Haha, snowflake! Bingo!

"Anywhere is walking distance of you have the time" is one of the greatest one-liners in the history of comedy.

Yes you did. You said that their relationship was consensual (it isn't) and that the fact that Pratt woke her up because he wanted to have sex with her didn't make his actions worse (it does), and you described his motivation for doing so as a "need" for physical intimacy.

…yes? I'm sorry, do you live in a dimension in which ruining a woman's life because she's pretty and you want to dick her is somehow acceptable? Or where a man's "need" for sex should dictate how a woman lives her life? Or where that sex can be considered consensual, even though she had no consent in being woken up…

And Why Am I Talking To Myself?

I know that at least Iain Banks's Use of Weapons does this, and that's just me, off the top of my head, as someone who reads very little spaceship-driven sci-fi.

Orson Scott Card said that Twister had one of the best screenplays of the 90's.

Agreed. I actually liked American abustle a lot, but I thought her performance was the worst one in the movie by a long stretch. Can't understand the universal praise she's received for doing solid, occasionally over-the-top work.

Goddamn, it really is their best script.

We're gonna be fine.

It's telling that the black actor in this movie, a guy who's been a star for decades, can act circles around Pratt, and made his debut in one of the greatest films ever made, doesn't have a part big enough to be mentioned in reviews.

If he didn't want to do her, he wouldn't have woken up a beautiful woman the same age as him.

When you work with David O. Russel, that's just common sense.

It sounds like he does the noble sacrifice, she tries to ressucitate him, it looks like all hope is lost, and then he wakes up.

Brandy's also the base spirit I use to make homemade Suze, an esoteric gentian root liqueur. The sweetness cuts the bitterness down somewhat and keeps it from tasting entirely like French Malort, plus it helps smooth out the vegetal notes. I highly recommend it, especially as no one else I drink with will touch the…

I will never touch E&J again, because a years-long college endeavor to fast and review all the bottom-shelf rotgut liquors I could turned the Gallo brothers into my hated nemeses. That said, it's definitely the best in its price range.

I'm just waiting for the inevitable gin-flavored vodka.

I would like to second all those things.

I never made the Besson connection before, but that's a really strong argument— Besson's artistic sensibilities coupled with Orson Welles's self-image. One of the things I find so fascinating about Cage is that he's clearly a film buff, but he seems to have such a limited pool of references. I could honestly buy that…

Glad to hear it! I've become something of an evangelist for the film. And yeah, I had the same feeling when the ending started, wondering if it was about to fall apart and then being so excited to see it stick the landing.
