Holy God of Television, Twin Peaks is back, with Lynch and Frost on board.

Oh wow.

Heh, just saw on "on demand" that a movie version of Joe Lansdale's Neo-Texas Noir novel Cold in July was released this year.

Rotten Tomatoes gives it a positive rating - 85%. Though it bombed at the box office.

I'll check it out when I have a chance. Lansdale's a favorite of mine.

The Wolf of Wall Street is really good, just also really long (and it's kind of fucked, tonally, too).

It's a pretty good movie for the insight on Jordan Belfort.  You can see clearly from the beginning that it is based on his books, on his interpretation of the facts.  Everything is blown out of proportion and he always portrays himself as the good guy.

What?! That is awesome. I guess I'll have to watch the original again to refresh my memory. When does it come out?

Thanks for the heads up guys, I'll give the film a viewing.

Tron: Legacy is chock full of character. It's a fathers and sons (and daughter) tale. FFS.

There is a father and a son in it.
Same holds for Goldilocks and the Three Little Bears.  There is a Papa Bear and Baby Bear.

[The Brain]

Yeah yeah it's awesome we get it.

Two sons.  Did you even see the movie?

And even if it didn't have a neat, mythic story (though it does), cinema is also about, you know, images and feelings?  Maybe you should consider treating it as an art rather than as a mere sequence of exhibits dryly relating a narrative.

Images and feelings?  Dude it like messed up my zen.
Now the laser light planetarium show has great images (the universe!) and feelings (the awesomeness of creation, humanity's cosmic insigificance).  And the Museum of Natural History has great sets.  if they could just nail down costume design it would be Oscar City.

Tron: Legacy did have some bitchin' costume design.

Godzilla whipped Pacific Rim's ass, and Godzilla was a significantly flawed motion picture.

Both parts of that statement demonstrate your total lack of movie reviewing qualifications.

I had started watching Pacific Rim but my bowels liquified due to the Ebola it induced, and I had to stop watching it.

You can go to hell, too.
