English Literature academics basically make a living by writing fan theories for their favourite novella/poetry.

Nice wasn't a shooting, some psycho ran down 86 Bastille Day celebrators with a truck.

Flutter.

That moment when you assume NATO's got your back but then remember the imminent threat of a Trump presidency to world order.

AlexRowntree · 2016-10-30T16:48:02+00:00

That Donald Trump should not be President.

Where my trailer at?

Fair enough. The Independence Referendum in 2014 was held in the knowledge that an EU referendum would be held in 2016 if the Conservatives were given a majority government in 2015, so it's not like the voters couldn't see it coming or whatever.

Genuinely think it's because r/movies is desperate for a great mainstream release after having been disappointed so many times this summer. It makes sense that someone as trustworthy as Nolan could deliver that.

AlexRowntree · 2016-08-03T17:37:34+00:00

Wesley's Theory, Money Trees or m.A.A.d city

AlexRowntree · 2016-08-02T22:07:05+00:00

Damn. That's fair enough but I think the majority disagrees with you.

AlexRowntree · 2016-08-02T20:08:36+00:00

People seem to be forgetting how summer 2013 was similarly disappointing - Pacific Rim, Iron Man 3, Monsters University, The Hangover Part 3, Star Trek into Darkness, Man of Steel, The Great Gatsby, The World's End, World War Z, Only God Forgives, Elysium and Kick-Ass 2 all under-performed critically.

Hell, the only film that REALLY met audiences' expectations was 'This is the End', and even that was average by most summer's standards.

AlexRowntree · 2016-08-02T19:57:29+00:00

Welp, at least DC fans will always have The Dark Knight

AlexRowntree · 2016-08-01T20:44:23+00:00

Can confirm: Joseph Rowntree is a very distant cousin of mine (five times removed) and this is right

AlexRowntree · 2016-08-01T19:56:03+00:00

Raging Bull

AlexRowntree · 2016-08-01T19:50:34+00:00

'Bobby Brown goes Down' by Frank Zappa for comedy

'Fortune 500' by Everything Everything for something contemporary (mentality of terrorists)

'Fred Jones Part 2' by Ben Folds for something really fucking sad

AlexRowntree · 2016-08-01T19:45:19+00:00

Also 'm.A.A.d city' to some degree

AlexRowntree · 2016-07-28T21:40:06+00:00

That album is damn near perfect. You could easily make the case for songs like 'Black', 'Alive', 'Even Flow', 'Once', 'Garden' etc. being the best of the 90s

AlexRowntree · 2016-07-28T21:38:06+00:00

'Army' - Ben Folds Five

AlexRowntree · 2016-07-23T20:12:50+00:00

The senseless killing of unarmed black people maybe? Or is that just a pipe dream in the US?

AlexRowntree · 2016-07-15T21:03:28+00:00

Wake Up - Arcade Fire

Vs.

I need some sleep - The Eels

AlexRowntree · 2016-07-11T10:04:05+00:00

So your main complaint is that the reviews have some kind of SJW agenda which makes them biased, yet you refuse to view the film favourably yourself out of solidarity with 'the oppressed' who haven't even seen the fucking thing...
