    Look, the absolute highlight of the Martian though was.
    Having Sean Bean in it.

    And have him be the crew supervisor, and as such put him in a lot of the big meetings.

    Like the meeting that Rich Purnell named, "the council of elrond".

    Which is funny enough by itself, but the icing on the cake is that everyone agrees not to tell them about the Rich Purnell manoeuvre. But he doesn't, be betrays them all, again.

    I was cackling in the cinemas over that, knowing what was going to happen.

    I just watched Unfriended and I think I know why they do this

    when you don't you get this weird thing where the character stares at a sentence for like A REALLY LONG TIME before they move on to the next shot, because the director isn't sure how fast everyone in the audience can read

    if they read it out loud its assured everyone will get the information

    There's certainly a good reason to do it but it still feels incredibly cumbersome and unrealistic.

    Which is why everyone should just set their movies in the near future where Siri/Cortana reads everything to you. Star Trek already taught us all that computers speaking to you is the future.

    I just busted out laughing at this at work. I never would have made that connection on my own.

    I never read the book but i really like the movie.

    Going to read the book when i have some free time.

    I got nothing for you now. Try again later.

    I think the most laugh out loud instance of this was back in Buffy season 1 when Willow was cyber-dating that demon AI. God that was just so ridiculously goofy.

    Four-time Oscar®-winning filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen (No Country for Old Men, True Grit, Fargo) write and direct Hail, Caesar!, an all-star comedy set during the latter years of Hollywood's Golden Age. Starring Josh Brolin, George Clooney, Ralph Fiennes, Tilda Swinton, Channing Tatum, Scarlett Johansson, Jonah Hill and Frances McDormand, Hail, Caesar! follows a single day in the life of a studio fixer who is presented with plenty of problems to fix.

    Best to stick with the ol' computer screen is somehow projecting the info onto the characters face routine.

    one of the Fahrenheit 451 movies has the credits read to you instead of having them written down. Because in the future books are gone, so really words have gone too.

    This was to illustrate the loss of information that happens with the loss of text. The credits take about 25 minutes to go through.

    The only things I remember about Season 1 of Buffy is those wolf-kids eating the principal and Buffy dying at the end of the season. After that my brain just autoskips to the build-up to Angellus.

    Like

    Maleficent I kinda get since she has always had a following and intriguing backstory implied that I'm aware of

    But Cruella is an evil fashion designer that wants to make clothes out of puppies

    Do we really need to see her origins

    if they can have it make sense I'd love to see it, especially since in the original novel she's literally at least part-demon. just don't make it the horrific mess that Malificent was.

    I heard a really great pitch for a film called Mayweather, about a washed up navy officer (no pun intended) who takes one last job and ends up getting swept to Neverland and becomes Captain Hook.

    Did Burn After Readying bomb? That's a bummer, I absolutely love that movie. Though I can certainly see its type of humor not working for a lot of people
