Before The Social Network was released, it garnered ridicule that a movie about Facebook, of all things, was even made. The film spoke for itself and is now considered a modern classic. In some ways, #TheSocialReckoning is the film we feared back then www.flickeringmyth.com/movie-review...

#ResidentEvil Is it selfish to want Zach Cregger to keep making these until he is on his deathbed? I cannot emphasize enough how much this movie fucking rules; just one incredible set piece after another, fusing horror and humor with a winking sensibility over gaming tropes

It's the same thing with Brad Pitt, guy is horrible and yet his career isn't being affected because of his unwavering star power and charm beyond those stories. I'm sure it also helps that him and Tom Cruise are also white

I actually agree with Lindsey, I'm not buying that it's not well known anymore. My cynical thought is that people just don't care because he's in good movies and genuinely cares about the theatrical experience. People are selective about who they want to face accountability

Yordan was great but I don't know, he kind of fell apart down the stretch. I would be fine giving it to Junior. And I know it's not related to MVP, but I also can't get over Yordan doing absolutely nothing in my semifinals
