Shrek & Donkey Kong

Crazy how Devin took the time to create 70+ alt accounts to vote this into the Canon

Watching playoff basketball on mute while listening to Pistol Shrimps Radio. It's kind of like combining Wizard of Oz and Dark Side of the Moon -- a VERY poor use of time.

what an absolutely fantastic third post

i almost cried at that picture obviously i don't know either of these people but their inspiration on me is insane and Harris was the most sad celeb death ever for me

this episode

Also, I don't think that the dialogue was talked about enough. The script is good in terms of structure, but this dialogue is nearly laughable. This is actually rare for a Fincher movie, I love the dialogue of his recent movies especially. Maybe the dialogue is hidden to people; you know, you can't really tell that what they're saying would never be said by a real human, because there are great, convincing actors reading the lines. Well, that worked about 80% of the time, but the other 20% was tough not to try to replace in my head with more sensible words.

TOO SCARY

This was a really tough choice. For Amy's points: I agree on Fincher having a lot of shots in this movie that have no meaning, but look cool for cool-looking's sake. BUT, there are also really great uses of tracking shots to shift perspective (as I disagree with Devin about the entire movie being from the lense of John Doe). Also, the use of tropes was not progressive or off-kilter enough to not just feel tropey to me. Also, Pitt's character is stupid as all hell, even if he did get through those Dante cliffnotes. For Devin's points: Historical impact: check. Even if it did influence a bunch of films that I despise, the influence it had on culture is undeniable. Spacey is amazing, yes. This is also extremely entertaining, and the death of the author is so fucking important while looking at film, in order to have production discussions about the medium without arguing about intent. BUT, this movie wasn't much more than entertaining. This happens often with Fincher, where I feel like after I break down the film in my head, often times beat-by-beat (the scripts he picks to shoot do have a TON of plot-points), I'm left with nothing. With Se7en and Fight Club (a film I do NOT care for), there is the aspect of influence at which you can look, but I don't it carries enough weight to make Se7en canonical. The characters are underdeveloped, I actually disagree with both hosts about the use of Gweneth Platrow (who played her emotions much more grounded and was more intriguing in something like The Royal Tenenbaums) as her character fell into that typical women-of-Fincher mold. I vote NO. I know that there isn't a one-film-per-director rule, but with my mixed feelings on Fincher's aesthetic, I'd rather wait for a possible Social Network episode to use the one vote that I'll allow myself to cast for Fincher. Or ZODIAC, which I think is the closest he's come to making a masterpiece.

damn this is a good fucking post. oh yeah, that's how they're made.

so did Quentin Tarantino write From Dusk Til Dawn solely so he could act in a scene where he drinks from Salma Hayek's foot?

Wow, a true five-fork thread

sounds pretty good tbh

i know, right? i might go watch it again

Jungle Book was trash; 2 stars out of 5 scoop troop do NOT waste yr money unless you want to see a marvel movie set in the jungle with the weakest superhero of all time

Zodiac is by far my favorite Fincher from the 4 I've seen, but this will give me a chance to finally watch Se7en. Kind of wanted a Fight Club ep for the hopes of a good debate, because I've no clue how I'd vote for that influential piece of trash

Aye, I'm podcastin' here!

Wow, thanks to FOX on-demand, I can binge season 1 of Party Over Here! What a great service, news and laughs within the same on-demand programming

i have a medical condition where nothing that isn't hollywood handbook is funny anymore

you best post those pictures of your D

Wow so excited for taco Tuesday! Oh, who am I kidding. The sole reason for waking up on Tuesday is new Hollywood Handbook, and this confirms that there will be a new episode! See you around, kiddos.

i dont think u know how many times i've listened to the Death Cab for Cutie daytrotter sessions, it might be more than anyone else in the world.

welcome to daytrotter this is hayes and sean (my wish)

i like both #teamcap and #teamironman. i wish i could have both. their clashing styles both appeal to my own, almost like i want both at different times. maybe if i found a way to keep them separate, but be on both sides an equal amount? not sure if that kind of thing has happened.

i don't think they'd come out and take sides regarding of which side of the civil war they would be a part. BUT, if the south does rise again, I think we'll have Sean to thank blame
