There' s really nothing more obnoxious than when you're having a good faith discussion on the web and someone calls you a "troll" just because they disagree with what you're saying.

It's called "integration."  Every word in the script should be integrated into the story, which is to say should move it along.  Exposition, when properly integrated, works.

Yep, he instigated a paparazzi episode and got some great footage of Kayne acting like a douche.  But again, if I call you a babyfucker, and you punch me, you're still in the wrong legally.

Right, but harassment is his job — he's a pap.  There's no evidence he's trying to get Kanye to punch him (even if there was, Kanye's a fucking idiot for doing it), but he's trying to get a newsworthy rise out of the guy.

This guy isn't drunk, and he's not starting shit.  He part of the same machine from which Kanye profits, and Kanye knows exactly what he's going to get when he travels publicly (which, note, he doesn't have to do cause he's rich as fuck and hates people).

What's up with the snide tone?  The pap was filming him legally, in a public place (Kanye had no expectation of privacy), and Kanye battered him, damaging his body.  If someone punched you, wouldn't you sue them?

Starman reboot.  BUT GRITTIER!

You disagreed with him so he must be a wet blanket?
I disagree with you so you must be what?  A ding-dong?

Nothing so irritating as when people make personal judgments about reviewers ("wet blanket AA Dowd everybody!") because they disagree with their reviews.  Not sure what you call that, but it seems to be one of the top 10 most bullshit human traits made more prominent every day by the Internet.

So, Paul Riser is in the movie?

I don't cry at movies, but had had a shit day, was drunk and completely lost it at the end of the movie.  Mine wasn't motivated by a feeling of loss, though—quite the opposite.  Watching the glory of that last shot just reminded me of my capacity to enjoy music and be in the moment.

What a fantastic movie, and great timing of your post. I'm a late-30's dad (though still somewhere around 24 in my mind) and watching this just made my week.  Granted, I was fairly shitfaced at the time I watched it, but it has the same youthful, Hughesian sparkle that makes you feel younger just from watching it.…

Jaws is the best, Alien second, but the Thing is in the Top 10 for sure.

Prince of Darkness has some the scariest images, okay THE scariest image ever committed to film (that shot of the woman being pulled away from the light into hell by a SERIOUSLY pissed off devil), but the plot is generally shit.

Say hello to all casting since the 90's.  The Thing, Alien, Escape from NY — so many 80's movies benefit hugely from having actual adults playing characters.

The only problem with the Thing is the final "wormface" action sequence.  I get it they needed a Boss stage, but the effects didn't work and it happens too fast.

Thanks for mentioning Stoker, which is top 5 for me this year, though I can't even begin to explain why.  It's just so goddamn creepy, and yeah, when I figured out the double entendre for the title a few days later, I was so happy.

Upstream Color is all sorts of awesome when you're watching it, though looking back its real glory is the storytelling, not the story.  I mean, you could approach almost any subject with that oblique, ultimate show-don't-tell technique and make a better movie than using more traditional narrative techniques.…
