- Third time isn’t quite the charm for Agents K and J, but a time travel plot opens up some new possibilities for these otherwise tired jokes and characters, reminding us that aliens can still be fun.
- Sound of My Voice
- Review
- A time travel story with no time travel, Sound of My Voice is intimate science fiction with only one concern: constructing a smart, incredibly acted puzzle for viewers to lose themselves in.

Oooo, super jealous that this is out for you. One of the perils of living in the middle of the country is that I don't get movies like this until later (in this case, next month). As a fan of nearly everything Anderson has ever done, I very much look forward to this. It being more of the same, in this instance, is something I think I'm fairly okay with. ...

@Black_Rose: To be fair, my implication was that he's not headlining movies at the pace/visibility that he had been, not that he's incapable of doing so. In fact, the fact that he's spent so much time away from these types of movies is one of the reasons he probably still has that level of cultural weight behind him.@gangly: Yeah, absolutely. I think the movie's got some serious problems, obviously (and ...

Screened Community Box Office Winners League: Weekend Of May 25th
on the General Discussion board.
@jackanderson: I'm kind of tempted, but the last thing I want is for everyone to know how clueless I am about this stuff. ;) Maybe next time, this time I kind of just want to watch and enjoy the madness.

created a blog post Light Bondage: "Moonraker".
Bond, James Bond. For fifty years that has been the cinematic calling card of one of films most enduring heroes. Sure, Bond was born in books, but it was through film that he became a household name and one of the movies' most enduring legends. He is a character so archetypal that he is bigger than the half dozen men who have played him across nearly two dozen films, and ...

Screened's Best Movies! The Ultimate List of Our Favorite Movies
on the General Discussion board.
My problem is I give five star ratings to movies I wouldn't necessarily consider 'best' or 'favorite', and I deeply love movies that I'd rate 3 stars if I was being objective. Either way, with no upper limit, I'd drop you a list of like 100 movies, so ... I probably should sit this out. ;)

@csl316: Thanks! I try to see a diverse set of movies if I can, especially in the summer months where every week is another big tentpole release. I sadly can't get to them all, especially since I live in an area that doesn't get every limited release in a timely manner, but I'll try my best!

So here is what Toonami will be returning with on 5/26
on the General Discussion board.
Panty & Stocking is fucking hilarious, and I hope this goes well for them. Alas, I've been a cord-cutter for years.

@Vincemaster: I'm looking forward to von Trier, too, as my backlog is mostly gone so I've only written one of those yet (I usually write about four or five weeks ahead). So ... I hope it turns out good!Either way, you'd probably be okay reading the second section that isn't about Eyes Wide Shut, and it's not as if I spoil the movie. But I understand. Someone someday will read ...

@MrMazz: Nope! One of the best benefits of working with a different director and crew and all is that it's similar concepts wrapped in a much less frustrating package. Sound of My Voice is decidedly low-budget, but it's shot with a steady hand with a much better eye for composition.

@Brewmaster_Andy: Sure, though at the same time it's about the emptiness of those excesses. And its emotional drama is fairly restrained compared to Baz's trademark 'YELL ALL THE EMOTIONS'. Which is fine, I'm really looking forward to it, but man ... people need to let go.

I too am way on board with this adaptation. Seeing lots of people on the internet trashing it for looking gaudy and empty-headed.Um ... it's Baz. Of COURSE it's gaudy and empty-headed. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

created a blog post Directed Viewing: "Eyes Wide Shut" and Careers Cut Short.
If you've been following Directed Viewing for a long time, you know how it goes by now so I feel okay dispensing with the usual opening. If you haven't, I implore you to start with the beginning of this project (link) or any of my prior projects (much bigger link). Because today is not going to be representative of any of that work, because today I want to get real ...

Really surprised how good Mysterious Girlfriend X is. Tried it to see how weird it is and now it's probably my favourite this season #anime
