I suppose we can let a few of these through on a bye week....

The clip of them smoking crack on the set made me laugh out loud. Maybe that makes me a terrible person..."That is JUST refreshing!"

I generally don't go to movies, just because for the most part they were terrible for so long.  But I thought the last Avengers movie was incredible, and looking at some other trailers I wonder if the renaissance we've seen in television/cable writing is working its way through movieland.

Burgundy is exempt from all that, of course.  He's his own island.

Cap was actually "Captain America: The First Avenger."  Though they did that so they could just call it "The First Avenger" internationally and not "Captain America," not because they wanted to tie it into the movie.

The only movie where I actually walked out of the theater because it was so bad. I was actually trying to kill some time before catching flight, but I decided I rather sit and wait at the airport.

That no other comedy made in recent times has as many memorable lines? 

Hollywood needs to get on its game. We can't be quoting Airplane, Caddyshack, Fletch, and The Big Lebowski forever.  We need fresh blood.

Actually, I don't know that I'd say at all. Because I prefer Brando to DeNiro, and I think the end mirrors the first too much. But the argument can and has successfully been made.

But if we were going outside of comedy we could probably find lots of them. The Empire Strikes Back. Lots of superhero movies (X-Men 2, Spiderman 2, The Dark Knight). Etc.  I think it's harder to do in comedy because comedy is fresh and new laughs, rather than storytelling, so the original has an advantage.

Godfather III gets such a bad rap because as a sequel it gets compared to two of the best movies ever made.  Godfather III when compared to most other films that come out of Hollywood, it's not too bad.

It does provide quantitative and definitive proof that Sofia Coppola should stick to directing and never, ever, take a shot at acting again.....ever.
