No Comments »I Feel The Same Way About the 2012 Oscar Contenders As I Do About the 2012 Republican Candidates
January 20th, 2012 maxlance1 *Crap, I wrote this then found out that NY Magazine did essentially the article first. Meh, mine is better. Watching the screeners for the 2012 Oscars and keeping up with the GOP debates makes me feel an identical apathy for this year’s crop of movies and Republicans. Whether they lulled in the race until one [...]

November 30th, 2011 maxlance1 Call me paranoid, but I am pretty certain that my cadre of help that I employ around the house are starting to work together and not just to clean my bathtub. I am growing more and more suspicious that they are writing a book detailing their awful experiences incurred by working for me. I don’t [...]

February 9th, 2011 maxlance1 With Justin Bieber’s new movie [finally] on the horizon, pedophiles who are both cinephiles and casual movie-goers are flocking away from playgrounds and to their local AMC to catch the latest blockbuster. But a debate is raging over whether or not these lovers of films and children alike should have their own Jim Crow-type seating [...]

December 18th, 2010 maxlance1 When the theater is packed, it makes sense. Reserved-seat movie houses have eliminated the problem faced by couples or groups of friends going to a blockbuster on opening night. However, this novelty of assigning seats completely backfires for two in the afternoon matinees on a Wednesday.You no longer have to lay out a blizzard’s worth [...]

August 17th, 2010 maxlance1 It’s easy to knock any book that becomes one of the most popular in the country because America doesn’t read. Since we would rather do anything but pick up a book, this would mean that any book that appeals to millions of people must be catering to retarded people. So for the same reason I [...]

May 28th, 2010 maxlance1 It’s a shame that soaring salaries and egos have detracted countries from producing wars the way they used to. You could make the argument that studios are so invested in “tentpole” wars that carry on for decades and don’t have discernible starts or finishes, simply for the sake of franchising their wars, that we’ll never [...]

February 18th, 2010 maxlance1 Shutter Island opens today, which adds another to a long line of movies that for no apparent reason go unnecessarily out of their way to feature a star performing his rendition of a terrible Boston accent.
