Morning Glories differs from Lost in that it had a specific end point since the beginning - 100 issues. The big downside is that (1) they've committed to the pace at which they're accelerating the plot and (2) Spencer has grown a lot over the years, but MG has felt like auto-pilot for the last several trades by now…

I've thought about that lately too. As opposed to Peak TV, we're in a period of Peak Comics.

I'll hop on!

The older What If…? comics were great because they were often done by the actual creative teams behind the original stories. Frank Miller did two different Daredevil-focused issues during his run on that book, for example.

I specifically tracked down this screening too (through this very website). It was a movie I was eager to see, but reluctant to pay for in theaters because there was the possibility that I'd hate it. Refn's films are polarizing by design.

I didn't call it a "crime movie." I described slowness as a "crime" in the eyes of regular viewers. Like it's one of the few things that most people can't accept in their movies.

Same here! My free screening was completely packed and about 15 people walked out by the end. I thought it was a unique experience since I doubt an arthouse movie like this will be filling the seats with so many regular movie-watching folk. People really had no idea what they were signing up for.

I thought the first 1/3 of the movie was amazing and spellbinding, like a trippy music video. The middle 1/3 tried my patience with its slowness (as I mentioned in another comment, this was when people started walking out of my theater). The last 1/3 was outrageous as hell. I can't even tell if I liked it or hated it,…

Hey I was at that screening too! I kept track and counted ~15 walk outs throughout the movie. It had been a long time since I've seen walk-outs in a theater. The last time I can remember was 21 Grams.

I just saw a press screening of The Neon Demon last night. Like Only God Forgives, it was a movie that I enjoyed much more discussing and unpacking than I did actually watching it.

I definitely meant that sincerely. He may have been the #1 box office star in the world for a long time and may have a somewhat perplexing personal life, but he's come off undeniably human in all his interviews since falling from the top seat. I'm still rooting for him. Who doesn't like Will Smith?

How quickly we've all forgotten this gem of an interview from a year ago:

I absolutely love Silk. Would be really sad to se it go. Though last I checked, isn't it selling better than Spider-Woman?

I feel nostalgic already for the start of the Quesada/Jemas era in the early 00's as they tried to dig the company out of bankruptcy. They avoided crossovers over a period of at least 2-3 years and concentrated on getting groundbreaking creative teams on their books - Morrison on X-Men, JMS and JRjr on Amazing…

Ah, that's what I get for not double checking after reading the admittedly very long article a week ago. My mistake!

A recent New Yorker in depth article described how the resemblance was a total coincidence and that they actually made it before the chair ad was released. It's a really brilliant article about how Silcon Valley nails the details.

No. You are! [See: Title]

It was cool, albeit aided by CGI that prevented it from reaching Children of Men status. When it got a little too busy and digitally assisted, it reminded me of an Uncharted game or the Last of Us, where insane things are happening everywhere but you can tell you're in a choreographed set piece and the protagonist is…

I'll pinch hit for Like Crazy, a movie I unabashedly love in spite of some dumb decisions made by the characters. It was probably the last original romantic movie that I really fell for, and did a great job of depicting the pains of long distance romance. That was the first time I felt Yelchin branching out into…

I had the exact same problem with Book of Death re: Venditti's take on Ninjak. That really surprised me, considering that this reboot version of Ninjak first appeared in early issues of Venditti's X-O Manowar. Most of the writers in Valiant's stable are consistent when handling shared characters, so it's quite jarring…
