The excuse that he listens to music all the time was so lazy. Like, the first twenty minutes had all the care and attention, including the coffee shop delivery in time to the music. Then he was like “oh wot jeeves I still have another hour of run time? Oh bother”

Still totally worth the watch to see Don Draper and Django just chew the scenery at each other

After Inception came out and my friend and I both liked it he insisted that I watch The Prestige. I got around to it few weeks later and was really enjoying it until the reveal on Hugh Jackman’s side where even though I was by myself told the movie out loud to “eat poo poo.” For me putting in a duplication machine that actually duplicates Hugh Jackman breaks the rules of the movie. It was a perfectly fine movie about slight-of-hand and trickery, then out of nowhere that poo poo happens. It was like watching Casablanca then, instead of Rick, a talking dog helps them escape.

Also, for a movie about car chases, Baby Driver has an embarrassing lack.

Well goddamn, y'all. Challengers. Just an absolutely amazing movie. Somehow has both less sex and more sex than you would expect from the trailer. I don't think I've ever heard a movie soundtrack that so fully captured such an urgent and rage-filled sense of sexual frustration. Overall, the whole thing is a beautiful piece of art about the attempt to truly connect to one another.

For all that we complain about everything being sequels and remakes, it's nice to have a weekend like this, where a completely unique movie managed to open at number 1 in the box office.

Understandable, but it really does play into the movie's themes in interesting ways. A magician discovers actual magic, but he has to still make it seem like it's not actual magic or else people would freak out. The movie sets you up by teaching you all the psychology of magic tricks, and then this guy threatens to undermine the whole thing. Except the more traditional magician "wins" in the end, using a technique that's so obvious if you're thinking to look for it, but... "but you won't find it, because of course you're not really looking. You don't really want to know. You want to be fooled."

Yeah and Jackman goes to insane lengths to beat an obvious and simple trick, only to recreate the disappearing bird act seen at the very beginning of the film (ie the illusion of magic via a pile of dead bodies).

The sci-fi aspect may be impossible but it riffs off the imagined possibilities of invention at a time when science was changing the world. And, y'know, Bowie as Tesla. C'mon.

Stylistically and thematically I think it's one of Nolan's stronger films, along with Memento and Inception.

I took a tour of the seized Iranian embassy to rent, with the State Department as landlord. I had to pretend and represent like some kind of non hosed up Fraternity (it was just a hosed up Fraternity).

8 car garage. 2 BBQ pits on the roof. Great location in DC. Would recommend.

For some reason I was thinking today that it's surprising that they haven't remade The Running Man yet.

If they did, I could see Drew Carrey being good in the Killian role.

I’ve never heard that term before either, are they when both parents hyphenate the name for the kids? Often the child actors just have their middle name in there instead, dunno if that is different.
