Obviously, this movie’s fatal flaw was not giving Depp a stupid hat to wear.

A “democratically elected socialist government”? Sounds like something that needs overthrowing by fair means or by foul. A “reign of terror” is the very least such things need to get answered by.

Guess it’s time to polish up my résumé!

Okay, I’ll bite. What does being in a right-wing death squad pay?

Be right back, using up a Cards Against Humanity blank for “Theater Kid Turned Steampunk Cosplayer.”

No, she was Max Headroom’s sidekick.

Between Phillips’s target audience and this one’s, that makes a pretty solid starter list of “people who should’ve been sent to military school.”

He’s not lying about Baby Doll. Tennessee Williams wrote the screenplay, and nothing ol’ Tom ever wrote before or since topped it for implicit, fleshcrawling sleaze.

Yeah, I was stuck playing Ursula the one time my friends broke that game out. Can confirm. 

Jimmy’s always had a rat’s instinct for abandoning any sinking ship he finds himself in. I very much fear that what’s left of Kim’s highmindedness and drivenness will cost her now that she’s chosen his kind of life.

I don’t think it’s mostly about revenge for what Kim’s becoming. She’s mainly focussed on making a big kill now. And when choosing your mark ... well, it’s not necessarily personal, but if it’s got to be somebody, it might as well be someone with a history of treating you poorly and underestimating you.

Maybe not. But, to agree with your original post, I think any of the actors who’ve played Batman so far could’ve risen to the occasion perfectly well if his director had only wanted to explore the character more. But so far, only Nolan has to any great extent.

“Gluttony”?

Your last paragraph is right on, though I’d make an exception for Bale. What’s more, in the rest of the cases, I don’t know if it’s necessarily any inherent weakness in the character, or if it’s the director’s lack of interest. (I think Burton would’ve happily left Batman out of his movies altogether if “Batman” wasn’t…

It’s because there is no way in Hell that a guy like Saul gets out of a gunfight alive without help. If there was gunplay, and Saul’s still standing there, then Lalo knows something doesn’t add up. I doubt you last very long in that line of work without being incredibly alert—even if only subconsciously—to…

When I was 16 and riding home from seeing Octopussy, my parents were in weird, emphatic unison about Maud Adams: “She has such an ugly mouth!” I had not been aware until then that having an attractive/unattractive mouth was actually a thing. Actually, I still don’t really think it is ... unless, I guess, you’re in…

I’ll always have a soft spot for Moonraker because it was the first Bond film 12yo me ever saw, and the second ever PG movie I was allowed to go to the theatre to watch (SW being the first, natch).

Can the long-anticipated McMillan & Wife reboot be far behind?

To get the right Princess Daphne, they’re gonna have to turn the casting room down to 40°. 

Maybe ,,, but I’d say it’s more that Kim has two sides to her personality—both of which she’s very true to, but which are incompatible in the end. I think she loves her Mesa Verde job at the same time she hates it, and wants to do it well ... and not just because of its perks, either. It’s as real a part of her as…
