Not gonna lie, still a little disappointed he didn’t flip his shit and have a tantrum over the fact that Best Documentary went to the movie Obama helped back.
Felt like the idea of Obama being associated with an academy award winning film would have just been the perfect dash of salt in an open wound for the man whose

This is part of why I’m convinced the title was suggested for him by Stephen Miller.

Of course, if Trump wants to prove me wrong, I’d be up for watching him try to watch all four hours, with intermission, without falling asleep or getting bored.

A Clockwork Orange comes to mind.
McDowell’s VO narration helps make Alex into, if not more likable, at least a more interesting brand of scumbag.

Still not over the fact Pacific Rim got beaten out by Grown Ups 2.

I mean, sadly, I’m not surprised by it. I’m just...disappointed, America.

The longer this plays out, the more I’m torn which outcome I want to be the case.
Either
1) it’s released, and save for a few hyped up fanboys, it underwhelms in a big way with even some of the cast admitting they were hyping it out of kindness for Snyder
or
2) WB goes “Alright, Zack, you win. Where’s the cut?” and

Yes! Thank you!

I’ve been arguing for a while now that Snyder was born too late. Had he been working during the early hey day of the music video, he could have been something spectacular. Alas, as it is, some of his best scenes in his movies are basically just music videos with a lot of extra padded on the ends (ex.

WB, look...Akira’s not gonna work as a movie. Even at two movies, it’s gonna be hard sell.
Just scale back your expectations and shoot for a 2-3 season TV series where you won’t be as obligated to ridiculous whitewashing and watering down the story for mass appeal and with the right stewardship, you could still manage

As the saying goes “Hate’s a Hell of a drug.”

Now, now, let’s give the Dersh his proper credentials.

He DID also go to bat for Klaus von Bulow.
I mean, if you want to leave off his arguing it’s okay for the President to try and put his thumb on the scale because “he thinks it’s for the good of the country”, that’s kind of fair since that came after the video, but

...I know you’re going Disney princesses route here, but I imagine this and I just want Marsden rallying them a la The Wicked Witch of the West
“Fly, my pretties! Fly! AHAHAHAHAHAAAA!”

and when they tried to explain that in their acceptance speech, they got played off.
It was a tacky move then and it only got worse after they went under.

...welp.
You either die a hero or live long enough to...you get the idea.

Given what happened to the animation studio in question as a result of them taking that criticism to heart, I’m not sure how much I’d want to count that as a plus for this movie.

Silent Hill is...it’s passable as a horror film.
As an adaptation it’s...not awful as much as it is frustrating. Like, it tries to get it right and does nail some of the beats, but between studio demands and surface lifting of certain elements for the sake of fan service, it feels like a mess.
(Biggest example being the

Does it still have the fucked up xenophobia of the first, or did they realize that’s probably NOT the kind of thing you want in a kids’ film?

Part of the problem was it was a statement she should have rolled out sooner.

By the time she brought it out, the people it was meant to reach had already bailed anyway for various reasons of disgust with Trump.
And all that was left were the ones that looked at that list of *ists and went “Yeah, what of it?”

I hate to break it to you, but Dean Cain being an asshole predates MAGA.
Dude’s been making these kinds of films for a while now (case in point: God’s Not Dead.)

The crazy part is, this Trump Mars movie would somehow STILL find a way to be more jaw-droppingly homophobic than Boat Trip.

Well, the good news here is they wouldn’t even have to consider that far. Anyone who thinks a man of his age and health is going to survive the necessary G-force training is at best naive, at worst flat-out lying to themselves.

Dunno if this is deemed sufficiently old school or not, but recently been revisiting the old Star Trek: 25th Anniversary computer game.

Pleasantly surprised that it still plays well overall (some of the ship combat is still a little wonky, but the away team point and click adventures are still a lot of fun and do an
