You forgot to cast “Newman”, Bird and Murray.

I think the players were all chosen because they were clients of David Falk, Jordan’s agent. So, having the selection of players dictated by commercial concerns actually maintains the spirit of the first movie.

Being cartoons themselves (and knowing almost nothing about basketball) they targeted the most cartoonish stars they could find: the very short, the very tall, the very round, the very browed, the very floral.

Who are the most cartoony-looking NBAers these days?

I think it’s also a matter of a lot of movie/TV teenagers being played by full-on 23-year-olds. The kid in this movie would have been pretty much the exact same age as her character (or at least, the 13-year-old version) when she was shooting it.

Are those the shoes the little kid was trying to buy for his dying mom in that Christmas song?

Paul Rudd’s single greatest performance as an actor is when Janeane Garofalo forces him to pick up after himself in Wet Hot American Summer. I don’t care how many multi-million dollar superhero movies he finds himself in; he peaked right after Garafalo asks him, “Are you gonna clean that up?”

One of my least favourite adapted bits in the series. In the books, the dialogue is poetic and mournful, and Ned is not some overconfident lad, but a tired and weary battle commander.

Jon’s legitimacy was generally assumed in book fandom, but the show’s method of making him legitimate is total nonsense and certainly not reflective of the books. Annulment isn’t possible in the way the show depicted, either theologically or in a political sense (the idea that such an action would be secret is…

Fuck that! I don’t like people playin on my phone!

They’re all basically the same movie but each with varying frames per second for the slow-motion shots.

There’s no way Snyder turned in a releasable final cut with finished effects work. On most tentpole movies the effects houses are still turning in finished effects shots up until a few weeks before release, and we know from the Cavill-stache debacle that Whedon reworked most of the third act. Snyder likely assembled a…

““[…] all I can say is… sure there’s a cut… it’s done. I have a cut. I have a bunch of them. So, it’s not like… that’s up to them [Warner Bros.].””

Great, so he’s confirmed that he did in fact edit a cut of the movie.
In fact there are “a bunch of them” which means than precisely N-O-N-E of them is this BS “Snyder Cut”.

I almost always think the books unveiled events better and this is no exception. Tyrion’s thirst for revenge against his father makes a lot more sense in the books. In the show, his father is an asshole but he’s not the one who accused Tyrion of killing Joffrey and he’s trying to keep Tyrion from dying by having him…

‘cept maybe Barrister Selmy... but if he’s gotten too old or not was not a settled debate, at least in the books where you really get into his thoughts on it.

Maybe when peace comes, Arya will commission Ed Sheeran to write a ballad for Syrio Forel.

“...and then I shot that gross girl before she could get her cooties on Jon. Right, Jon? Jon?”

Glad you touched on my favorite part of the episode: Pyp and Grenn and the other three brothers of the watch who faced down Mag the Mighty. They recite the Night’s Watch vows as Mag is breaking through and charging them, they knew they were finished but went down swinging... and now their watch has ended.

That moment between Hanna and her friend is definitely the high point of the film for me. The colors are so rich and the intimacy of it is just as vibrant but the standout is, as you say, the ‘impossibility’ of the scene(they are lying down and facing each other but every cut to the characters shows them to be laying…

I lost interest in this the moment I realised the trailer was just recreating scenes from the movie 

My siblings and I are spread out all over the country after my mom passed away and we had to do some lawyer-related family business, my brother set up a conference call for us.
