Frozen is now the 3rd highest grossing movie in Japanese history, trailing only Spirited Away and Avatar.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Batman was the best part of the Lego film, imho. Such a douchebag  :lol:

I watched the Fargo film.
It was OK.

:yes: Will Arnett's deep voice is vastly superior to Christian Bale's. And I couldn't help but think of Arnett's 30 Rock character which just made it even funnier.

It was an amazing parody of Batman tropes and memes.

Watching that Orange is the New Black show - is it just me or are lesbians seriously over-represented here? Are gay people really so much more criminally inclined?
And I'm not just talking situational lesbians here. But actual gay women as seen from flashbacks and what they say.

agree, more tits for ratings and the piper character's arc seems to have been completely separated from the rest of the prison. If she hadn't been there we wouldn't have missed her. This show no longer has a narrative arc worth watching, just sincerely interesting and captivating portrait pieces about characters.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

So it's not the Mature Michael we hoped for, huh?  Bummer.
If that is what you seek, watch Pain&Gain.

Cool.  I'll check it out.
It will appear as a silly movie, with over-the-top sillyness and stupidity in the plot, but you will have to remember one thing: this movie is based on real events and features the action as it happenned according to the trial notes.  So all these people too stupid to be real were all real.

:P

I was kidding, I wrote a whole piece about it and it was my second favorite movie of 2013.  I own it and I've watched it four or five times.

That said, it's far more loosely based on the true story than Bay, Markus, and McFeely keep insisting (however enjoyable that insistence is).

The Leftovers. Kind of interesting set-up. Post-apocalyptic without the apocalypse. It lets the show go overboard on the psychology, but without the excitement of a typical post-apocalyptic scenario.

There were some interesting hooks: 2 different cults, feral dogs, a spin-the-bottle game with "burn" and "choke" options, however this show does risk becoming boring once viewers have settled in.
