They miss college?!?!? Who misses/gets nostalgic for college? By my third year I remember being "too old for this shit" and wanted out badly.

From your written description of its premise, I would have wagered you would reference either Wide Sargasso Sea or A House for Mr. Biswas in your review. But I did get the "magical realism" thing right!

Yeah, it's not the greatest honestly. But what can you do, that question of "hero or tyrant" should always be hanging around superheroes. I think they dealt with it the best they can with the press conference at the end and had the big blowout action sequence to up the stakes.

I love how Batman deduced it was Luthor by saying, "There are maybe a handful of people in the world smart enough to hack the Watchtower, and two of them were on it."

Weird right? I think Houses of the Holy is their best album.

High school dances played Stairway to Heaven? Was this a thing? It seems pretty undanceable to me.

How do you pronounce this, exactly? Is it nin-JA-go, like how you stress the "A" in Iago, or is it ninja! GO! like you're saying the two words really fast, or is it nin-yago like the spanish "j" is actually a "y" or is it Nincha-koooooooo! like how the Japanese slur out that last vowel?

With this and the Oasis article next to it coming out on the same day, I guess it officially confirms it:

I hope to see Jack Johnson Unplugged, What would he sound like?

Architecture nerds. People who if I mention Bjarke Ingels or Corbusier or hardscape vs softscape or Francis Ching or Modernism or Niemeyer or Centre Pompidou or "tectonics" know exactly what I'm talking about.

L'Auberge Espagnole was a film about how the Erasmus program was creating a Europe wherein the countries were more intermingled and co-dependent because of the exchange of cultures and ideas between students who participated in it. The apartment in Barcelona and its effect on Xavier was a metaphor for how countries…

I want nobody, nobody but you
I want nobody, nobody but you
How could I be with another
I don't want any other
I want nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody

The in media res beginning chapters to Love in the Time of Cholera, and the declaration of love that punctuates it - right before it launches itself back in time to start the story - is one of my favorite openings in all of literature.

I remember her from the show Spain…on the Road Again. Claudia Bassols was so gorgeous you could see crowds of people turn their head around when she walked by. Then there was the drop-dead Spanish scenery, the over-stylish fashion (Gwyneth Paltrow looked like she brought her entire wardrobe), the luxury vehicles and…

Fun Bobby

It just wasn't a fleshed out concept. To me it felt like he was trying to lampoon the various types in well-to-do exclusive East Coast colleges. That is a cool idea, but what he ended up with is a series of vignettes where each vignette made fun of one particular type, but there was no unity or flow as a film at…

I am a Stillman devotee. This film is the shiznit. Last Days of Disco even better, and one of my all-time favorites.

I watched his The National Parks: America's Best Idea recently and found it too maudlin. Even the title is a gooey overstatement. I've liked his other stuff and admit he's a great filmmaker, but the Spielbergian sentimentality in that one had me guffawing too often.
