Not exactly mainstream…

I can't speak for the film, and I'm sure it's terrible, but you could at least acknowledge that Winter's Tale is adapted from a novel. You make it sound like he came up with that plot on his own.

A 100-foot drop at 90 degrees? That's actually unbelievably intense, considering that most steep roller coaster drops already feel like you're going straight down.

I would disagree with that. Certainly, Roland is conflicted about how good he is at murdering people, but that's fairly well-tread ground for murderous protagonists at this point, isn't it?

No, Arcel has that dark, dry style of unpresuming competence that’s never uncalled for, but could honestly be used to shrink-wrap any script—it’s just that in this case, it’s a pointless adaptation of The Dark Tower, in which even the corn and sap instincts of producer and co-writer Akiva Goldsman, who has gifted us

That's how every negative review reads.

"Signs of Life" is a shameless ripoff of Debbie Harry-style rap.

I uninstalled it about 3 or 4 months ago and I don't miss it at all.

People are always saying that diet soda is bad for you, but is there any objective evidence of that?

You're right that it's technically true that there are potential benefits to up to one drink per day, but I don't think that any doctor would recommend someone start drinking in order to get those benefits - i.e. not drinking is more of a benefit than having alcohol in moderation.

This seems like a joke. Based on its proliferation in stores in recent years, I assumed that Coke Zero sales are going crazy. It's the only soda I drink.

So is alcohol but it's not going to happen for most people.

Gone Girl at least makes it clear that we're supposed to hate certain characters. The movie version of Into the Wild makes no such effort.

Yeah, it's really awful. As I recall, it openly vilifies his parents for the horrendous crime of having money and makes him out to be the hero for abandoning his family in a fit of sad-white guy syndrome.

I really enjoyed watching this show.

The whole point of the machine is that they're exact copies. You're making the same mistake that Angier does when he says he can never be sure whether he will be the one who gets transported or the one who ends up in the tank. The point is that the machine is creating another Angier who is fully conscious and has

It's so insufferable. Even worse are the people who feel the need to find something to praise… "Oh, well, I hated his music but he had a good voice. RIP."

It's not the kind of show I like to recommend to people.

You've must not have seen the extended version of Death Proof.

How can you complain about an episode being expository and then also complain that a certain scene didn't serve a purpose?
