    I’m trying to come up with a complicated enough set of rules to make it impossible to dissect, Ronald.

    But LexG gets cut off after 3 VAGs, 2 Boners, and any mention of actresses between 15 and 25. Of course, his meter resets at the start of each month.

    I think there are people who frequent this blog — hell, I think there’s a guy who runs this blog — who would be surprised to see just how many folks might pay a fee of, say, $50 a year to take part in a monitored, kinda-sorta members-only discussion of movies.

    Will the reader button on Safari bypass the paywall like it does on Variety’s site?

“Two hours in the labyrinth of Paramount’s Avarice…. It was my first–and my last–IMAX venture. Haven’t been to a 3-D movie in years, and it’s bye-bye to THAT scathing visual transgression for the remainder of MY lifetime… It was an unceasing, unrelenting, take-no-audience-prisoners audial and visual back-alley mugging for two hours… I have been beaten up many times; I know what it feels like: this was a two-hour assault. I weep, as Jesus wept, for the generations that will grow up thinking this is what it means to “go to the movies.” I am near-on 79, and I [understand] that this is a generational opinion, but I do not think any sensible person not of a tot age where videogame… overkill is pro forma, could confuse the IMAX “experience” with a Saturday matinee outing. The term “author” as regards Summer Blockbuster movies, is not only moot, it is Urdu. Mountains heave mightily, and give birth to volcanic ant-hills.”

“One of the things I wish I could do in my life would be to watch this film through somebody else’s eyes. I just can’t. I still see it as just a giant mess, and other people are seeing that it has a shape. That’s really exciting, because I still have a hard time seeing it clearly.”
