I love that moment. In fact, the whole movie is almost a nonstop barrage of cool little scenes like that.

If it's OK to express admiration for Friends at the AV Club, then I'm going to go out on a limb and say it was the best-written sitcom of the 90s, at least when it was in its prime around seasons 2-3. There was such perfect chemistry and timing among all six leads. Almost everything everybody said was a genuinely…

It seems like every time a search engine is clearly identified in a movie, it's Bing, yet I've never heard of or seen anyone using it in real life.

I was very disappointed too. I guess the social commentary is unusual for this type of genre film, but social commentary isn't particularly interesting or entertaining to me, so it came across as a solid but unremarkable thriller.

Yeah, the report doesn't really do anything except compare Cornell's level to some other level, which presumably was gleaned from some clinical study. I guess that's all the ME could be asked to do, but it adds next to nothing as far as insight into what happened. All I know is that I got really messed up the first…

All right, let this be the counterpoint thread. I can't stand those movies. Yes, the car chases are thrilling. Yes, the action is believable and looks great. The problem is that it's just ONE GIGANTIC CHASE SEQUENCE. I mean, so is Mad Max: Fury Road, but the Bourne movies are ridiculous.

The two-part premiere knocked my socks off, but now that it's settling into a more familiar Twin Peaks rhythm of occasional creepy stuff tied together with very long stretches of quirky townsfolk doing unfunny things, I'm starting to worry.

I seem to recall that you don't really see the witch, except maybe in one or two very brief (and pretty creepy) glimpses at a distance. The whole ending definitely leaves a lot less to the imagination than the original, but I thought that was also the only part where Wingard was able to bring some new ideas to the…

Nobody is a bigger fan of the 1999 original than me, and I was 100% prepared to hate Blair Witch, but I was pleasantly surprised. I would even go so far as to say it was great … assuming you can get past the fact that it's more or less a remake of the original.

Does anybody get anything besides cherry? I've eaten Dum Dums for decades and I swear, every single time the "mystery" flavor is just cherry.

NM and Stella Artois are what I drink when I don't want to be mocked by beer connoisseurs but also don't want to gag on hops.

The concept that the kids created Eden themselves is very nice, and I wish I had understood that when I saw Logan. I kept expecting that Eden was going to be some kind of Muir Island-like facility, and there was going to be a big reveal where all the classic X-Men were alive and well, and just in hiding. So at least…

Alrighty then, I guess I don't really have to pretend. I'm a little bit uneasy about how eps 3 and 4 have fallen into a lot of that tedious, unfunny comedy that made the later episodes of the original Twin Peaks run so weak. The two hour 2017 premiere knocked my socks off though.

I know of Xenakis only because he's frequently cited in the algorithmic composition field, and as with almost all academic music that I've heard, it never occurred to me that some people might actually enjoy listening to it. Leave it to Mr. Vishnevetsky though to help me appreciate something that I had never…

I guess it's true that it would be an even more impressive achievement if it was highly accessible and entertaining for a wide audience, yet also as uncompromising as it is. I'm just saying that for me, understanding at least some of what it is actually "about" has helped me to appreciate how well made it is, how…

It's not an easy movie to like, but personally I think IE is actually a perfect movie to go out with, if that's what ends up happening. For one thing, it's by far his most uncompromising and ambitious work. Plus, I subscribe to an interpretation of IE that views it as a (very loose) representation of Lynch's life…

I mean, another movie would be great of course, but I would be OK just pretending that the two hour Twin Peaks 2017 premiere episode was his final movie. As a standalone movie, I would rank it above Dune, Fire Walk With Me, and Lost Highway, at least.

I can totally see him as the guy in the office who comes around at 4:45 PM asking everyone if they want to grab a brewski and some wings.

I was just barely old enough to see Jedi in the theater, and all I remember is thinking that Jabba the Hutt seemed like somebody I wanted to hang out with. To this day, he's my favorite Star Wars character.

Oh hell yes. The man is back. Damn, is he back.
