Werner Herzog, also writing and directing.

Everything Daniel Craig says during interviews sounds like the "mean-spirited sarcastic asshole" option at the bottom of a Bethesda game dialog tree.

The massive extended outro in Pickett's "Hey Jude" may be one of the most incredible, emotional things I've ever heard in a song. And I've always loved Joe Cocker's cover of "Let It Be": lo-fi, haunting, stripped-down, and sung by Joe fucking Cocker.

Or Flyin' Ryan!

But I assume that even you didn't watch Red Band Society.

I agree, but I still think that the "Star within a star" monologue is one of Humphrey Bogart's best and Ray Harryhausen did some incredible work on that final battle with the Sunbeast.

Wasn't there an article about this guy by Dronez?

In the Latin alphabet, "jinkies!" begins with an I.

Or at least a radass synth-rock anthem titled after the movie like Big Trouble in Little China or C.H.U.D. 2, preferably written and performed by the Protomen?

Whenever I'm feeling blue, I remember that Nicholas Winding Refn Presents: Maniac Cop is a thing that will exist some day soon.

John Hawkes as Gross Legolas!

A lot of the movie just plain WORKS. Great ensemble cast, special effects that still mostly hold up, and (Aerosmith song aside) one hell of an original score. It's not some misremembered modern classic or anything, but I don't think it quite deserves its resoundingly negative reputation.

The swordfights and the Giamatti are both among of the best I've ever seen! The former are brutal and exciting without veering into Tarantino cartoonishness, and the latter looks like he's having the time of his life. I wouldn't call it a masterpiece, but I would call it "Die Hard in a fucking castle." What more could…

I don't know about all that. For one thing, there's been a unusually steady run of great-to-pretty-good science fiction movies over the last several years: Children of Men, Gravity, Interstellar, Looper, Europa Report, Ex Machina…hell, I even kind of liked Sunshine. For another, there are unprecedented production and…

Exactly! I'm picturing something like the third act of Ironclad*, except with a nigh-unkillable cyborg that can punch through walls and throw horses or whatever.

I dunno why, but this post/avatar synergy is working for me.

I honestly something like that could be done, and done well, AND done in a way that tweaks the source material without totally alienating either religious or non-religious audiences. To use this example twice in a row: Prince of Egypt is one of my all-time favorite animated movies, and the fact that it walked that…

Genisys is yet another good example of perhaps my favorite quote from anything they've ever done, said by Rich Evans while watching Roland Emmerich's Godzilla: "CGI made dumb easy."

I stowed my Michael Bay hate a long time ago, if only due to Stockholm Syndrome. His non-Transformers filmography has some rock-solid popcorn movies; The Rock is a near-perfect action film, and I will never stop enjoying the hell out of Armageddon. Even his worst movies have distinctive and occasionally quite lovely…
