I want to read the article, but I am distracted by my own annoyance at actresses being photographed while awkwardly lying on the floor in skimpy clothes giving that come-hither-because-I'm-paralyzed look. Hate it!
Does anybody else find complaining about a film's FIRST WEEKEND GROSSES kind of endlessly tacky? As if there haven't been various films that score low numbers initially, before making huge bank in international, or through home entertainment venues, or even by-- GASP-- earning a high domestic multiplier. That maybe just MAYBE if you made a marginally entertaining and distinct product, it will eventually get a following, due to the basic mechanics of human attention and disposable income as they manifest in spacetime.
Basically, if dude needs instant gratification, maybe he should cram his face with marshmallows, just saying.
I remember back in the 80's when I was on the Videogum hotline with the winning Harrison Ford comment. Unfortunately, I lost all 10,000 upvotes when I couldn't answer through a mouthful of peanut butter.
While I doubt it was your intent, I couldn't help but feel that Carla's thought-bubble was making a sly reference to January Jones's car troubles; that Carla is, by extension, a TMZ-skimming Time Lord. Because obviously.
I feel like this latest bombshell has finally provided us the momentum we need to demand a new Betty Draper. That is the only way to spare ourselves from this person's garbage.
Of course we will need somebody at least as pretty and talented, who is almost DEFINITELY more fun to be around. May I suggest Andrej Pejic:

Just kidding, you guys. He's not a suggestion, he's an order.
As somebody who spent last night watching Nightmare On Elm Street 4, may I advise you NEVER to fall asleep in a men's bathroom stall. You will only end up stabbed to death, with your frumpy sister stealing your nun-chucks.
Basically, it's mistake city.
What is funny-- and weirdly comforting?-- is that so much Hollywood output can be explained by way of an industry-wide OCD diagnosis.
"Did we make that film? I feel like we maybe did! Maybe not, though?! Let's just make it now to be safe, in case we didn't!!! Actually let's make it two more times just so we are even!!! That'll be a wrap!!!
Then we'll move on to licking all these doorknobs.."

I like it because it is basically an applauding symbol of disapproval. Or, a perfect summary of my feelings about most of the internet.
"The Royal Tennenbaums" was sorta a flashpoint in my filmgoing adolescence. All my bright and interesting friends loved it and I could not understand why! The characters were like brick walls, I could not enter into them even a little.
The widescale fondness for Gwyneth Paltrow's character especially stung; it was my first glimpse of the idea that sometimes guys fall in love with girls even though you suspect there is no THERE there. Like love is just the pursuit of status signifiers?
So I guess I am saying the Tennenbaums is a really good introduction to those confused feelings of loneliness as a function of ones lack of correct posturing.
Disappointing. I was really hoping one of the workouts would be pretending to eat a horse's heart. That is the kind of exercise that would help me in my life while preparing to rule as the Khaleesi.
The fact the writer doesn't acknowledge that Ryan Reynolds has a much better complexion than Dane Cook pretty much renders his whole argument moot. #weirdsentencesihavewritten
GUYS, Asian Culture Club doesn't meet for another hour. Please find somebody else's homeroom to hang out in until then, some of us are busy trying to finish our frog dissections.
Maybe I am dense, but I do not know what looking at a sex offender registry would even accomplish. Like, I feel like I am already doing my best not to be raped by people? I don't know if I can commit any more hours to being not that.
ALSO something I have always wondered: when you're looking at the registry, are you able to differentiate between who is on there for doing bad stuff, vs. who is there for peeing against a wall in public or for having sex with their 15-year-old partner when they were 18?
Because if they are all lumped on there together, I would find that even less helpful! As opposed to before, where I merely found it not helpful at all.
RT @ebertchicago Friends don’t let human beings act under the pretense that they lack agency and that the responsibility of their actions ultimately lie with the other members of their social circle.

I refuse to suckle at the government's teat. That said, I am not really adverse to being held against its chest, while being gently rocked in the government's strong, manly arms.
To be fair, the statement becomes plausible if we assume that people who say we only use a small percentage of our brains are specifically referring to people like themselves who would ever say that.
