In the Stallone department, Rocky Balboa (the 2006 one) is a brilliant, brilliant, movie. I also enjoyed his recent Rambo, but not as much.

I have never seen UP so I am not sure I get it... do you mean a scene that makes the audience realize something very sad happened by showing the consequences of it rather than the act itself?

Don't forget:http://greatgatsbygame.com/

I think the ending works because it resonates with their conversation before the climb (a couple against the world) and with the symbolism of their relationship (South meets North). It's also an opportunity to end on a more positive note after Ros' death (what a terrible trajectory for this...

The award thing is an interesting lead to answer the original question. There are 91 directors that got nominated for the academy award for Best Director. 27 of those got nominated more than three times. Eight more than five. Scorsese, Allen and Spielberg are in that club with seven nominations...

Not really: you can't run for president.

Was it back on FoH or on the short lived thing between FoH and RR? Anyway someone posted a list of the 'best directors' and JJ Abrams was in the top 10 or something. Now THAT was overrated.

After some google-fu it appears there is no blue GameCube, only indigo ones (the official name for their shade of purple). The crazy thing though is that if you GIS GameCube you will see that half of them are blue, but that's probably a colorimetry/white balance issue.

There were many colors!

People who call this a fight and turn it into some kind of scandal never saw a hockey match... Anyway... the Thunder might still have a shot if Martin and Jackson keep this up.

The multi-characters century-spanning story was an amazing idea that for some reason was almost never imitated. The sanity thing was a good idea too, but I felt the execution was a bit lacking. The thing is that there is a visible sanity gauge so when it's low you know that every three or four...

One of my best memory of GTAIV is taking a cab with by Jamaican buddy, not use fast travel (available on all versions of the game except Sean's super limited collector edition) and have car bump into us at the toll, making us break the barrier. Chaos ensured. The cab driver diligently tried to...

Because they don't have the option of paying nothing!

I know planes can flush their fuel (something about them being too heavy to land with a full tank). Isn't there a way to flush the cargo if things go south? Or would it be worthless in a case like this because the flushing mechanism would likely be fubar'd by the moving cargo?

Free multiplayer is a good thing the PS3 has going for it. A possibly clever thing (the jury is still out) would be to have both free and paying multiplayer that offer the exact same functionality, but have the two groups separated during online play. Basically, you can pay $5 a month to not...

I fear it will go all fantasy bullshit on us with the guys doing real magic. Doing real magic kinda kills the trick in magic tricks.

About the villains in super hero movies: the problem comes from the differences between the two media. In comic form, each super hero has hundreds of stories, which forces to reuse villains, which means they must be very powerful to survive the clash with the hero and come back later with a new...

I realize an unsurprising omission and in the name of a minority I shall correct it:The Matrix Reloaded. I don't just say it because of my love for kung-fu movies, but also because it took the Manichean universe set in The Matrix and added a lot of complexity to it, shades of grey, third...

Are you sure they did not registered it at the time of the RROD debacle?

Like hungry orphans?

Having both Durant and Westbrook on the floor makes it very difficult to defend against the Thunder as both have a large offensive arsenal. When Durant is alone, it's possible to keep him silent for long periods of time (like in the fourth quarter of game five), making the team a lot more...

A bit sad for Basel and the interest of the match that Chelsea chain scored right at the start of the 2nd half, because, at 1-0 for the visitors, everything was possible.

I don't know about the specifics for this here movie, but, as a general rule, music used in trailers is pre-existing music because, more often than not, the score of the movie is not done by the time the trailers must be completed.

This is not a super hero movie, it's a super-ego movie!

I don't want to turn the topic into Alien Wars (wuwu video game pun!), but I am ready to argue that Aliens is superior to Alien in both sci-fi and horror. What I will leave to Alien though (other than the cat) is that, to the best of my knowledge, it's the first Space Trucker kind of movie, that...

Maybe went to see the Arirang?

If you have a charismatic interviewee, having him/her retell the play and using still images to illustrate it could be a cheaper and still efficient way of doing things.

And read or watched Persepolis!

First thing that came to mind wasAliensand then...Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me Let us venture around the world and through time to add more exotic choices: Japan: Sanjuro: Kurosawa directs and Mifune stars, a duo that worked in many masterpieces. Here in a sequel of Yojimbo The...

Thanks for the link Pancreas!

I wonder what's up with the hexagon shaped turbulence they saw before being able to see the pole... an hexagon seems like a very weird shape for something involving fluids.

Do you suffer from some form of autism? Not all discussions are about being right. What's the problem with speculating what will come next in the show and debating about what could or should be in it and how? It's a fun intellectual exercise, it's a testament to the thematic wealth of the show...

No matter how you put it, the Barca played 6 matches in the knock-out phase for a grand result of three defeats, two draws and one win. Fun fact: the Borussia and the Bayern play each other in Bundesliga this week-end! Bayern already won the title and neither team will want to show their hand...

Oh. I read 'and' instead of 'as' in 'I fall a lot as I'm still adapting to sciatic nerve damage after a spinal injury.' Sorry for the blunder Archangel :/

You know what they say about broken clocks...

Madrid: Unlucky to not have scored in the first 15 minutes, lucky to not have taken a goal in the hour that followed and then a crazy finish but it was a tad too late and the injury of the Dortmund player allowed their team to calm down a little. Moral of the story: Don't play 30 minutes in a...

You fall a lot? Who falls a lot? Are you like... a rollerskater/skateboarder/BMX rider or someone with a neurodegenerative condition?

One of the core theme of the show is the evolution of society, the transition from the '50s to modernity. Left wing radicalism, boosted by anti-war protests and by the almost revolution of May 68 in France, rippled through the '70s all around the world and is an important component of this...

I think what is important is the flip side of the coin, that was already apparent before: Jaime takes prides in his abilities as a fighter, but through the seven kingdoms he is known for being the guy who killed an old insane man in the back. With his latest speech, it almost feels like he...

It's funny because I checked the cast the other day looking for the name of a supporting actress from season one and it made me realize we see the daughter often, but not the son. Glad they managed to do something with him. PS: Two months until Bobby Kennedy's death (one until May 68 events...
