To be fair, Benjamin Button didn't work because it was in actuality an incredibly short story, not even close to book length. The whole movie was basically padding.
My wife and I want to start a family next year. We are terrified of our hypothetical child becoming an asshole. Like, how do you balance a kid between reading good books and texting on a fucking iPhone? Will my kid even be able to sit still long enough to read a book when from day one everything is instant gratification/communication? What if I don't buy my kid an iPhone when every other rotten goblin in the neighborhood has one? Do I risk my kid's social ostrization to make him or her a better person? These thoughts terrify me. One thing is for sure though, my kid WILL know classic rock.
Yeah I would say Dawn of the Dead and 300 are great little gritty genre movies. It's impossible to make a good Watchmen movie, but I think Snyder's version was a noble miss. I have not seen sucker punch because I am not in a pubescent fever dream. What about that owl movie? Anyone see that?
I agree with Bob, the Nolan factor will make this good. Chris is not about to splash his name across something he didn't have a hand in (ahem Mr. Tarantino).
I think Baz Luhrmann just ran out of poppers and couldn't finish directing the movie until he re-stocked. That's the only way I can make sense of his films.
As a Catholic, we take what we can get for progress. The pros is that the dude definitely lived a humble life before he was pope, is a Jesuit (thinkers, more progressive), and seems to have a strong interest in social justice. Also he is, at least technically, not a European pope. To wonder if a pope will come out in favor of gay marriage, abortion, or contraception is to wonder if the next pope will not be Catholic. It's just not going to happen. It's disappointing every time but not surprising. I hope that this pope concentrates his energies on the poor countries that have no oil (because the USA certainly doesn't), cleans house of all the corruption (at least sell those apartments next to the bath house), and just in general acts like a man of God and not a fucking prancing gremlin like the last one.
A friend of mine is studying film at UCSD (she's in her late 20s), and she was talking to all the pretentious young freshmen who were just spouting off about Eisenstein, Trouffat, etc. Finally they asked her what her favorite movie is, and said "The Godfather." None of them had seen it. In this case, to get mad at someone for not seeing arguably the best movie of all time, especially in film school, is pretty valid in my opinion.
Did anyone else LOL uproariously when Andy gave April the look like "No, don't worry, we'll totally fish the drugs out of the trash after everyone leaves."?
I've accepted that this show will be littered with logical inconsistencies. All silliness aside, this show is hitting the sweet spot for me: creepy cults and murderers, a weird mythology, and Kevin Bacon. It's pulpy and cartoony but I am really enjoying it so far.
This is just the next step of her master plan to move the entire world onto the "Goop" diet, which is a beige, synthesized protein paste that may or may not be made out of people.
The rock was most likely due to a bean sorting machine that sifts based on weight. The beans are sorted and bagged without much human interaction. I foud a rock in my bean and cheese burrito once too. This is the weird stuff you only learn after managing food services for a long time.
