The U2 thing is complicated because a: it reminded people their phone is not really theirs and b: if U2 turned up at my front door and offered to do a free gig in my back yard, I'd turn the sprinklers on.

Cut but online, which probably means it didn't make it past standards and practices.

So the SNL Tourettes sketch may not be the worst thing the show has ever done but it's really strong contender.

WHY DOES THIS HEI-HEI HAVE JAUNDICE????

Not "the media." Columnists do. Conflict zone reporters hate it. That's why the US military has gone to such great lengths to replace independent reporters in war zones with embedded reporters. They don't want a repeat of how photos of the Highway of Death destroyed pro-war sentiment.

Jesus, this nightmare haunts my nights.

The trailer for the live-action Moana ran before our press screening of Hopper and I swear I thought that film had been released already.

SXSW Film Review: Monolith Australian audio-horror builds tone through sound

Monolith, one of my favorite low-fi, high-concept horrors, has just dropped on Shudder. Watch it with your headphones on.

Yeah, but the crossover three-parter with 12oz Mouse and Xavier: Renegade Angel was an all-timer.

Lemon, it's only etc etc.

Any film critics getting to SXSW before the fest starts - HMU.

I've been a regional film desk editor. They do not. Freelance budgets are in the crapper.

Trades, yes, but they don't care. Regional press do not have that latitude.

I mean, Pegasus 3 opened on one screen in Austin. Another issue is navigating distributors who aren't that bothered about US press. Same with Indian cinema. You only find out a film is opening on Wednesday.

No one is keeping you here, Nolan.

Hang on, the "hard-won lessons" part sounds like you're buying into the complete fallacy that earlier anti-war campaigners didn't know that, which is a myth created by the "returning vets were spat in" crowd.

So she doesn't know that Iraq and Iran are different countries?

Not really, Sally. A known liar and sociopath randomly calls one of your reporters to humble-brag about killing members of the negotiating team.

It pains me to go against any Phil Harris film but come on ...

Unhinged. Solstice Studios was trying to prove that the $20-$30 million actioneer was still a valid market. If this had pulled in $80 million, we could be looking at the return of the midbudget movie.

Also, Donovan, no. No swearhausen, no working for fascistshausen.

Nonce in Chief.

Bravo.

And yet lexicographers who ignore usage still stick their heels in about the popular definition of "ironic."

Israel needs Iran out of commission so it can take full, unopposed control of Gaza, with Lebanon and the West Bank next.

Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.

Isn't that like doing an X-Men movie based on Marc Guggenheim's run?

Princess and the Frog is a phenomenal film all around, while Moana is fun, well made, with a lot of great scenes, some good songs, but the script is a little weak. Tiana wins out.
