It was funny when people complained about the Nyqvist and Cruise fight in that movie when they're pretty much the same age.
And Reeves is only about 3 years younger than Nyqvist.

I browsed one the other day and on a page Hitler was possessed by Mars, the god of war, and some american guy beat Hitler up so bad it cured the possession, then Hitler signed a peace treaty and said America was an ally now. Mars flew off into space to return another day.


Woah now, Jupiter Ascending was pretty baller. It needed about 20 minutes cut or added though. Gods of Egypt is great though, for a similar movie.

Are you kidding? That's what made it great! It was the pulpiest schlock I've ever seen and the fact that it was presented completely straight just made everything better. My audience was great too; there was this woman in front of me who gasped every time there was a dramatic moment or plot twist, and that just made everything so, so much better.

Tim Brayton of Antagony and Ecstasy reviewed Trumbo a while ago, and one of his descriptions of a certain scene made me laugh and laugh and laugh:

The poster for Trumbo was really funny to me because due to how wonky the colors and fonts were it looked like the tagline was "ARE YOU NOW OR HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TRUMBO" which is wonderfully nonsensical.

He went on a political bent for a while. Three of his four movies before Trumbo were The Campaign, and Recount and Game Change for HBO.

He's trying to toe the line and be James Cameron, but James Camerons are dying. I don't know what he's chasing, but that version of director is dead. If Mike is to sustain, he's got to get loving weird.

I saw the original Swedish movie, and disliked it. oooh, the big twist is a family tradition of Nazi murderers, so novel! This was definitely worth all the time, and the uncomfortable scenes of a tubby journalist and a goth girl gettin' it on.

This scene from Roy Anderson's You, the Living does a much better job of pointing out the crypto-fascism of the Swedish bourgeoisie than the entire Millennium trilogy

I mean, I think everyone has moments where they do "BPD-ish" things, though? The main difference with celebs like Shia and Kanye has always seemed to me that they're upfront about those moments, rather than hiding their weirdness behind a wall of publicists and press releases.

Or another prominent example, Taylor Swift, who is apparently this total control freak moonbat who does very well trading on a light as a feather image. She does the requisite driven modern woman image as well but she's no Streisand or Liz Taylor or whomever. Not to pick on her, but she's a very handy example.

There are like only 5 or so celebrities (not including the rapists or murderers) I can muster a dislike for and even then it's never hatred. People are people in and out of the spotlight.

We should all join hands and love one another except for Jared Leto, we can and we must relentlessly mock him.

I don't like Kanye because I hate to see a grown man throw a tantrum. It's really that simple for me, and I'm not arguing it should be the metric we all judge people by, but it's the absolute quickest way to lose my respect.

I've heard that he's into sleeping with underage fans, which has no genuine proof but I believe because of course he is.
