I think you mean throwing sledgehammers at screens made this country great. Javelins are pointy, designed for efficient flight, and require finesse to throw properly, which is to say javelins are Socialist.

I never sign in, and I signed in just to second this very sincere recommendation of True Grit, Dog of the South, and anything Charles Portis. Norwood is my favorite, but crazy funny all.

Shaka Sulu. That’s going pretty far back, I admit, but I’m old.

When I was a kid I absolutely loved the movie “Dreamscape,” which has a similar shared-dream concept. I thought about that a lot during “Inception,” mostly when I was confronted with a slippery plot point that I couldn’t grasp. But then I began to fear that my mental architecture was becoming too reliant on features from my memory, but then I realized how silly that sounded because I wasn’t dreaming, unless I was dreaming. Of course “Inception” is way better than “Dreamscape,” but “Dreamscape” has way more Dennis Quaid, which is something.

That’s the vibe I was getting as well.

I’m honestly perplexed by this trailer, and the argument of the film that it suggests. So the opening montage seems like it’s supposed to “introduce” us to the film’s subject. Duh: this is Facebook, which you all know well. But here’s where I’m confused: Is the opening montage intended to actually communicate something about human desires/life/experience/etc as contained by Facebook (look at our meaningful lives on Facebook)….or is it ironic (look at our “meaningful” lives on Facebook)? Maybe a stupid question.

I walked into the theater not knowing that Adrien Brody was even in this movie. Seriously: I didn’t watch the trailer. I didn’t even glance at the poster. 100% faith in Videogum Movie Club. And as Gabe pointed out, there are no opening credits. So I spent the first fifteen minutes distracted beyond belief: “Is that Adrien Brody? If so, what’s he doing in this awful film? Is he even tough? (Spoiler: yes, and muddy.) How can you be in both The Village and Predators?” As you might expect, the end credits brought me the satisfying resolution missing from the film.
