This is probably the best smash cut in any film (granted, it works better when you've sat through the previous hour of context and build up) Best-looking film ever, if you ask me.

Was Dr. Frankenfurter one of the first major examples of an openly bisexual character in film? I'm even having a hard time thinking of other openly bi male characters, but I haven't watched too many movies.

Man, the Hellboy trailers so far are not super-promising.

I'm even having a hard time thinking of other openly bi male characters, but I haven't watched too many movies. Sunday Bloody Sunday had one, and predates RHPS by a few years. Cabaret also has a bisexual character, although he might not be considered openly bisexual by today's standards (but it's been awhile since I've seen the movie).

Cabaret also has a bisexual character, although he might not be considered openly bisexual by today's standards (but it's been awhile since I've seen the movie). I just watched it again today! Cabaret technically has two bisexual characters. As in, it has a tangled love triangle with two men and a woman and everyone is having sex with everyone. I'd say one of those characters is definitely not openly bisexual. The other, more major, one... I'll give that a qualified yes. Maybe. "Open" as in he talks about it with the only two characters we see him having meaningful relationships with. Of course, everyone ends up miserable at the end of that movie, so it's not exactly what I'd call a positive depiction of bisexuality. Although, given that the movie is depicting how art, decadence and sexuality are being crushed under the weight of the growing strength of the Nazis, the more secretive nature of the characters is understandable.

Strange things are afoot at the Circle K. I'm betting the title will be changed to Bill & Ted's Unprecedented Expedition.

Also, the 2004 Hellboy is fondly remembered mainly because it came out during the cultural dark age of the early aughts. I can see how it hit all the right buttons at the time (and watching it last year I was very much reminded of that cultural moment), but I think itβs only aged into a kind of okay movie.

Even as someone who really likes Watchmen and actually enjoyed BvS for the weird mess it was, Snyder is definitely making it hard to really give a shit that he got fired from Justice League. The dude just fundamentally doesn't get regular superheroes(I can see why he was so drawn to Watchmen now). I still feel a bit of sympathy for him in that Warner Bros. basically used the suicide of his daughter as a way to get him off what is seeming like his dream film, but man the dude is insufferable about his "vision".

I'm still debating seeing Us, because I like Peele's work but I hate horror films. I made it through Get Out with only moderate amounts of terror.

Punch-Drunk Love fits the actual definition of postmodern art, unlike the many films that get called postmodern because they have long tracking shots or artsy visuals

I hate the new guy's voice. Ron Perlman at least sounded like a hellboy should sound, the new guy sounds like a redneck softball coach

Disney said they are taking a break from Star Wars movies after episode IX. It has only been 4 years since Force Awakens came out. 4 years and they already feel like they have to take a break. Fucking absurd.

Five movies in four years, at least one of which didn't do too well comparatively (Solo), yeah, time for a break.

What a shock that a movie that looked really shitty from the trailers is, in fact, really shitty.

Duel, one of my personal favorite movies, is free on youtube apparently.

What if Sonic doesn't plan on wearing the pile of sneakers in his den, but simply subsists off of old shoe leather

Seen elsenet and paraphrased because I don't remember the exact quote:
The best way to tell if a movie qualifies as "science fiction" is to gender-swap the protagonists and see if a bunch of MRA idiots get their genitals twisted in a rage over it.

I suppose Deadpool 3 will copy the second one's complaints about being ripped off by Logan, in complaining about Avengers: Endgamealso having time-travel shenanigans.
