The list of directors who they are asking to direct the upcoming Twilight films is nearly that ridiculous: http://www.pajiba.com/trade_news/breaking-dawn-offered-to-oscar-winners.php
Agreed. People are terrible, and that is what gives this film its verisimilitude. I appreciated that there wasn't a quick and easy explanation as to why Kim is so fucked up--she had a drug problem before her brother died and the sexual abuse excuse ends up being a lie. No simple explanations here; she's just a fuck-up.
Also, Tunde Adebimpe's a cappella Neil Young cover is (a heart of) gold.
My aunts having been trying to get my mom to join Facebook, and my mom's all, "Why would anyone care to know that I just went to the grocery store?" THANK YOU, MOM.
WRONG. I learned so many life lessons from District 9:
-Never trust corporate executives or mercenaries (but I repeat myself).
-Don't assume that you can fly the spaceship. You will crash and burn.
-You can't run away from your problems, even in your high-tech robot suit.
And most importantly: Don't let the Nigerian warlord eat your arm.
Agreed - Peter Capaldi steals every scene he's in. Also: while this film was good in the theater, I will definitely benefit from a second DVD screening with subtitles. Goddamn Brits need to learn to speak American.
Yes yes YES on Frequency! Future Son and Past Dad fighting crime and saving Mom! Not to mention the part where Jim Caviezel speaks to himself as a child via time travel ham radio, which was, of course, activated by the Northern Lights. It's all one big bag of WHAAAAAAA?
I liked Rachel Getting Married too. But I look forward to this review, so that I can leave some of my mom's thoughts on the film in the comments. Example: "Why was everyone wearing a sari? Was someone in the ceremony Indian?" Oh Mom.
That's ignoring the fact that the filibuster has gone from a legislative rarity to a standard of practice. Votes on bills only require a simple majority to pass, but the constant threat of filibuster has ensured that either side needs 60+ votes to get just about anything done.
Most importantly: This Thursday MTV2 will be airing a 30-minute special on the making of this video. Because it will take a full 30 minutes to explain how they carefully crafted this autotuned hipster hellscape.
