You’re giving him too much credit. He’s just an idiot with an out of control ego.

Academy members straight up admit to not caring / even watching the animated nominations. Sucks, but they don’t take that category seriously at all.

I feel like the two animal side-kicks have been cast with a lot of consideration for the voice actors’ persona’s and I find that really charming. McConaughey as the big, guff-but-playful wholesome guy with a touch of comedic relief. Charlize as the stern warrior mentor who starts of distant but grows attached as the…

It will definitely be dubbed into many languages, friend. I can pretty much guarantee Japanese included. It might be released in Japan with subtitles and with dubbing, as is usually the case with the DVDs for western media.

I really enjoy hearing big names in animated movies sometimes, especially if I’m a fan of their live action work, I find it interesting and fun to hear their voice coming out of an animated character. Laika seems to have been interested in acting calibre as well as names with the amount of Academy Award…

I can’t say enough good things about that shamizen cover of While My Guitar Gently Weeps, because it’s super gorgeous! My goodness!
The animation is definitely the best we’ve seen yet from Laika and that’s really saying something. The story looks creative and moving and funny, so I seriously can’t wait! I think it’s…

I think the reasons for this are two-fold: 1) Only the big names are listed in the trailer. Not even the titular lead gets a voice credit, seeing as he’s not well known. 2) There are currently no big name Japanese actors in the western industry, which the exception of George Takei, who is credited.

A frustrating…

This was a bad movie in regards technical film making, but bless her cotton socks, Jennifer Garner is one of the least badass actresses I could have thought to cast on top of everything. She’s an adorkable goofball. She’s in her element in movies like 13 Going On 30, where she gets to dance to Thriller with Andy…

My entire Twitter feed seemed to be of the same opinion as io9 though. They loved the crap out of it. I think it only comes off as insincere if the person reading the article has spent most of their time watching/reading/hanging out on forums that a determined to hate every part of it.

There does seem to be a real correlation between the level of irrational hatred for women doing things in traditionally ‘boy’ movies, and a disconnect from reality. The guys that wanted so badly to believe they had hurt Star Wars box-office boycott (not true), or thought filling Mad Max’s review section with sexist…

Does she not have duel US citizenship?

I hope so, because you really can’t discuss one without the other. They’re intersecting issues.

Wait, you’re accusing Fury Road of having undercracked action? Needed another giant fire tornado? Maybe an entire orchestra mounted on subwoofer trucks instead of just one guitar?

I would have liked that movie a lot better if she were the protagonist. She wouldn’t have blown the potato room up like a damn idiot either.

She’s cute as a button!

I was bracing myself to read your roasting of Fury Road with a sense of humor and not to get angry as I scrolled through the Best Picture list, but I see we are completely on the same page here, so very good, carry on.

$140million + budget?!?! That budget is crazy high for a February release! That is a summer blockbuster budget, not a dump month. Was it originally intended as a summer release, then bumped to February because the studio realized how bad it was?
But seriously, where did all the money go? Because it wasn’t on the…

Oh god yes. Actually, can we just have these two in The Mummy sequel they’re planning. It’s totally in his wheelhouse!

Kate McKinnon continuing to be a total delight.

- Yes budget matters. If people of color are only getting to feature in low budget flicks that either get thrown in the dump months or given a limited release with little to no marketing, that is not the same as having the same access to star in the same big budget franchise movies that white men do all the time. You…
