I’ve thought about this... (because what nerd doesn’t)

Cara Dune died on the way back to her home planet. 

Dil says “I thought you knew,” but her follow-up is “What were you doing in the bar, if you didn’t know?” From her point of view that’s a totally reasonable question, and it’s interesting to see Jordan’s comments in this interview about the real-life bar that this was based on, because when I first saw the movie as a…

I think Niel explained it really well, in that Fergus’ reaction HAS to be shocking enough to upset Dil. And Dil has to remain a sympathetic character, so any reaction of Fergus has to be severe enough that Dil’s counterreaction, of becoming upset in return, is still reasonable, understandable, and sympathetic. The less…

Encouraging gay/trans panic and depicting gay/trans panic are not the same thing. There are men out there who definitely would be shocked and disgusted to learn that they were hooking up with someone of the same biological sex, regardless of gender, the same way some men get disgusted by ‘gay stuff’ or being seen…

I actually love the labyrinthine timeline of season 4.  The first couple episodes are a drag but the payoffs more than make up for it in the later episodes.  Tobias and Gob are especially good.

Is this only Netflix US? Cause if it stays on Netflix in the UK, that can mean only one thing:

It’s one licensing deal, Adam. What could it cost, $10?

Does Netflix need money to keep it around? There’s always money in the banana stand.

My dear boy, why don’t you just try acting?

I have not read the book but I read a synopsis, and the comment of it being in the interest of mainstream cinematic taste, I have a feeling I can guess the change that was made as well.

One major plot point has been reworked in the narrative’s latter half in the interests of mainstream cinematic taste—arguably for the best—but it signals a cascading effect on the events of the third act that somewhat undermines the novel’s greatest strength: ambiguity.

He’s basically a community college film student that also happens to have California-architect money. His films have such a “I’m a teenager who is only encountering how storytelling actually works for the very first time” feel to them.

Also, for anyone looking up details on Breen, I hope you are as delighted as I was…

I mean he seems very earnest in his film making , (as opposed to say Ewe Boll who’s in on the joke and in it for the money , or Tommy Wiseau who is just fucking nuts, but in an entertaining way * ) but honestly if The Office was real , and Michael Scott had made Threat Level Midnight ,and continued as a film maker…

That’s what women and minorities who fall in with far right wingers always forget. THEY WILL ALWAYS HATE YOU. It doesn’t matter how much you carry their water. They will always fucking hate you.

You know, I appreciate a writer willing to review a movie on its own dumb level and grade it as such. Nicely done, Jordan!

It was not the original ending. In the original version, after the nurse attack, Kinderman just goes to Patient X (Karras) and shoots him. The end.

You can empathy for someone without spending more than a few seconds on it. Besides, if your time has value, what are you doing posting on this sad husk of a site?

I’m a little bummed The Descent didn’t make the list. It’s a rock solid movie, and the jump scare at the end of the first act consistently made friends scream when I showed it to them. 

The best jump scare that I can think of is Large Marge in Pee Wee’s Big Adventure.
