I really want to see Resident Evil Afterlife now, just to spot the deceptively dark homage to Demy's Umbrellas of Cherbourg.
Also: "This Resident Evil is superior to Avatar and Inception on every level"

Life As We Know It
Pretty amazing how he manages to pry his (pretty decent though I've not seen the film) review into a further diatribe on The Social Network and its relation to the Rutgers suicide.

We can’t pretend that anything is more important in film culture than the Internet humiliation-death of Rutgers University student Tyler Clementi taking place the same week as the media hype for The Social Network.

Just posting this line from the Jackass 3D review for posterity:
Steve O’s Super Cocktail Bungee routine in a feces-filled port-a-john utilizes distance and trajectory in a way that recalls the great waterslide joke in Norbit (and should help rehabilitate that wonderful film’s unfair reputation).

Director Jeff Tremaine’s final 3D trick is a celebration with in-yourface explosions, wreckage and confetti.It imitates the destruction of bourgeois materialism at the end of Zabriskie Point, then becomes an end-credits montage singling out each of the Jackasses alongside their nostalgic schoolboy photos. An accompanying Weezer tune, “Memories,” describes a longing for innocent carelessness. It’s an indulgence, but to understand it is to understand why the terrorists hate us and why Jackass 3D is also a political documentary.

typically nuts review and as always i hate the less-than-thinly-veiled implication (made by aw here and there and occasionally seen on ilx) that music that is made by a certain sort of white person and has a particularly white style is wholly irrelevant and those who are of a certain lifestyle and demographic are thoroughly unimportant and easily dismissed (or in this review's estimation, people who never leave the house!) lol, i dunno.
― omar little, Friday, 29 October 2010 18:34 (thirteen years ago) link
and it seems whenever this sort of "type" is dismissed, it feels almost like a bullying attitude or something, like the high-school weirdos who are in awkward and shy adulthood are still regarded as just not strong or masculine or extroverted enough. it's kind of strange that this sort of criticism is maybe considered valid in some quarters.
