I'd argue that Superman did have an arc in Man of Steel. He internally battles against the notion that he shouldn't help people and should remain hidden like his dad told him even though his instincts are the opposite. In the beginning of the film, you have a psychologically damaged loner. After learning about his…

Captain America had an arc? They showed him as having an arc in the video, but was he not always the man who would jump on the grenade the entire film?

The Beauty Inside was already a remake of an American film.

It would have been great to have the dog be a police officer twice during Reagan's Anti-Drug Abuse Act—once as a city cop and once as a suburban cop. Then the dog sees blacks in the inner city getting arrested for 5 grams of crack and getting a minimum 5 years in prison in one life. In the other, he sees white cocaine…

I just watched the movie. It was pretty good, but I would not rank it in my top films of the year. Sorry A.V. Club. Thank you for the recommendation though.

I saw them in 2014 for the first time and was greatly disappointed. Nearly every single song they played was in G major and they rarely ventured out of the first 3 frets. Hence, it was really repetitive sounding.

The Dirty Projectors

Han Solo must have fell in an air tube that brought him directly into a First Order vessel. His wound was cauterized. Therefore, he survived.

Reading Blood Meridian still for some reason…70 pages left…What a slog…No plot whatsoever…An onslaught of landscape descriptions mixed in with emotionally-numb, gory action sequences…

Make Princess Leia a burn victim on her face and then another actor just wears gauze the whole time.

Did Mace Windu survive too? That's a far more likely scenario.

Maybe the latest trailer's emphasis on all the academy award nominees in the film is a great selling point.

My favorite by them is Breakup Song. That one stood out to me immediately and I've listened to it several times compared to probably one to three listens for their others.

Ha. Yeah.

Mellon Collie and Infinite Sadness would be a 10/10, but that came out like 20 years ago.

Did you see them on with that band Blank Spell? I just wonder if Deerhoof kicked them off the tour after the show I saw.

I just started getting into them this year. They are very consistent band. It's pretty insane that I have over 100 songs by them on my phone, a feat only shared by The Beatles.

One of the great disappointments of year for me. I saw them live for the first time and they were pretty underwhelming there too.

Thao & the Get Down Stay Down - A Man Alive (9.5)
Chairlift - Moth (9.0)
Deerhoof - The Magic (8.0)
Highasakite - Camp Echo (8.0)
M83 - Junk (7.5)
Japanese Breakfast - Psychopomp (7.0)
Blood Orange - Freetown Sound (6.0)
Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Pool (5.0)

First time watching the show. I was digging it at first, but it slowly lost some momentum. When the episode ended, I wanted to see more, but at the same time, watching a weekly series felt weird to me compared to Netflix. I just don't like watching television that way.
