They Should Hand Out Motion-Sickness Bags for This
-
- The biggest problem in cinema these days is the prevalence of backstory.
-
- It’s sometimes so pronounced that it burdens the audience.
-
- I mean, who wants to see how the Mad Hatter became mad?
-
- At this rate, I’d rather see a flick with first-person narration than one with backstory.
Well, Willya Look Who the Cat Dragged In
-

If Hollywood changed history …
-
- The Battle of Hastings would’ve been a romcom.
-
- The fall of Rome would’ve been a rock musical.
-
- The Diet of Worms would’ve been a gross-out mockumentary.
-
- The opening of Al Capone’s vault would’ve been … eh, who cares?
It’s not lazy—it’s being opinionated!
-
- Do you need to see a movie to know you won’t like it?
-
- Especially if it looks pretentious? Those flicks usually don’t surprise you.
-
- And if you’ve seen enough films you dislike by one director, do you really need to see them all?
-
- I’d rather see a good movie 2,000 times than a bad movie once.
