Do the people at the end of "Man of Steel" count? I'm talking specifically about the two or three extras that are seemingly pinned down by Zod's laser vision at the train station or wherever they are. They have plenty of room to get around, as they could have simply ducked down and gone under it since Zod is unable to move his head, but instead they act like idiots and basically FORCE Superman to take a life.

I think I may have said it elsewhere in regards to this movie, but the only thing worse in a movie than the culprit being exactly who you think it is is it being NO ONE, like when the twist is that there is no twist, which means that everyone that's acting creepy or suspicious did so for NO reason. In a better movie, these people would at least be set up as patsies. It reminds of in "Scream 3" where the killer was pretty much the ONLY person not giving a "The killer could be ANY of us, even ME!" speech. If you don't want to be a murder suspect, don't TALK like a fucking murder suspect.

Oh God, "When a Stranger Calls" is one of my most hated movies ever. I've only seen it once when it was new, but I remember so, so much of it. On top of it being dumber than shit anyway, you KNOW that nothing happens until the "The call is coming from inside the house" line, which ends up being the last five minutes of the movie. And then the stranger is LITERALLY a stranger, not anyone that's appeared in the movie so far, and certainly not any of the dropped names or red herrings that they try to set up in the first 80 minutes. What a fucking waste of a movie.

I think my top 3 for the year are: Sicario What We Do In The Shadows Creed The rest of my top 10 in no particular order: Hateful 8 Ant-Man Mad Max: Fury Road The Peanuts Movie Star Wars: Force Awakens The Martian Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films I've been sitting on Ex Machina for a while, having picked it up for cheap on Blu-Ray on Black Friday, so it could knock something off the list once I see it, as well as The Revenant, which I'll see in a week. Looking at what came out this year, I see that I skipped a lot of stuff and have already forgotten a lot of movies.

I am SO fucking psyched for the "Connect 4" movie...

Its mission: Own Christmas. Mission accomplished.

There has to be a deleted scene somewhere of Chewie walking through a grocery store, clearly not giving a shit while his old lady is doing the Life Day shopping...

Dammit, I meant to post that same picture a couple days ago. We found out its mission, guys.

Holy shit, I JUST realized that Chewie is basically Jeremy Renner in "Hurt Locker", an action junkie that can't stand being back in the real world and around his family for more than ten minutes without wanting to go back to being in the shit.

I wouldn't say people in general. Maybe he just never trusts mentally disabled people, because he assumes they're all lying about it. Maybe he like kidnaps them and tortures them into trying to do long division or something. I KNOW YOU'RE SMART, YOU SON OF A BITCH! He'd basically be Hugh Jackman in "Prisoners".

If only there were people involved with this show that were into football-related comedy...

Oh, I'm full of 'em! My favorite story idea that I've had kicking around in my head though is a dark inspirational sports comedy about a poor African villager that dreams of going to America to play football for his favorite team, the 4-time consecutive NFL Super Bowl Champion Buffalo Bills. Once there, he'll learn the hard truth behind all the t-shirts he'd received as a child in the early 90s before ultimately helping the Bills get to the Super Bowl again, only to lose once more. It will be a moral victory though, as the final scene will be his friends and loved ones back home receiving a case of Super Bowl Champion Buffalo Bills merchandise with his face all over it. BAM. Where's my three-picture deal with Disney?

There's a scene towards the end of the first one where Mark Hamill pronounces it "Carrie".

Speaking of minutes and late era De Niro not giving a shit, have you ever seen "15 Minutes"? It's straight garbage. It's one of those movies though where things have to happen because it's a cop movie, and that's what cop movies do. I mean, you can't have a woman being protected by the cops and then NOT make her a love interest even though there's been NOTHING to set that up, right?

To me, that series felt like 10 hours of everyone moaning indecipherably anyway. As far as Lucas's on-the-nose naming scheme goes, that reminds me of a story I've always wanted to see. It'd be about a guy that goes through life with a historically shitty or villainous-sounding name that just wants to be a normal dude that everyone ELSE is trying to turn into a bad guy. I mean, there are so many villains in sci-fi or action movies that have names where you instantly go "Of course that guy's a fuckin' creep, why wouldn't he be with a name like that?". Sure, some of them might be titles they give themselves later on in life, like Anakin Skywalker wasn't ALWAYS called Darth Vader, but there has to be some poor bastard named Judas Adolph Cain or something that's been wondering why people have been spitting in his face since he was a pre-schooler.

I'm surprised that no one's made this reference...

To be fair, I think that's how her name is pronounced in the original trailer for the first film. It's kind of funny, because I think some other names are a little off too. The whole thing sounds like it was done in one take by a guy that doesn't understand this space gobbledy-gook that would rather get back to his cigarette.

Space racism all around. Spracism...

There are definitely some steps missing. It reminds me of those "how to draw..." books, where it goes from a stick figure layout to a bunch of shapes to the most detailed, finished picture of Ghost Rider that you've ever seen in about half a page.

Shit! Fuck! Shit-fuck!

That reminds me of a story my dad told me about he and my uncle having to pull a Winston Wolfe on my grandpa's apartment about 30 years ago. My mom's parents had been divorced when her dad passed away in (I think) 1982. Anyway, all the kids were coming from all around and were going to meet up at his place to divvy up belongings and whatnot. My dad arrived first with my mom's brother, and apparently they found mountains and mountains of porn. And this was 1982 porn, so there were books, magazines, video tapes, actual film reels, the works. All this stuff would fit on a thumb drive these days (or so I've heard...), but back then, it took up half an apartment. Whatever they did with it though, they were able to clear the place before my mom, my grandma, my three aunts, me, my sister, and all our little cousins arrived.

I think Mark Hammill was Jason Voorhees's mother.

There's mention of someone being a boyfriend in "Force Awakens" that could annihilate this special's airtight continuity.

Is there a statute of limitations on putting your child up for adoption?
