It's not that he's an ass so much as that he's an ass that, when written by Whedon, sounds like a walking pop culture dictionary.

I agree with your assessment of Whedon, but I disagree specifically with Tony Stark...if there were a character that would be a walking pop culture dictionary it'd be him.The Third Man wrote:It's not that he's an ass so much as that he's an ass that, when written by Whedon, sounds like a walking pop culture dictionary.

siskel and ebert interview scorsese, spielberg and lucas back in 1990. lucas talks about CGI, they mention HD tv (as a threat to theaters), film restoration. they also talk about people who have their own video cameras and its "role" in movies and i couldn't help but think how cameras are now in phones and everyone has one.

"The World's End" was, of course, fabulous. Certainly the darkest film in the Blood and Ice Cream trilogy. I liked Pegg and Frost essentially switching roles for this one.
Here's an interesting analysis of the ending.

And after we bought tickets for that we snuck into "Jobs". It was that weird Apple cult vibe made into a movie.

Watching it again...i take it back. I really like this movie. Just something about it that I can't put my finger on, but just like it.cardsfantx wrote:just saw it (dredd) on netflix...i thought it was good.
not sure though how you could like this movie, but not like the other superhero movies out there (that people are complaining about here). it's basically the same movie as those....
no plot, bad lines, bad acting....but plenty of action and it was just fun in general. same as the other superhero movies out in the last few years.

Is there a reasonable explanation why 'Lee Daniels' The Butler' isn't called, I don't know, 'The Butler'? I hope so. Even James Cameron doesn't do that, and I think I read that he has those guys in robes with 6-foot trumpets announce his arrival everywhere he goes.
