Spidey Freak

I never got the complaint against tried and tested franchises getting new instalments. Just because it is familiar and comforting does not automatically make it inferior or unimaginative.

Dayum. Jinx!

That's the reason dem Mighty Morphin Rangers shouldn't be written off completely.

Well, the fight scenes were really good and as we've discussed before, goodwill for the show guaranteed it would never be an outright flop no matter what.

Yeah, Spongebob is Nick's Mickey/Minions. They even have a Potter style epic universe in ATLA. Just needs a brilliant reboot and people will forget all about the previous aberration that must not be mentioned.

Lol the comic made Zuko's mom the stealth villain of Avatar for screwing over all the other members of her family and setting them on to the path of hot mess.

Enlighten me, why the hate for Rothman?

Didn't Riseborough put a fork in their relationship once she announced she wasn't pregnant? The Watts/Riseborough kiss was just two lonely women turning to each other for comfort and self-validation. It was hilarious in the way it scared off the manchild that was Norton's character. Other than Inarritu's willful ignorance of the potential of the superhero/blockbuster genre clouding his perception and the writing team's general cluelessness about the why's and how's of art criticism, there is nothing wrong with this film. A- on an objective level, D- on a personally biased Inarritu level.

You should. And it's so much more than "cute". In my Top 3 Ghibli with Mononoke and Totoro.

Seems like there was not much consensus allowing the Nolanites their win. Seriously 2014, weak ass!

I agree that the House system is a stereotyped mess. I'll break the mouldy old hat because I'm Divergent!!

Mehcad Brooks from True Blood, Unnecessary Roughness cast as Jimmy Olsen This is awesome. He had excellent chemistry on True Blood.

Who has the rights to The Brood? They were introduced in X-Men books I think but they've been a major foe for the Avengers as well. Think the Brood Queen would make a great villain for the Captain Marvel movie. Very Ripley vs. Alien Mother.

I actually think an X-Men television show by Fox would be pretty excellent, especially if focused on the younger mutants studying at Xavier's. Buffy meets Freaks and Geeks with a touch of Glee.

For a sec I thought Maisie wasn't wearing anything beneath the outer red dress and all WTF were her parents and stylist thinking?

The X-Men lend themselves beautifully to a tv show format, so why not?

Well, if Gone Girl hadn't gotten snubbed and if Unbroken and Interstellar hadn't disappointed quality wise and received BP noms (along with Into the Woods), then the picture would have been quite different.

Yeah, that's what I assumed was the reason for Jim's absence in the final stretch of the movie (even when I didn't know Olivia left him as well). He was pretty inconsequential to Mason's coming of age process, therefore reduced to a mere footnote. I love that the movie actually reflects the truth of people who seem irreplaceable or pretty significant at one point of time in your life become a complete no show later on despite affecting you in a big way (Bill and to a lesser extent, his kids), some people never have much of an impact on you and their presence in your life diminishes entirely (Jim) and there are some people who may not seem to have much of a visible impact on your life and who may seem to be just passing acquaintances but they will always come through for you when you need them the most or even when you least expect it (Olivia's friend Carol who not only provided the family shelter and protection from Bill but also arrived with her daughter to Mason's graduation party years later, much to his pleasant surprise). It just further adds to the authenticity of the movie in an unnoticeable and seamless manner.

I cannot remember Olivia leaving Jim or anything in the movie directly referencing their separation. However, the Wikipedia plot summary claims they broke up after Jim's confrontation of Mason over his late hours.

The re-reboot!

I can't believe Disney gave this a larger theatre count than Into the Woods! WTH Mouse?

I'm not sure The Princess Bride fits here. That's definitely the precursor to the live-action fairytale and I'd say Hollywood is pretty interested in expanding upon that genre, albeit shabbily. If they get a strong script, I could see it becoming big.

I just think it's dumb that '15 has to give Clunker '14 a champ by earning 99% of the movie's gross!

I still think it's ridiculous to consider AS as a 2014 flick.
