Buffy the Vampire Slayer the movie sucked. But some folks seem to feel that Buffy the TV series was pretty darn okay. I’m really desperately trying to keep that in mind when I think about how the American network Fox is going into production with a series based on the deeply terrible 2005 Will Smith film Hitch.
The ambitions that Mark Zuckerberg had for Facebook — at least what we see of them in The Social Network — seem so small and sad and deeply ungrand next to the reality of how life on Facebook plays out a mere few years later in the profoundly poignant Catfish.
No, wait: lemme guess what we’re meant to take from this turgid drama of small lives and smaller ambitions. ‘Some people do bad things and go to prison, and some people do bad things and live their lives out in the wide world as if they’re in prison anyway’? ‘Crazy, quietly desperate men are sad and sympathetic, and crazy, aggressively desperate women are slutty objects of derision’?
Later this month, the U.K.’s Channel 4 will air a ‘dramatized documentary’ about a fictional kidnapping of Prince Harry by the Taliban in Afghanistan. Can this film have any purpose beyond lurid sensationalism? And if that’s the only purpose it serves, is that okay?
This ad wasn’t made by Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, but it could have been. Before they lost the Lucky Strike account, that is.
We all know what a mean ol’ tease Steven Moffat is, so it’s entirely possible that at least some of these hints — not spoilers — from the upcoming Brilliant Book of Doctor Who are deliberately misleading, and others are outright bullshit. But we’ll still have fun discussing them anyway.
I’ve seen this. I haven’t seen the original, so I don’t know how it compares… but this is a very interesting movie in a lot of ways I fear the intended audience will never appreciate.
…as no film earns more than £1 million at the box office. This has apparently not happened in two years, since back in October 2008.
I’ve come to realize recently that there’s something more chilling, more eerie than a fictional dystopian world: a fictional dystopian world in which no one understands they’re living in a dystopia.
It’s almost an understatement to call this tragic, but there doesn’t seem to be another word that covers the strange life and stranger death of science fiction fan, writer, and Internet personality F. Gwynplaine MacIntyre.
