ScarJo being rich doesn’t absolve Disney of breaking their contract and then trying to bully her into submission.

I keep coming here because I’m old and out of touch, and it’s the only way I get news of things in the entertainment world. So I’ll probably be here until the site inevitably dies. But I’m not happy about it.

Looks like someone never got over seeing “The Goat”.

It might help if you pointed out what was incorrect.

All these not-quite-robocar manufacturers keep harping the wrong point about self-driving: they act as if the percentage of miles that a driver covers in a week that can be self-driven matters. (“Look! 80% of the miles you drive can be done by the car! We’re nearly there to Level 5!”) That line of logic is utter

100% agreed, and it’s true even before he’s ever revealed in The Force Awakens: Luke’s Jedi instruction was entirely from two former Jedi who had voluntarily exiled themselves after making catastrophic errors in supposed service to the Force - of course he’s going to follow in their footsteps! I never understood

A few months ago, I saw that the Jay and Silent Bob Reboot movie was streaming on Amazon Prime, and I thought about watching it. I was a big Kevin Smith fan as a teenager, and I thought that even if this movie sucks, which it most certainly will, it’ll be a nice nostalgia trip. Who doesn’t want to visit with old

I actually think Clerks II was pretty good.

Zach Zamboni, an Emmy-award winning cinematographer who I believe had been part of the core team for many years. 

Obviously in the end, nobody chooses suicide except the person themselves, and there was clearly a lot more to that decision for Bourdain than whatever went on in the last two years of his life.

“Won’t someone think of the dick waving SpaceBro billionaires?” ask a surprising number of AV Club commenters.

Unfortunately, everyone else who shares the road gets to be a beta tester too, whether they want to be or not. You thought you were driving to work, but you are really providing system inputs to see if the Tesla will react properly or not. Just have to hope your test inputs don’t “crash the system” - you might not be

God, the pacing— it was just one “and then this happened and then this happened” sequence repeated the whole movie without filling in the blanks.

Someone said it on here previously, but: the prequel trilogy were a great story told poorly, the sequel trilogy was a poor story told well. The acting, cinematography, editing, dialogue (at least in the micro terms of how actual people actually talk to each other) and overall lack of pretense are a lot better in these

Winter Soldier is still my favourite MCU, with only the big battle in the sky falling into the familiar third act conclusion of Marvel films post ‘Avengers Assemble’ (we had to call it). At the time I wished Alexander Pierce had been revealed to be the Red Skull in disguise, but now I see that would have been too on

Or, it’s a muddled mess with an overbaked script and constantly repeated beats that thinks its much smarter than it is.

My friend and I were giggling during Trinity’s death scene. By that point, we just couldn’t take it seriously.

Eh, it’s streets ahead of Revolutions (recently rewatched, and egad is that boring trash), but no amount of masturbatory filmic doubletalk is going to convince me that Reloaded is anything but an okay sequel with some good fight scenes (the highway scene is thrilling), a lot of CGI that has not held up, and an

I didn’t love the tornado death, but I thought both Costner and Diane Lane were inspired casting choices for Ma and Pa Kent.
