As were almost all of the Pirates movies. The man desperately needs someone willing to pare down his work— he hasn't made a film that wasn't bloated and rambling since 2005.

The first trailer made a bizarre song choice, killing the atmosphere, and the movie seems to be a whole bunch of creepy imagery without much going on in the way of narrative or character. The horror imagery to me seemed to be going down a checklist of scary things, rather than serving a larger purpose. Additionally,…

I believe so, yes. The difference is that Creep actually has a melody and lyrics that can carry that approach. I love the Ramones, but they were borderline-illiterate cavemen, and trying to infuse that song with gravitas is just comical.

Teaming up with racist propagandists is still a step up from the trailer that used a spooky ethereal female vocal version of "I Wanna Be Sedated."

Having finally seen it, I agree. There's a lot of shots that have really beautiful, understated cinematography— the camera peering between the cell bars, panning back and forth behind the slats, immediately leaps to mind as one of the most interesting shots of the year. It's more understated than the films that…

I think, though, that an Academy voter who's making their choice for political and social reasons is also going to vote for the film that's been in critical discussion the most and has been held up as the example of great black filmmaking the most often

Except La La Land is just not as good as several of the other movies, as opposed to being outright vile.

Given his lack of empathy, he could be a would-be killer, and I'd recommend we run.

It's a real shame. The Odd Couple is one of the best pop albums of the 2000s, but not only is Cee Lo a creep, the "I'm a freaky predator who you should be scared of" motif is all over his music. I can try to separate the art from the artist in most cases, but the "dark and twisted monster" artistic persona turned out…

He changed it to honor France not extraditing Polanski.

So it's like a Gnarls Barkley thing, but solo? Gee. I wonder what could possibly make Danger Mouse not want to work with him. I wonder what it could be.

It went through the festival circuit, but the only way to see it is to order a copy from his website (which is pretty pricey for the movie you're getting).

My dream pick for Mann is honestly The Question. Urban samurai, professional loner, paranoid genius, and an ordinary man enmeshed in a web of technology and data? It would be beautiful.

Mike Pence is all about doing way instain mother, so that checks out.

She is worst song, played on ugliest guitar.

He really, really can't, actually—Neighbors is almost unlistenable. The Room just had a six million dollar budget and was able to throw money at overqualified production staff.

Which is pretty hypocritical from a guy who "can't date chicks who haven't figured out their orgasms." Apparently it's not okay if they need a man's help with that.

For real. Even Landis's not-terrible Hollywood projects have been a Bourne parody, an adaptation, a creepypasta, and Basically Akira.

They should do a Max Landis prequel.

Mm-hmm. I'm sure the writer of Victor Frankenstein, Mr. Right, and Me Him Her would have delivered a quality product.
