Shyamalan will always be worse. (I can say that without having seen Oblivion.)
There's nothing wrong with the later discs (except for two scenes (I think one from episode 24 (?) and one from episode 27 (which, if memory serves me, always looked bad)).
So if your copy looks...
Decent article at hopelies.com features (unsurprisingly) Adywan and The Phantom Editor, but the writer has also seen and discusses the following:
The Usual Suspects – Flip Ya for Real by...
I agree that most of King's ideas look stupid on paper. Still, a few of them are stupid in book form as well, and this may be one of them. Time will tell.
While Doctor Sleep may be stupid, a...
Agreed. No big loss. They were amazing once, and made several of my favourite games of all time, but it's almost better that they get put out of their misery at this point.
Btw, nice (and...
Jesus, Origins was a monumentally stupid film. Hoping this is better, but I'm not holding my breath. The director is better this time, at least.
What never ceases to surprise me is how quite a few...
I also need to check out more of the comics. I've only read parts of what I think is now collected in Complete Case Files 03, specifically the issues around the Judge Death storyline. (This was...
Paglia has officially lost her marbles now. I used to really like her writing - her book on Hitchcock's The Birds, e.g., is excellent - but lately she's taken a contrarian stance on virtually...
One day history will prove me right: Showgirls is not a bad movie. It's a piece of intentional hilarity much like Starship Troopers in tone (only about burlesque dancers instead of a war on giant...
StuffIt Expander! Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. 10 years ago, it was ubiquitous. Every mac had to have it, partly because their proprietary .sit (which should have been called...
I don't know if it'll help with that, unless there's some reconnect magic going on in the background. It's basically an open source, bloat-free, prettier version of JDownloader, and that's enough for...
I have an HTPC I also use as a headless server for usenet and torrents, and because I've never liked the convoluted GUI of JDownloader or the spamware they try to bundle with it, I started looking...
This looks extremely cool! So many amazing scores. I'm watching Mission: Impossible (the 60s series) these days, and the score feels a lot fresher than the scores from the movie series. The Dirty...
Jerry Goldsmith's extremely short fake tv show theme Badge of Honor from his L.A. Confidential score is the greatest cop show theme ever recorded. Fact.
I agree completely. It takes you out of the movie, especially in a Nolan movie as he's a very flow-oriented director.
I think it's comic book silliness of pretty much the best variety. At least among the best I've seen in a comic book movie. Sometimes I feel comic book fans won't be happy until we see prostitute...
Cool!
Maybe I was being unclear, I wasn't talking about the RT/ARM devices. I'm talking about the powerful laptop hybrids running Intel processors. One of the Asus hybrids will even run an i7 processor,...
Oh, I agree completely. I just hate the DARKER, MORE SERIOUS paradigm with a passion. It's not limited to fanedits, sure, comics got the disease in the late 80s. I just wish it would die soon. I...
What Sunarep said. There are WAY more lighthearted moments in TDKR than even in Batman Begins - and this is GOOD. Yes, I'm serious on both counts. What's annoying is there's probably already a...
Actually, in the Verge article the author says he wants to buy an Intel/x86 Windows 8 computer, which is the desktop version of the OS. It's just that he wants to buy a "tab-top", i.e. a real desktop...
Interesting The Verge piece about Windows 8 from a former Apple fanboy.
I'm not trying to be arrogant or fanboyish, but I consider myself quite versed in the ways of nzbs and the like, and all the problems people experience here are new to me and sound really confusing....
The Village is so awful it's bordering on guilty pleasure for me. It's worse than The Sixth Sense, and therefore better (if that makes sense).
