Ratatouille, Juno, I’m Not There, My Winnipeg.

“By “transcending the genre” I interpret it as being a movie whose content evolved or exceeded the limits of a given genre and became at once part of that genre while being something altogether different.”

“despite being actually really bad”

It was also on SNES! I beat it one time!

I also thought Grace’s delivery of that line was pretty chilling. Dude is really good at playing seedy, immoral characters.

“Also, yes, the dancing aged well. Disconnected from thinking they thought it was cool,it works when you realize it’s what nerdy Peter thought was cool.”

Yeah I actually liked him in this role. And I actually thought his conversion to psychopathy was a bit scary. I know Spider-Man 3 is regarded as a major failure, but the three villain performances all worked IMO.

Are people actually “friends” with James Cameron? Is that something that happens? All I’ve ever heard is that he’s a nightmare to be around.

LOL that was the first thing I saw him in and I was blown away by how good he was. This “he doesn’t act” hot take isn’t sticking with me.

I am really surprised at this “Gosling is a bad actor” hot take showing up all of a sudden.

“Not winning Best Pic was probably the best thing that ever happened to it.”

Yeah I actually thought the Deadpool movies made everyone recalibrate their assumptions about Reynolds.

Yeah the original Caddyshack has an extremely loose story structure.

BTW, she’s really good in St. Vincent. That’s a darn good movie all around, actually.

I bought the Criterion edition, and watched it recently. I disagree - this is still a deeply unsettling film that has a primal power to frighten. I’ve seen it multiple times, but it still got under my skin something good. I have no doubt that the original screenings in the late ‘60's were traumatizing experiences.

Reminds me of Caden Cotard obsessively cleaning after his wife leaves him in “Synecdoche, New York.”

When people are calling out Tucker Carlson in public, the target clearly isn’t swing voters. And any swing voter who will go GOP because of these events was never a swing voter in the first place.

I’m not a fascist propagandist, so yes. It’s not hard.

Those aren’t the people I’m talking about swaying. I’m talking about the targets of these events. Sarah Sanders and Tucker Carlson will not sway.

...and is still pretty terrible.
