Just as an update: former A.V Club writer Todd VanDerWerff has written about the veteran angle:

I'd say it's pretty logical (it might need a second viewing to appreciate the earlier scenes a bit better). I mean, it doesn't explain why everything happens, but it sketches out the mechanics pretty well. Also, it just gorgeous to look at (and listen to).

This clip is a part of what's probably my favorite scene in the film (it's the little girl reciting her poem, pay special attention to her expression just when she's about to drop her killer last line).

ooooh, interesting idea! I like that interpretation as well.

It's shown a few times, which is why it caught my attention. I initially found the Laura character a bit jarring, as she's acting a but too much like - I don't know, a 50s middle class housewife? - to really fit in the more grounded/realistic tone of the film. But if you view Paterson as "lost" or having difficulties…

It's interesting that almost everyone who has seen this film keeps stressing its uneventfulness, warmth and positivity. And make no mistake: it is really funny and heartwarming, and lovely in how it shows how art just as much belongs to "the common man" as to "real" artists, and how making art can be valuable for…

There's not really any humiliation comedy. Lots of awkward or embarrassing situations, though.

I'd call it a family drama with lots of funny moments, rather than a "real" comedy. The jokes are not the key, but arise from the characters and the situations they end up in.

really? I didn't know that. It doesn't make sense to produce A.V. Club content and then have no menton of it on the actual A.V. Club site.

Glad to have this feature back. I always liked the previous installments.

I do feel old :-/

He gave it a C, but something tells me you don't care.

Then Never Let Me Go is up next. I like Pynchon, so I suppose I could like The Unconsoled, too.

I'm reading it now, and it's been great so far. Ishiguro's prose is so damn pleasant to read. Reminds me of John Williams, Stoner in particular. What would you recommend next? I know Never Let Me Go is acclaimed, too, and it sounds intriguing.

It's disheartening that the Stewart-bashing here is so bad that you're not even talking about how excited you are by the phrase "gorgeous grain of 16mm by regular cinematographer Christopher Blauvelt"

While this trailer indeed isn't very good, it at least doesn't spoil any of its amazing set pieces or surprising scenes, which is definitely a good thing. Most of the humor depends on a good set-up and getting to know the characters before getting to the crazy stuff. The movie is also remarkable sad and touching, and…

The Terminator is one of my favorite films, and definitely the most rewatchable.

While they're definitely performance artists of some sort, they've been doing the Die Antwoord thing for such a long time, they might be unable to go back to normal. (And at least for Nina, it would take a lot of lasering).

Hope Sandoval and Massive Attack are such a great match. Generally, I'm just happy to see that Massive Attack are still making killer tracks.
