I feel like Why? With Hannibal Barca was under-rated. The elephant thing was a good idea with poor execution.

Yeah, the animatronic Arnold repairing himself will probably make her laugh if anything. And I don't mind the Sarah/Kyle love scene so much. I was trying to remember if there was more in the early part of the movie, or if I was confusing it with the excess of Predator 2. (The Predator franchise can wait awhile.)

Yeah, let's not start acting like he's the Jar Jar of Terminator 2. He's fine. In fact, I think he does a pretty admirable job transitioning from angry teen to the conscience of movie, and even as a sad little boy who just really wants a dad by the end. There's nuance that isn't always found in teenage characters.

I was about to make the same DCAU/Brave & Bold observation. Definitely looks like it's worth a look. We should always make sure to encourage DC when they tell fun stories with colorful characters.

God damn it, this is a great film.

This is one of those moments where I think, "if this were fiction, I would criticize the author for being too on-the-nose." An over-the-top loudmouth named Trump? Ostentatious brassy decorating? This is J.K. Rowling-level naming symbolism.

I'm sure he'll be a complex character study for the inevitable biopics - he's like the ultimate Poor Little Rich Kid.

Clinton's position was "play hardball with Russia via no-fly zones." That may have been a bad call too - threatening armed conflict with Russia is something we'd all be pretty glad to avoid, I'm sure - but I know I'd have liked more discussion on it than "let's let Putin handle it."

While I'm not sure a review of a restaurant has to get political even if the president-elect owns the place, I still readily believe that the food is terrible and I am amused by a scathing review of it.

I wouldn't trust a movie or theatre review if the critic had only had time to watch the opening 20 minutes, either.

That's a horrible thing to say.

I think I remember reading an Esquire interview or something (it wasn't mine, I swear!) where he talked about having a gun to protect his family and taking Anna Faris out shooting, or some such.

Is that the one with the CGI owls?

I know I misread the headline, but now all I can think about is a Pacific Rim/Godzilla/Pokemon crossover, and I will choose to believe that's in the works instead of whatever this story is actually about.

Agreed! After "First Class," I was surprised at how funny she is on that show.

I had a joke, but then I realized I had the entirely wrong idea about who that was, because this all happened when I was like six. Carry on.

Hell, he was pretty good in Open Range, for that matter.

Boy, did we ever get the better part of that deal.

"Rethink your heroes."

Excellent long-form reporting or upper-class snobbery?
