Yeah Silence is a better movie than book.

Waterston is unforgettable in Inherent Vice.

“Weak disclaimer.” I know you’re trolling, as is obvious by your loaded language, but this opens up an interesting discussion. The “disclaimer” takes place in one of the several iconic Clarice-Lecter conversation scenes, so the dialogue around Bill’s disconnect from trans identity is extremely present in the…

In the movie they cover it explicitly in dialogue. Clarice immediately says that Bill’s psychological profile doesn’t match that of a trans person. Lecter responds by saying that Bill has probably been rejected from every hospital that performs sex-reassignment surgery. The most important line is, “Billy hates his own…

Worst scene in a great movie.

Exactly.

Many of the creators of past family entertainment haven’t cultivated a brand or public persona the way Rowling has. She was often speaking up in public even before she started spreading transphobia.

One of the innumerable, small character details that made that show so great.

Nah, 90's material is also classic. It’s quite a bit different from the first two, though. The first two are pretty different themselves.

Eh, I’d give it a shot. I think there are some good to great things in the movie anyway.

Yeah I like Frankie Five Angels a lot but you have to hand-wave his inexplicable absence in the formative first feature. It’s kinda amazing it works at all. Part II is great but it stands on what the first achieved.

Disagree about the domestic violence scene. I’ve long held that as one of the more disturbing moments in the film.

I’ve honestly never thought it was a bad effect. Your post was the first time I’ve seen anyone bring it up.

It’s long but it’s tight. When I watch it I’m still amazed at how fast it moves.

All three movies are classics. The Dark Knight is a landmark.

The Dark Knight Rises is a great film. That their are still people pretending it is outright bad is very strange to me.

Yea, I don’t know why so many people miss this. It’s a false populist campaign. And who actually joins Bane? A bunch of social degenerates and escaped criminals. That’s not exactly a working-class revolution.

Star for everything except TDK being “overrated.”

He wasn’t the Riddler.

Bane was losing focus because his mask was broken. It’s a measure of his desire for the fight but his diminishing ability to carry it through.
