i like when he yells “EVERYONE!”. also that weird thing he does when swallowing pills

What is it about people with paedophilic tendencies that makes them want to telegraph it, put it up in lights, let the world know etc? He could’ve been a silent nonce, but was determined to make a film about his preferences for children.

Gary Oldman is spectacular in this movie.  

Yup. It’s fucking gross. That script was also significantly more violent and Leon is a full-on sociopath. The “no women, no children” rule is still there but otherwise he doesn’t give a shit. Leon trains Mathilda by having her actually kill random people. The script opens with a variation of the rooftop sniper rifle…

“Thank heaven for little girls” and such.  The French are gross

good lord.  ewwwww

JFC.

I have to assume one of those alternative realities is the universe in which the planned reboot takes place. 

I said she was raised on Depression era cooking. Because my grandmother, who learned how to cook when she was a kid during the Depression, raised my mother on Depression era cooking, so my mother never ate garlic and still says that bell peppers are too spicy.

Every time I’ve visited an Applebee’s, it was always against my will. Absolutely minimum resistance from my end, mind you. But still...I made my dissatisfaction be known.

Complaining about the Dems getting extreme is just about the dumbest political comment that people make to try to sound smart or moderate. To the extent that Dems have moved left, which is limited to a handful of issues like health care, it is only to the point that is considered centrist and sensible in literally…

There’s no “common ground” to be found when one side literally has said they want to erase entire sub-cultures of people from existence. There’s no debating fascists. We tried that in the 30's and by the 40's the whole world was at war. 

There’s no such thing as “common ground” with a fascist death cult. Only one political party has gotten more extreme and this holier than thou “both sides” nonsense just aids in moving the Overton window.

Sinema seems to think that choosing the mid point between Democrats and Republicans makes her more mature and sophisticated. She can do that whole “a pox on both your houses” thing. I know other people who think the same. The problem is, the mid point between “completely awful” and “not awful” is “partly awful”. It’s…

Are we at the point where Society is beginning to wonder if Star Wars succeeded despite George Lucas rather than because of him? So many stories have come out in the intervening years of how other, more talented people have a much greater responsibility for how these films turned out than the man supposedly in charge,…

Really, the only place that beard style is appropriate is on an 18th century naval vessel.

The reason the first three movies worked at all was because Lucas had people there to tell him he was being stupid.  By the time the prequels come out, the old guard has left and Lucas just has a bunch of acolytes raised on his movies making exactly the crap he wants. 

Hey now, Corvette Summer was 1978.  Don’t sell the man short.

It always felt like with ‘Return’ and the prequels that it was Lucas unfettered with no one telling him no or even, “You sure about that, George?” and this was absolutely to the detriment of the product on screen. On ‘Star Wars’; everyone was telling him no, from the Studio on down. But it still got made and it was…
