Fuck yes!!

I was thinking the same thing when James appeared in Vampires...Man, the way he delivers his lines is just...pure star.
Hell yeah. He's never given a performance that was anything less than magnetic.

He's fucking brilliant on Family Guy. That show does a lot wrong, but James Woods is something they got 100% right.

Yes! 100%. What a fantastic short film.

Saw the doc on "The Anarchist Cookbook" that Netflix just added. Good watch.
Spoiler: show
Pretty clear the author was being disingenuous about a few things. He claims to have known of only 2 incidences of his book being used in violent acts before talking to the filmmaker, which I find really hard to believe. It seemed there was a media account in the 80s and 90s every couple of months where some kind of horrible act was linked to book. Even if he was in some tiny country in Africa, I find it hard to believe some of the info wouldn't have gotten back to him. He then claims that he now finds the book morally reprehensible, but clearly did very little to remedy the situation. He's clearly a quality human being now and doing a lot of good, I just kinda find his excuses/defense strange.

He eventually just says, "I'm not responsible for shit other people do with the information." Which is perfectly legitimate.

Baby Driver. What an awkward, annoying, artless movie.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I'm not very interested but my friend wants to see it, so I'll see it soon. I am excited to see Bernthal do his thing.

Yeah, I have absolutely no interest. I haven't even watched the trailer. But then I heard all these chumps talking about how surprising and "genre-bending" it is. I just assumed everyone was gonna go ape shit and love the hell out of it.

I haven't seen any of those new Apes movies but I think this new one looks really interesting.

You and Burt can't both hate this thing. I mean, right? Has that ever happened?

The first review I found is titled "Edgar Wright’s new film Baby Driver is the perfect antidote to The Fast and the Furious"

I predict that in 5 years, LV will call Baby Driver the best movie of the last 40 years.
