there are MANY tv series I consider as good or better than most movies. the difference is the long format story telling.

Okja, I haven’t seen, so I can’t speak on it, but I did watch the Angelina Jolie movie, and that’s a MOVIE-movie, and I wish I had watched it on the theaters instead of on tv.

to all of that you are saying, I always like a movie at least 20% more if I watch in the cinema.

its not really an objective thing, saying its a tele-movie, more of a felling. like, an hbo movie, can be extremely well done, and have movie stars and all and still feel like made for tv.

I love memento, as gimmicky as it is, but I think I love Interstelar more.

I completly reject the notion that force awakens gets worse in subsequent viewings. I watched 3 times in the movies and at least 5 on tv and like it more and more each passing time.

goyer is the worst, but nolan could havevl very well changed the dialogue for better if knew how.

he wants to be a commercial autore but he has nothing on the man who perfected that niche, spilberg.

I’ve watched some of the most recent netflix movies, the horror comedy the babysitter and the jane fonda/robert redford gentle drama. and while they are well done and even entertaining, he is right, they are tele-movies, not theatrical experiences. theres nothing wrong with that, but they have no place in awards…

thats exactly how I feel about Nolan movies. I mostly like them all right, but they are really not as impressive as they think they are. interstellar would have been a sci-fi masterpiece if it had cut 20 minutes of the characters saying the most obvious pieces of exposition to each other.

rogue one is not actively bad like the prequels. is just meh for the most of it and then the last 20 minutes are super cool.

no. force awakens has likable characters and an actual plot. rogue one has 20 final minutes of cool imagery and thats all.

what? DEAN CAIN!

when your fans know that a character will most likely be killed the moment they are introduced and they BEG you not to do it, and you do it anyway, even after you told them you wouldnt, its not only unjustifiable, but its lazy storytelling.

and then people wonder why women don’t come forward. this seem actually life threatening.

nah, force awakens is completly delightful. rogue one, on the other hand, is as bland as they come.

god, I dread this fox-disney non-sense if only for the selfish fact that I want my x-men good and separate from the marvel universe.

its a stand to take. if everybody does it disney will lose a lot of publicity and they will be forced to retreat. if no one else does it, its at least a symbolic gesture of solidarity.

not really. the la times can still write reviews, just not advanced ones because they cant go to press screenings. I think what the av club and others are doing is the correct way to go about. hope more and more institutions choose to follow this iniative

Well, its my taste of course, but my favorite superhero movies are the 2 original superman movies, spiderman 1 and 2 iron man 1 and 3 and the first captain america. They all have stroNg romantic elements. The amazing spiderman movies were not that great but the BEST thing about them was the gwen/peter romance. The…
