Hammond's was terrible. Baldwin's is good. But really the best was Taran killam from a couple years ago.

I don't know. I like Star Trek. The new movies don't resemble the Star Trek I like. Why shouldn't I complain?

Dead Souls. Unsurprisingly good.

That doesn't mean it's good. Lots of political art is very bad, including bitch planet. At least in my opinion.

Kazuo Ishiguro's Buried Giant. A fantasy novel that pretty much ignores Tolkien and his imitators. I loved it.

I really liked Hyde Park on Hudson. I wouldn't call it a comedy though. Just a light melodrama about a real event.

Or the venture brothers one.

As for the technical details, that's just keeping in tune with the original comedy, if the review is accurate in associating this movie with Lysistrata. The point is the social concerns involved, not the technical details of current socio-political realities.

Personally I much prefer Vedder but I think the comparison has always been unfair.

And yet he achieved far more in life as a creative person than Mike White ever will.

film festivals never sound like pleasant experiences.

By conked out do you mean you fell asleep? And your excuse is that you were tired by the last day of the festival you saw it at?

Yeah and not very convincingly. Buckley's justification for the cops beating up the protesters was basically "well they were singing mean songs about LBJ." Ha.

If Morrison's run is her benchmark then I hope she doesn't get to write the book.

Yeah I actually think the mutant metaphor only works in a world full of other types of super humans. If they're the only ones then it makes sense for humans to target them. If they're just another type of superhuman/demon/ alien then the prejudice they face is more unjust.

Grim nightcrawler? God that sounds awful. Also quoting scripture? It's like writers can't conceive of characters who have a religion without making them weirdly aggressive about it.

Yes exactly. It doesn't make any sense. The writers ongoing fascination with iceman especially is totally inexplicable to me.

Yes exactly. I really don't understand why "put all the most popular mutants in one book" is something they've avoided doing for 20 years now.

The fugitive has to be the most perfectly paced movie i've ever seen. One of the few movies where i lose all concept of time while watching it.

Didn't he say that to Robb Stark as a way to reassure him that he didn't mind that robb wanted to punish him for letting that noblewoman starve?
