I think the biggest problem is that because there are no videos a bunch of users have left, and thus their is less discussion.

I don't think so. The video content was very slow for the last few months of Screened yet it was still a daily visit for me.

Up-to-date news and personality made the site, as well as a general sense of competence in the writing.

About a month after the BB takeover I left because the articles were outright bad. I think it was the Cabin in the Woods review that had a heading saying something along the lines of "Watch it at home." which is just lazy.

Whiskey put a lot of time and effort into providing engaging personalities who would deliver well written or well thought out content. That's why I had no problem paying for their services. BermanBraun however cannot keep me compelled enough to visit for free.

Am I the only one who feels like it looks like most of that action stuff is all from the same big set-piece? I have a sneaking suspicion this movie is going to be an hour plus of talking, and then 20 minutes of explosions. /hater

Even if that's the case, it's talking written by Joss Whedon. Which is great.

The first one for the new Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Instantly sold.

Braking Bad has always been a slow burn but when they break out their stylistic nature, they go all fucking out. That final shot of Walt in the Crawl Space just losing his shit was fucking amazing. I love this show more than life.

It's that this movie was hideously overlooked when it was released.

Thoughts?

The Godfather Part 1.

or Die Hard.

For a Few Dollars More. The scene at the beginning where Manco is dealing the cards with one hand just gets SO uncomfortable.

And the Music box music that plays throughout the damn film is haunting, even to this day.

Just finished a stupidly long blog called:

One Film-maker, One Theme #1: Darren Aronofsky and Parenthood

It's a very in depth look at parents in Aronofsky's films and the relationships they have and the like.

Also a review of Insomnia (2002) and a review of Garden State (2004)

I dunno, man. If I remember Desperado (and I'll have you know I do remember Desperado), that was a pretty fucking great movie.

I'd certainly rather watch that over Jackie Brown, Kill Bill vol. 2 or Death Wish Death Proof.

" This is the first I've heard of the situation, but motivations for her saying she did more work than she actually did make sense, given that she earned an oscar for her role.  That said, it appears it is just the body double speaking out against everyone else, and it could just be an attempt to get the limelight cast on her out of jealousy.    So what I'm saying is that this is just the plot of Black Swan happening among the production crew of Black Swan.
