HALF-BLOOD PRINCE.

Of course I don't. I just think awful real-life violence like a school shooting should be handled with a lot more care than it often gets on television, where it's often trivialized as a very special episode. Here it comes completely out of the blue narratively and used in a way that can only be described as

Because zombie attacks don't exist in the real world, despite whatever metaphorical connections the creators of THE WALKING DEAD want to make to our society. School shootings happen often in the US, taking real victims. Mixing the metaphysical fantasy with a ripped-from-the-headlines plot twist gives the cruel idea

He actually seemed sincere in his condolences for Grimmie. No hashtags, for one thing.

Me, too. Anything that begins with a previously relevant actor asking if he's still relevant can't be good. Were they trying to mimic CALIFORNICATION with that opening sex scene?

Vanilla Sky is a pretty lackluster "cover" of a great Spanish movie, but it did introduce me to Sigur Ros, so it breaks even in the end.

Is that question, "Does anyone still give a shit about the Dan Brown's books?"

Alison Wright is a main cast member; whenever a main cast member doesn't appear in an episode, they still get a credit. So sadly that's not a guarantee that she'll actually be in any future episodes. :(

Having nostalgia for superficial things about a past period—clothes, music, technology—is completely different from policies along the likes of oppressing minorities and saying women should be punished for abortions.

It really is what ties the movie into a masterpiece. It's Dix and Laurel's own flaws and insecurities that drives them apart, not fate or a bad plot device, and their realization that their love isn't a band-aide to their mistakes makes it so incredibly modern. Film noirs basically ended in two ways, the bad guy dies

It's worth noting that Hughes was never bothered by the changes made to her novel (which would have had to have been censored for 1950s audiences anyway) and thought Gloria Grahame did a great job as Laurel.

If it weren't the detective, it would have been something else to bubble Dix over—someone on a film set, Laurel, a random person, etc. I love this movie because it recognizes that love isn't a band-aide that covers all your flaws, that their relationship is going to become an abusive one if it continues, and it

"Not even to visit?"

I'm gonna argue on behalf of UNDER THE SKIN. First off, the movie itself is a deft examination on humanity and femininity, it's far more a masterwork than any other film referenced here. Secondly, many of these other posters have the punchline of how the male in the poster is reacting to the unseen female. None of

It's truly a great movie. It takes a minute to get used to a sombrero-wearing Cary Grant (but very easy to get used to leather jacket-wearing Cary Grant) in a role clearly earmarked for Clark Gable and Jean Arthur isn't the best example of a Hawksian Woman, but its control over tone and Hawks' quiet admiration for the

I hope so. The only thing my viewing of FLAKED has inspired is a Google search for "Bojack Horseman season 3."

I wish I liked this show more. It corrects everything wrong and borderline misogynist about GAME OF THRONES but lacks that show's confidence of narrative and direction; I could easily start a drinking game out of every unnecessary use of Claire's voice over narration.

I've heard that part of the issue is that sometimes creators will sell away the ancillary rights (ie for sequels and remakes) in order to get their movies made in the first place.
