Gravitas Shortfall posted:Edgar Wright films are full of dialogue that predicts the plot of the film, but my favourite is Shaun of the Dead, where Nick Frost's character "Ed" casually describes the entire plot of the movie to the titular Shaun. If you were talking about any other filmmakers, I'd say you were reaching massively, but I can completely see this being the case with Wright/Pegg. God drat.

VoidBurger posted:Honest question, because I personally don't understand the critique: How is Cabin in the Woods smug? Is there a specific smug thing about it that I never noticed? I think it's fairly relatable and has a fun (love-letter-to-the-genre style) spirit to it, so I don't understand where the smug allegation is coming from. I know a lot of people who severely dislike the movie, and they're all coming from the same place, so my answer has to be "because some horror dorks are easily butthurt". One of my closest friends described Goddard and Whedon as "loving parasites" for mocking his precious genre. I'm not gonna claim the movie's an expert, scholarly deconstruction on genre tropes or anything but hey, this ain't Funny Games, it's a fun, entertaining movie with a ton of clever parts.

I remember reading lots of press stuff around the time the movie was coming out and I'm sure Snyder said that that scene was literally the very final thing they cut and that it was a gut-wrenching decision.

The three posts above are all about the latest episode of Breaking Bad, by the way. The post above them was too but I still don't know that it's super obvious

martinlutherbling posted:2. I'd still argue that it's pretty subtle. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid came out like 30 years before Mallrats, and I'd argue that most of the 14-20 year old target audience of Mallrats hadn't/still haven't seen Butch and Sundance I didn't know about it!

I hope it is a troll cause this sentence is beautifully stupid: Sponge Baathist posted:If we're talking about Fargo talk about the movie it was a movie first and not everyone watches TV. Also Super is one of the lamest most faux-edgy films I've ever seen. WHOA the GIRL rapes the GUY dudes check it cause if people really wanted to be superheroes they'd be CRAZY and SICK cos REALISM

It’s called Locke, and it’s by the creator of Peaky Blinders, an excellent British show which unfortunately doesn’t have Olivia Colman (yet)

I think she was the villain in Matt Smith’s first episode. I never heard anything about her being offered the role or turning it down either.

Moffat and Chibnall are both pretty terrible, but at least Moffat’s stuff occasionally had some semblance of personality.

Remember when Moffat literally put the title of the show as the big ending moment of a season finale
