Have you ever walked out of a movie? If so, which one and why? If not, why?

Can I tell my pants-shitting stories here? I'm trying to kill the last couple hours at work.

The original pilot was also directed by John Cameron Mitchell of HEDWIG fame, in addition to starring PSH. The pilot that aired? Ken Kwapis.

For repeated 2015 trailers, I submit WOMAN IN GOLD, that one where Helen Mirren was trying to get some painting back from Austria with the help of Attorney Ryan Reynolds. In addition to being a "whole movie in two minutes" trailer for a movie that didn't look that good, I saw it before just about every movie I saw

Shaq's reasoning for being in Kazaam is up there with Michael Caine's Jaws: The Revenge quote.

Lance Reddick's character's brother/uncle/dad/some other blood relation would be my guess. Or some sort of mentor we have yet to see, if the movie wants to get cute about it.

Yup, I'd easily throw it in my top 10. Great hangout movie, incredibly hot, and easily the most fun audience I've watched a movie with this year.

I didn't hate Trainwreck, but it really re-emphasized how much Apatow values goofing around with his friends over telling a story. Making a comedy requires you to shape and pace the material, and acknowledge when a scene just needs to take care of business. Not every scene needs to contain five minutes of improv. Not

SUCCESSFUL POST-2000 COMEDIES WHOSE THEATRICAL RELEASES WERE UNDER 100 MINUTES: Anchorman, Napoleon Dynamite, Bad Santa, Wet Hot American Summer, Dodgeball, Borat, Elf, Old School, Step Brothers, Zoolander, Walk Hard, Mean Girls,

The "just fucking move!" one is a great juxtaposition to the first one, as people who suggest that all problems can be solved by moving are the kind of people who have the resources and support systems to move on a whim.

It's weird how Culkin has the face of Lindsay Lohan, but seems to have made it to adulthood mostly intact and with a good sense of humor. It adds an interesting layer to all of his endeavors.

I recall unfollowing a social justice-y person on Twitter around the time Almost Human (also cancelled and beloved by some) premiered, because he said he couldn't support a show where a black person played a robot, because that basically makes them a slave and supports white supremacy in science fiction.

Born in '88, so technically a millennial, though I don't think of myself as such.

STAR WARS is actually better than many other sci-fi stories in that three crucial roles (Vader, Lando, and now Finn) are voiced/played by black people, and it seems from all the prerelease stuff that Abrams made a point to include diversity. But the point stands that sci-fi is generally super duper white.

Well, a remake of VERY BAD THINGS would at least qualify as the preferred "remake a bad movie and get it right" style of remake.

WHEN PEOPLE DO STUPID SHIT IN THE BACKGROUND, OR SHOUT SHIT IN THE BACKGROUND, OR IN ANY WAY INTENTIONALLY ENTER THE FRAME AS A "GOOF" OR "PRANK," THAT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A BLOOPER. STOP GIVING THESE FUCKERS AN OUTLET BY PUTTING THEM IN THESE REELS.

Setting aside whatever you think about the movie, it's still so weird that we go years and years without getting new additions to the Christmas canon, and in 2003 we got three in a row (Elf, Bad Santa, this).

Nor did I. It makes sense though, since the one showing it here is right next to AMC's corporate headquarters.

So how long will the run be? The one in Kansas City is just down the road from my apartment, but I'll be at home until the 2nd. Does it end when it goes wide release?
