I enjoyed it more than I thought I would, but I think he ruins the nice feeling of the ending by tacking on the outtakes of Melissa McCarthy raging and swearing in a not particularly funny way. He can't let go of that comedy sketch mentality.

Just watched it. Yeah, I laughed a few times. Especially at some of the stuff Rudd said. Still a pass, but I did laugh.

It had some laughs, of course, just...not enough. And too much reliance on improv. I took classes at the UCB Theater in NYC years ago, so I've watched a number of people come up and noticed the influence of improv on tv and features and it's getting out of hand, IMHO. I notice now most of the "tags" on the ends of sitcoms are just actors improv'ing and it often pulls me out because it's not natural to the character or the logic of the show. I get the sense that the sho...

And Take the Money and Run and Bananas are on my list, too.

Love And Death is my favorite of his old comedies - holds up the best I think. Other favorites of mine that get overlooked: Radio Days and Zelig.

Broadway Danny Rose is on Netflix streaming. It's one of his most overlooked and one of my personal favorites.

I have an abundance of gratitude I'd be willing to share with you

I'm looking for interviews for my blog with working writers, directors and producers, and of course any hot screeners you might have. Message me and I'll shoot you my email.

The show is called 'Hannibal'.

...what supernatural powers? It's deduction and imagination. Not exactly superpowers in our business.

Those sequences where he becomes the killer and "relives" the murder have a big supernatural vibe to them. And he woke up wandering on a highway in one scene, which really gave it a supernatural vibe. If that's not the case and it's just supposed to be his intuition, sorry but I think it's overproduced nonsense. Not to mention grisly because not only do we see the aftermath with the hacked bodies, but then we get to relive the murders from the POV of the killer! Yuck.

I think it's the colors, they're too bright and cartoony, even more so than in the comic book. The costume in the Cap America movie was much more realistic and edgy looking which added to the "realism."

I agree the colors look way too bright. However, I guess it depends what type of lighting and filters they're using. Maybe it will look okay when it hits the screen.

Cookiemonster: that's what I'm hoping, too. It looks like felt in person, but on screen hopefully it looks more substantial. Otherwise, I've got my knight costume from third grade to sell to the Arthur and Lancelot folks. ;-)

I'm with palostick. Like a painting in which construction lines underlie the finished product, I might not have minded all the hamfisted generic action tropes if they'd bothered to erase the construction lines before releasing the film. It looked more like a blueprint than a movie.

predictions on TREK's drop this weekend? 60%? 65%?

it's so quaint that some people here think that the quality of a film has anything to do with it's opening weekend numbers.

Unreal. In the best possible way. I love seeing a show that does't bleed viewers over time but instead continues to increase.

It's also proof that most Network TV blows donkey balls

Guillermo Del Toro's The Strain on FX will hopefully bring another quality entry to the genre and could easily pick up this audience. I just finished the first book in the trilogy and if they put enough money into it, it will be the next The Walking Dead.

I was actually found the making of the Dark Knight Trilogy today in a book shop and sat down and start reading. Very nicely done(from what I read). The script part where The Nolans and Goyer described their process of writing and choosing the charaters is very interesting. And that Levitt's John Blake is actually an orphan, who Gordon took under his wing. They aimed for Wayne, Bane and Blake to have a link to each other. So, it begs the question: Does this make him a replacement for Wayne...

La la la fingers in ears! Please no potential spoilers! I've already seen and speculated too much: http://tinyurl.com/7xjqgek

Yeah, no I won't. Going to see it on friday myself so, we'll just leave it at that.
