Oh wow, I hadn't noticed the edit feature! Sweet!

So am I the only one who immediately wants to spam this hidden board with racist, sexist, brain-dead invective just cause I can?

This is new and different and therefore I fear and hate it and want to kill it with fire.

I do too, but the advantage to no subject line is that people will stop forever trying to use them and the user name to make jokes and getting them backward and ending up with this:

"Signal to noise is pretty high" — yup, I worded that backward. Sorry.

There's a scene in the movie where Heard's character stabs Burke in the face during a fight; she accidentally really stabbed him in one take, though not hard enough to break the skin. So a pretty minor face-stabbing, as face-stabbings go, but just another illustration of her being a bit overenthusiastic during fight…

Your mileage may vary. But it was a huge box-office flip; production budget alone was about $50 million, and it took in $10 million domestic, $28 million overall worldwide.

@profdragon: I'm generally right there with you; I'm not much into the speculation game at all, particularly given how long it'll be before we get the answers, if we ever do.

I'm still considering options, and waiting for the next shoe to drop in the "we don't want to rent discs anymore" long-term plan.

Actually, it changed to "Reasonable Disucussions," which was very frustrating.

I didn't bring up Blockbuster as an option largely because I don't know what their service level is these days. About three months after they launched their discs-by-mail service, I signed on for a month's trial, and at the time, their price was competitive with Netflix, but their ship times were longer (five days for…

It starts off a little shrill and I was tempted to bail too, but I thought it really picked up once Luna shows up, with her "This book is full of Nargles only I can see" line. And Snape, chanting his name in a reference to one of the old Harry Potter Puppet Pals cartoons.

We're working on it. Sigh.

When you're coming from the accepted majority position, you don't necessarily need to hammer. I generally felt it was enough to ask the questions suggested by that majority position. Granted, that meant the decision didn't break down into screaming at each other the way we thought it might, which might be a problem.

I reviewed the previous two Transformers movies for the AVC too. HISTORY, people!

Yeah, but the scenes with LaBeouf and his awful parents are minimal, and there's only one joke about his penis. There's only one scene where he tries to play it cool and then knocks something over. Compare this to what felt like an hour of masturbation gags and slapstick smashing-stuff comedy in the first one, and him…

Bob K. He is in fact outing himself as the guy in the photo.

Subtle, hon. Reeeeal subtle. :)

That one also came up, but turned out to be a made-up festival, albeit one loosely inspired by a real one.

It really does seem to me that a lot of studio movies are calculated to a fault; I don't think there's any harm in responding to that. And this one in particular very much follows the formula Marvel proved and refined with the Iron Man films, Thor, Incredible Hulk, etc.: You can practically hear the structural…
