The AV Club should pay me to be a viral marketer.  They've been on fiyah for like the past year and a half.

i wish i could just read all the box of books reviews without having to randomly wait for them to pop on the front page

ease of searching and browsing is difficult

Yeah, they tried half-assedly to make it a bit better some months back, after complaints about how difficult it was to find My Year of Flops stuff (which I still think was the best thing ever and I wish it would come back, not just monthly, but twice a week, as it should be), but the whole site is really long overdue for a redesign.

Furthermore, my curiosity was piqued when I walked past a Wendy's by my apartment during the film's brief, undistinguished theatrical run and watched a child indifferently blow up a Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium blimp. It's a neat toy, but it nevertheless made me profoundly sad. I envisioned the sad little boy sitting all by himself with his lonely little Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium blimp while all the other kids bathed in the life-giving blue light of HDTV plasma screens and Sony PlayStations. While not technically a form of child abuse, exposing children to the potentially fatal doses of whimsy and wonder coursing through Mr. Magorium is questionable parenting at best. The Wendy's blow-up blimp, meanwhile, is nothing but a cheap, plastic gateway drug leading them to the film itself, which is the liquid cocaine of twee preciousness.

Just as movies with no sense of humor about themselves are often unintentionally funny, a children's film that lacks even the faintest trace of the eviscerating darkness found in the best kiddie entertainment invites audiences to project their own neuroses onto it.

what happened to dustin hoffman  :'(

70 years happened

[bud]

isn't he doing another movie in which he plays a woman again?

[Cormacaroni]

So Johnny Depp was lauded for playing a camp pirate, then a hugely over-the-hill DeNiro makes a ham-fisted attempt at the same deal in Stardust. Next, Johnny Depp plays a freakoid chocolate factory owner to universal approval, then Dustin Hoffman tries basically the same damn role in the piece of crap referenced above, only to universal derision.

So my question is: who rips off Sweeney Todd? Is Al Pacino gonna play the male lead in CATS? 

[TakingBackSunday]

Eh?  I heard a lot of good things about Stardust.

Well, some of those "good things" came from Cheebs, so I dunno.

[bluemax]

I enjoyed Stardust :/

[Joe Molotov]

Stardust was okay, but DeNiro was embarrassing in it.

[Cormacaroni]

Stardust was okay, but DeNiro was embarrassing in it.

it was slightly better than okay. but yes, DeNiro was ridiculous. I was watching it and trying to reconcile it with his 70's work and just failing in every way.

A better question would be, wtf was Portman thinking?  She srsly needs someone to read over the parts she's about to take and then smack her in the back of the head so she doesn't pick dumb shit.  Steer her more towards Hotel Chevalier type projects.
