Elijah Wood is not actually English.

The ending of "Lessons" is an amazing moment that the character never lives up to for the rest of the season.

Depends on how you define "twist," I suppose. It's a "surprise reveal," if you prefer.

Oh, I know. People who loved Skyward Sword are more than welcome to that opinion. I just personally disliked it, so at this point I'm more hesitant in trusting positive reviews for the next game in the franchise.

Agreed. Bad mythology, bad storyline, bad world design, bad boss design, poor gameplay, repetitive structure… I can't believe what a slog that game was.

This is exciting, but I'm going to give it some time before I actually commit to playing this. "Skyward Sword" was a dreadful experience, and yet it was hailed as a "masterpiece" and given "10/10" scores for by countless reviewers.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"I don't know why they bother doing these"

Especially because the acronym is clearly G.I.A.R.L.

Concerning point a, I thought it was revealed that the cosmic cube was used to rewrite reality. What Cap always does would be beside the point.

The doomsday clock is closer to midnight than it has been since 1953. It is absolutely within the realm of possibility. The socio-political factors that result in such a judgment are not to be taken lightly.

I'm saying that the story isn't designed to function independently from the other elements that make up the film. Part of what makes the story work are the songs. It's a musical; it's built into the fabric of the movie.

That's because the story isn't meant to stand on its own.

I think if you take away the space battles and the lightsaber fights and the general pulpy adventure feel from Star Wars, what you have left is a pretty uninteresting film.

The problem is that he was hailed as a new Spielberg right at the top of his career when he really was closer to a new John Carpenter.

In terms of what is actually shown on screen, I would say it's relatively tame; especially compared to other Scorsese pictures. It really is a tremendous film, though, and I highly recommend you see it.

This might have been a problem with your particular print because I saw an advanced screening that had no issues at all (that I noticed).

I checked out the "Last Temptation" soundtrack from the library so I could listen to it on the drive to and from the screening of "Silence" I was attending. It's terrific.

It's both. As a religious person, I found it profound and incredibly moving. I've talked to atheists that said the same thing (for different reasons). That film has provided some of the best art-based discussions I've had in years.

Well, whether his music is crap or not is besides the point. It doesn't change the fact that Dylan is still a profoundly important musician, easily one of the 5 or 10 most significant musical figures of the last century. You can argue that his music is bad, but there really aren't any valid arguments that his music
