The place where I'm getting married had the DJ in the contract, as did several of the other places I looked. I have no idea how good he is, but he asked us right away "give me your absolute yes list and absolute no list, your first dance, etc." so I'm optimistic.

Hamlet 2 is amazing and I can't believe it never developed a cult following. I mean, I can, because an extremely specific parody of inspirational teacher movies and high school theater was never going to be big, but still.

I will ALWAYS sing Cool Rider if it's in the book at karaoke night. No points for guessing that it played best at a gay bar.

Oh, I don't disagree - I've seen a couple 70mm things and been blown away. It's just the pre-release cycle on the ones that get semi-wide release gets to be a bit much.

You can always tell a critic who hasn't lived away from a coast in years when they make posts like "So many good movies this weekend! Go see (three movies that are playing on two screens in NY and LA)!" and "Why isn't anyone talking about (movie that never played outside major cities and you wrote 15 articles and 300

Thanks for getting through the review without telling us "if you don't see Dunkirk in (x format), you're a sack of human shit who didn't see the movie properly." Film Twitter: still the worst sometimes.

Fun fact: 3 of the 5 people in that sketch are dead now!

Well, this certainly answered the question "are they going to attempt to get an audience outside the cult?" with NOPE.

That's how the trailer is cut, since you can't say jugs in trailers.

Liar Liar isn't the best of Jim Carrey's 90s output (that would be Dumb and Dumber, a movie I would easily put among the funniest ever made). But it's definitely the most "oh, this is on TBS, guess I'm stuck here until it's over" of his movies.

Patriot's Day also introduced these two, and then forgot about them until the end so Mark Wahlberg as Boston Jack Bauer could pointlessly be present at every major event in the timeline, and deliver some AMERICA FUCK YEAH dialogue over a montage of them crying.

This piece, in a larger abstract sense, is about how a story always ends with both/either narrative closure or thematic closure, and my great irritation: people who are terrified if it ends without the former. This is why we get endless thinkpieces about whether the top stopped spinning, what Bob whispered in

There's a million reasons that it's great. Here's two:

Basically, "time culls the herd." An analogue is the post-Pulp Fiction Tarantino knockoffs/ripoffs/homages/whatever. There were a billion of them, and the ones that were genuinely good stuck around, even if critics/audiences didn't recognize them at the time.

Also true. The sense of disappointment is greater with a bad Pixar movie, since they set the bar so high. But really, TGD were just kinda there. I felt nothing while watching it, I forgot it immediately, no harm no foul.

I count The Good Dinosaur as a mulligan, since it was a troubled production that cycled through several directors, writers and voice actors. It's one of their worst, to be sure, but it's bad because of outside factors.

To give them a very, very, very small credit/benefit of the doubt, there was another season where a guy was getting drunk and dudebro-y and violent on the first night, and they sent him home before the bachelorette even came out to meet them.
