She's very pretty, but looks alone should never be the reason to cast someone, and she always has the expression of a doll being animated. I could be horrifically wrong, though, and maybe I've just not seen her in a role that plays to or realizes her strengths.

She'll probably end up playing Granny Goodness sometime down the line.

You never know! I'm hoping death and resurrection gives Superman a new outlook on life, and this version will start being a lot more like what we're used to.

There's really nothing wrong with that in my eyes, and there's no doubting the quality of works from even monsters, but even though I've watched other Polanski films on Netflix, I just can't remove him from the equation, and I guess owning them just makes me feel a bit guilty for some reason.

I say the same thing for Jupiter Ascending, though the kid whose Trapper Keeper contained that story would've likely been a bit older than 11.

Lucky. First time I saw that movie was, unfortunately, next to a guy who would not stop rustling his popcorn bag, groping for apparently the single best kernel he could find in 10 seconds before noisily popping it into his mouth and crunching on it with his mouth open then going on to repeat the process, meanwhile…

I accidentally purchased the Steelbook of "Chinatown" a few years ago because it was on sale for $5 and I remembered it being a good movie. Movie arrived, and I was horrified to realize I'd ordered a Polanski film. I think I mixed up him and Scorsese in my blind excitement for a good deal. I kept it, because I'd…

I found that Marie Antoinette was​ generally an engaging film with an interesting style and a uniquely empathetic view on what I've always perceived to be an unfairly maligned historical figure for the very reasons Coppola presented. I mean, I've only seen it once, but it worked then.

I like to feign outrage when someone lists a silly movie as a favorite, but that's only because a lot of people consider me a snob since they know me as a cinephile and will even assume I'll look down on them when, really, I would only do that on some level if they only listed stuff like Paul Blart as a favorite and…

A lot of my favorites are movies I don't watch often because I know they'd lose something in the frequent repeated viewing, but I buy them for when the itch hits. "Zodiac" is a prime example of such a movie for me. It's long, and it's dark, but it's one of the best thrillers I've ever seen, and I don't typically like…

That movie is, legit, too smart for him. (I love Dumb and Dumber, and it's better when you know what they're dumb about.)

Damn, I'm incredibly sorry you went through that. I can't imagine the pain of knowing people who knew my attacker. I hope that your story has some justice in the end, but even if it doesn't, like you said, you're not alone.

Wasn't that because the creature was manifest in their heads mostly and she kept suffering from insomnia and staying up all night watching old movies on TV?

Thank you, and same with you. As I've said elsewhere below, it's something I've been continuously working on, albeit mostly by myself. Talking about it more openly (when appropriate) helps, since it just reconfirms that it is legit, and I have a right to have a perspective on it without the interference of others -…

Thanks. I have actually told my story before, but only fairly recently because of the whole climate and attitudes of the people around me and my putting pressure on myself to move on now that I'm 30. I haven't really gone to therapy for it, but I made a conscious decision after some further events happened (I belonged…

Thanks. Believe me, I know about patriarchy, since I'm kind of among them and grew up in a hyper-conservative environment for a while and still kind of am around all that thanks to family. It's hard to love someone like my mom genuinely while still knowing that she told me that I was gay only because my dad was…

I appreciate it - truly. I think on some level people believe me, I guess, but are still suspect because I'm a man, and I also came out as gay recently. Stigma upon stigma… My pastor a while back (at a church I have left) didn't really even bother talking to me about my trauma. I had only told two other people about…

I still don't think most people outside my sister and a couple friends​ really believe me when I've told them. What's worse is that, since I was a kid at the time and the way it happened, for a long time I wondered if it was even legit because of the participation factor. Like, I still don't like talking about the…

I thought it was going to be a coma nightmare Homer wakes up from. Was kinda surprised it ended up being real.

I watched her America's Got Talent clip as a result of this discussion, and she's definitely got potential, but SNL is really not making that apparent.
