We don’t have a genre called “excitement” because they opted for the word “thriller” instead.

You... just said that because people writing about this film must have been paid off because people you know aren’t as excited by it.

You sound fun.  

Why do you think your personal friend group is representative of all film buffs?

Huh, people you know personally aren’t as excited about a weird art-horror movie as a bunch of movie-nerds on pop-culture sites? Crazy! Must be a conspiracy, there’s no other possible answer.

“I just thoroughly do not understand the point.”

I’d bet you might come away with some understanding of the point once you actually see the movie.

That’s kind of the way it usually works... 

Ah yes, Death of the Author. Except you CAN know, if you ask. Or if they say. And to each their own but I find artist intent *very* interesting. Because I don't believe that individual interpretation trumps intent.

I love Deep Red. I love the music, the story, the ending, and of course, the well known fact that a sharp eyed viewer can see the killer pretty early in the film if you look close enough.

In fact, take away the delirious beauty of the color-coded lighting and surging prog-rock score, and you’ve got a simple slasher movie, a film whose “witches at a ballet school” mythology is a mere delivery device for the real attraction: the violent, symbolic violation of young female bodies.

Never got the love for the original. I found it completely unwatchable. 

haha you watched the walking dead

Tom Cruise is one of the few actors whose real, “public life” has made it very difficult for me to separate the character from the person playing the character

I get the weirdness of Sciencetology and the salaciousness of all the rumors, but I really don’t understand why people care so much about the couch thing. That was more than a decade ago, and all he was doing was goofing around on a TV show where he was being goaded to goof around by both the host and an insanely…

You already know the answer to that question.

Fury Road is undeniably great, but you consider 2015 years ago??

You are probably the only one that thinks your charismatic when you are drunk.  It’s natural, though. 

It seems like most people who comment here are armchair-(insert self-delusional title) wannabes. You know absolutely nothing about this gun beyond what you read in this article, yet you jump to all sorts of unsubstantiated conclusions. Ridiculous.

His antecdote? He’s making a specific claim. He has no proof of his claim.

This is a poor take.

This is a very, very weird hill to die on. It’s about someone trying to help a stranger (which is the only thing that “good samaritan” means to 99% of the living human race), but someone who has a lot of criminal baggage and reason to fear the law (hence the bad part). It’s wordplay. Using the word “bad” doesn’t…
