I've never heard of somebody getting so "hostel" about a trip to Europe.
This is the slipperiest of slippery slopes.
Anthony Hopkins is like a demon spawn of Colonel Sanders and Fire Marshall Bill in this movie.
I agree, Craig Robinson had me lots-of-love-ing.
I didn't know birds were made out of match heads.
Katherine Heigl strikes me as that girl you knew in high school, the one who already had names for her kids picked out, who lost her middle school pudge and got herself a sadsack boyfriend, was elected to prom court because she worked oh-so-hard organizing it, picking out balloon colors and making sure that "Here's To The Night" was the prom song, then she's off to college, where she does beer bongs off the roofs of frat houses and puts on the freshman fifteen, gets herself a gym membership and works off that fifteen and fifteen more, then decides, after taking Intro to Theatre, that she will go into acting, joins some local playhouse that stages performances of RENT in an old barn off-campus, then decides, once famous, to burn every goddammed bridge she crosses over using the flames of the sexism card, of shitty movies, of BEING YOUR GIRLFRIEND.
I feel like Tim Burton sometimes skates by only because he's Tim Burton. The weirdness in his movies is almost like a crutch more than something that enhances the movie. Outside of Pee Wee, Ed Wood, and Big Fish (which are all absolutely fantastic movies), he doesn't really evolve or change or attempt anything different. This looks like it will be no exception.
You didn't ask the most important question: When is the lake house? Get Faraday on this.
Is it just me, or does that guy look like Jonathan Frakes?
I'm pretty pleased with the nominees overall (and lack of Piven), but Eastbound and Down and Anna Gunn from Breaking Bad were pretty badly snubbed. That, and the whole Family Guy thing, of course.
Great video, though I'm disappointed that we shall never get closure on that Minesweeper game.
I only have one query for you: do you feel fortunate?
It's funny to make fun of disaster movies, but remember, "The Towering Inferno" was nominated for BEST FUCKING PICTURE back in 1975. With the expansion of that category starting next year, who knows? We may yet see Roland Emmerich win one!
I've heard the couple songs his band has released, and they're actually pretty good. Kind of Arcade Fire-y. Let's just say, his songz are better than his metaphorz. But fuck listening to something before making a judgement about it. That shit is for pussies.
This is actually a remake of a pretty-good Danish flick called "Brodre". So I guess, in a way, it is pretty unoriginal.
"Romantic dramedy"? That's just code for a movie about how tough it is to be white, again, right?
I feel like all of Noah Baumbach's movies are ones that you finish watching and rarely think about ever again. They just sort of happen. This is an actively terrible fucking movie though. The point you made with The Royal Tenenbaums is a valid one, too, because that was a movie that dealt with suicide, drug addiction, and death in ways that cut across any ethnic or economic backgrounds. If you were to encounter any of the Tenenbaums in real life, you'd probably find them interesting. The characters in Baumbach's movies, however, are insufferable assholes.
The Day After the Day After Tomorrow
I feel the same way now that I did after making the mistake of taking a class on race in modern rock music: irritated that race has to be brought into damn near everything. Yes, the depictions of women and minorities in "The Hangover" were, let's just say, not very accurate. But that's the nature of the beast that is comedy. Humor comes from unrealistic characters doing unrealistic things. Even something as grounded in realism as The Office gets laffs from going off the tracks of everyday expectation. How about 30 Rock. Though he's one of the best characters ever, Tracy Jordan often gets laughs for suddenly saying something reasonable and intelligent, and it's a crutch that the show tends to lean on too often. Is that not an unrealistic depiction? I'm just operating under the assumption that future cultures won't be basing racial studies on frat comedies and sitcoms, or on movies featuring white families going through crisis (which never, ever happens in real life, by the way, that shit is always a bed of roses). Just let funny be funny. Also, that t-shirt fucking sucks.
May I recommend "Revolutionary Road" because it was melodramatic, terrible, and featured Michael Shannon playing a crazy person with a lockjaw voice.
I agree that it may not be the best of examples for young women hoping to break through in Hollywood, but I feel like this particular film won't be seen by a wide enough audience to really cause any sort of mass misconception about the Hollywood dream.
As lul-worthy as it is, you've really started to grasp at straws for reasons to play Narc School. Also, I'm sure we'll find out why Locke is going to kill Jacob because that's usually how cliffhangers work: if you're not sure why something is happening, chances are they'll explain why in the next episode. But I suppose not every show can be about housewives in some soulless part of the country, so therefore not every show can be fantastic.
I think people like NOM need to realize that marriage doesn't necessarily have anything to do with religion; you could go down to city hall and get a marriage license, it's just a piece of paper. NOM's very lucky that the gay dude that happened to be involved in this is just about universally reviled. They're unlucky in that THEY ARE BIGOTS.
Ann Arbor is where the DeGroots, the people that started the whole DHARMA thing, teach and have headquarters, so it does make sense that Faraday would've gone there. Big experiment-type things like DHARMA tend to, even in real life, have roots in major universities. Also, RIP Twitchy.
Do you guys ever ride horses, or just beat them after they're dead?
The best part of the trailer has to be the CG-eyes.
They're a couple that has lots in common, like necks that don't move and non-corporeal asses. They can love however they want!
So, lemme get this straight: enjoying a movie like this or The Room is fine, but looking forward to Away We Go isn't? Making fun of hipsters for ironically liking things while ironically liking things is cool? I'm not coming to the defense of hipsters, they are quite douchey, but I just was worried about everyone getting all Hypocritical-When-It-Comes-To-Movies-Being-Judged-Solely-On-Their-Trailersgum.
