For realsies -- I do not want Madeline Kahn's "flames ... flames on the sides of my face ... heaving ... heaving breath" replaced with Deadpool profanity quips. I enjoyed Deadpool but Clue is straight up perfection.

On the upside, I've never seen so many excellent "nope" gifs!

For a celebrity, in public, maybe. For the average workplace or the rank & file of the army, no.

I saw this on Friday and had reasonable hopes for enjoying it -- I was still surprised at how much I enjoyed it! Jack Black worked so well -- he gets not one but TWO good dick jokes in, for goodness sake! I'm not going to kill myself over the logistics of the time travel -- in the original Jumanji Robin Williams & Bonnie Hunt return to the start of their game and end up, presumably, preventing Kirsten Dunst and her brother from ever starting their game, thus creating a crazy causality loop if you really think about it. So by Colin Hanks returning, there's a causality loop that in how did the game end up in the high school basement in either timeline? But I'm not going to think about it.

That might be a bit of an overstatement.

Is the accused "reaching out" to the accuser actually something we want to happen? Unless that's "reaching out" by arranging communication through your lawyers and/or other representatives in public spaces, that seems like a terrible precedent to set.

True but there were also reports from the set of disorganization and erratic behaviour.

Did he run his mouth off or did he just suck as a director? A one hit wonder, if you will.

I would watch this three times in theatre.

This is hilarious. For fans of Notting Hill (or non-fans of Notting Hill). A live-tweet of Barry Jenkins (director of Moonlight) on a trans-Atlantic flight watching the British rom-com classic over the shoulder of a woman next to him. https://twitter.com/i/moments/948838316727824384

She didn't take over the common room -- she was in a vacant office that Hitchcock & Scully were using for naps.

Why do you hate reserved seating? I think it's so civilized -- I love being able to show up for a movie five minutes before the start and have a good seat, rather than having to plan to arrive early to stand in line to secure a decent seat. With the exception of rides at Disney World, I haven't done a 4DX theatre but I was appalled when I heard about it and continue to consider it absurd. A friend saw Wonder Woman and said it was like having the person behind you kick your seat for two hours. No thanks.

I saw all of them in theatre but only the second one in 3D (I generally avoid 3D screenings). When the first one came out, my friend complained about how cheap everything looked and I didn't understand what she meant but when I saw the second one in 3D I could barely concentrate on the story for how terrible the image looked. There were scenes where they were on a mountain and I swear to God it looked like they were in the scrub on the side of an LA parking lot. I know they were in New Zealand, probably literally on a mountain, and still the image looked like Faerie Tale Theatre. I couldn't understand it.

In Man of Steel around 22 minutes Henry jogs across a lawn shirtless - that's a good stopping point. Also, they've learned something by Justice League - they let him smile and keep him shirtless for extended periods. Also, I was pleasantly surprised by The Man From UNCLE with Cavill & Armie Hammer. They're both kind of blandly attractive but I'm not mad about it. Just FYI.

Wait - that seems to be by total budget, rather than the specific pay for the actor. Or am I misreading it? It seems a bit unfair to go by total budget for someone like Jackman, who is probably well paid but can't be on the hook for the total budget of every X-Man movie made.

That seems like a respectable opening for Ferdinand, considering.

I didn't particularly mind Gina in The Favour - although it does raise a lot of questions about the timeline of her pregnancy and the prison story that she only gave birth 10 weeks ago. But, where I'm from she's not only legally entitled to a space to pump but up to 52 weeks of maternity leave, so that C-plot was less about Gina being difficult than it was an indictment of America's anti-woman, anti-family labour practices.

Usually when someone is "compromised" it's because they've actually done something wrong, which can now be used as blackmail to force them to do more wrong things for fear of exposure. Holt didn't do anything wrong, Seamus cannot blackmail him. There is nothing other than Holt's word forcing him to do anything for Seamus. Holt can say no. Are we to believe that if Holt were in the position to choose between doing something illegal (and ACTUALLY compromising) or breaking his word to a mob boss he would choose the former?

But WHY does he owe him a favour? Holt hasn't done anything that Seamus can hold over him for leverage - if Seamus asks for something illegal he can say no.

I loved the episode but one of the things I've always been confused by with the Seamus thing is, how is he compromised? Technically all he did was take a tip -- although the information was given with an understanding the Holt would reciprocate at a later date, it's not like Holt actually did anything illegal that Seamus is holding over him, right? Taking a tip isn't a crime.

I wonder if she's aware of his theory and/or what (if anything) was said between them.

There's a lot there.

The unfortunate implication of that is that it requires thought to identify women as autonomous human beings, rather than that being the baseline understanding of the world.

"Are you erasing the word controlling while we kiss?" I LOVE THIS SHOW.

What is that photo?
