Dear AVClub… When Yahoo 'news' and you guys run essentially the same story, you've got titanic credibility problems. Just sayin'.
Isn't it time we considered just how difficult it is for Christian men? They have to constantly think about what its like for other men, who happen to be gay, and who are happily living with each other, and who are sleeping in the same bed, and who are undoubtedly having gay sex… They have to think about this all…
I was kinda' expecting the protagonist would have a girlfriend back home on Earth, maybe some nice girl who also worked as a stripper. She could have dialogue like "Ain't no person gonna tell me how to raise my baby!" (I forgot to mention she also has a newborn child from a different father.) And also she would dress…
Uh, watch more of that behind the scenes footage, and you'll also the embarrassed glances and dead silences of much more talented people than Lucas, all of whom are trying to figure out which one of them is going to break the news that he is - in fact - creatively bankrupt and a complete charlatan.
Yup, especially that scene (punching out the alien after it was already established that its protective suit was ubber strong, etc.) was so ridiculously grandstanding and seeking approval and applause, I felt embarrassed watching it.
Hartnett also sucked the life out of The Black Dahlia through sheer suckiness, although that movie was doomed to suck no matter what…
First you must inspire some freshman-year-quality 'think pieces' in Salon.com regarding gender identity and sexual orientation… Then, presto! Artist!
I have day-dreams of opening a tattoo removal clinic, but I doubt many people have any sense of just how dumb-as-fuck their tattoos really are… This Miley person is a perfect example.
I'll bet some Hollywood executives / producers / marketers are really worried about getting fired after this boondoggle! Oh, wait… * checks history of production companies, et al. holding executives accountable for horrible business / creative decisions * Nope, they'll be fine.
Up-voted for seriously being funny even if you don't get the reference.
The ancient Egyptians were absolutely obsessed with death and the afterlife, so from that perspective, it makes sense… So yup, I'd agree that's similar to how it would up on a tomb - its all about the death of the king. This artist might have ignored some particulars of the story, but he knows his tomb-art!
Sometimes, its almost like Yahoo employs the laziest, least capable, most irony-free people on the Interwebs. And I'm only saying that because I sometimes actually read their content, and follow their financial decisions.
Something, something, resting bitch face, something, can't act, Heigl, something, hated for a reason… (Am I doing this right?)
This must be the bit that inspired the Keith Richards / Sgt. Pepper reference?
I wonder how what percent of pie-faced conservatives have 'watched' Pleasantville, in their intellectually incurious manner, and found it a perfect representation of how idyllic and strife-free the 1950's were…? I'm guess around 100%.
Esquire would like to tell you different - but then sadly looks in the mirror and nods its head in agreement.
I know, I get the irony about complaining about corporate ineptitude… but the joke is also on us, or anyone who owns stock in these publicly traded corporations, or who wants their local theater to show actual good movies.
Sorry to sound like my grandfather, but if the Wachowksis had such 'conviction and belief' in themselves, they would self-finance their disasters and thus take personal responsibility for their failures. As it is, they get glowing pre-movie exposure in the New Yorker, etc., are allowed to leverage an entire movie…
The 'Amadeus' model is, I think, such an interesting way to portray a musician, tell his / her story, etc. Of course, both that movie and play have huge omissions and strange peccadillos (where the hell is Haydn?) but the change in perspective to a 'rival's' perspective is a brilliant idea.
