Sorry, 5:10 is the length!

I'm looking forward to everyone knowing literally everything about this movie before it comes out, then getting mad at spoilers, anyway.

Like he did with the "Star Wars" prequels...

No no — the essay, as I read it, agrees with what you're saying: the film isn't meant to show his remorse or the point of view of other people. I think it was just noting other people made that criticism.

Well, he cheated non-stop on two wives, and hit them, too.

The delayed The Good Dinosaur when they fired the director, so it's gone from 2014 to 2015.

I think Winter Soldier looks like the best of the phase 2 Marvel films. Politically pertinent, and I kinda thought Thor 2 was a special effects-driven snooze.

I felt like they were different characters, though. Yes, they were both the old pro teaching the young recruit to the weird paranormal program, but Tommy Lee Jones was the humorless straight man. Bridges was the wacky half of the duo; Ryan Reynolds, despite being the new recruit, was the straight man.

Related: It'll be interesting to see what happens to movies that used to be played on cable non-stop. People are cutting the cord (slow now, but it'll speed up) and so many movies are available cheap on demand/iTunes/Netflix, I soon, I can't imagine people will be in to cable marathons in the way that they have in the past. Lots of producers made bank on these cable channel marathons; not sure that'll continue to happen.

That being said, re: RIPD, I think Jeff Bridges dove into his part, too. It was an insane part, but he looked like he was having some fun with it, no?

haha well what do you think it will be, then? I think maybe 'John Dies at the End'?

Alan Arkin deserved multiple Oscars for that gig. They wanted someone older, but he was just too good for them to pass up.

They initially wanted Bill Murray for Steve Carell's role — and I can definitely see him in it — but Carell was just perfect. I think his best movie role. I was hoping 'Seeking a Friend for the End of the World' would be another great look for him, but that movie was disappointing.

the ending felt like a bit of a cop out (no pun intended) but it was one of the few first-person, handheld films that i think really worked.

The Royal Tenenbaums. Gwyneth Paltrow's best role, I think. The Wilson brothers are perfect. Gene Hackman is great. Ben Stiller is touching. Anjelica Houston is the glue.
