I can't do any of the mental gymnastics required for that statement to make even a fraction of sense.

Pauline Kael wrote:Joyce wrote “Ulysses” in the form of a movie and that's probably why so many people, including Joyce himself, thought it should be made into one.

Just found this on imdb:
"Sad film
But the story is nonsense and quite sterile
The saving grace is the hot call girl whose legs, hair and waist make her worth a million bucks. This is a foreign film but available on DVD which my friends owns"

“Foreign film with a prostitute“ is the least helpful differentiating factor ever!

Not an amusing example, but a perplexing one: I just bought Hilary Hahn's recordings of Schoenberg's & Sibelius' violin concertos, and the blurb on the back of the CD has the strangest pull-quote:
... The Daily Telegraph cheered, "This is as good as it gets!... Hahn didn't merely play the notes, she passionately engaged with them."
It might be an accomplishment for a student to merely play the notes without errors, but the bare minimum one expects of even a semi-professional is that they engage with the music, not just play it correctly. Talk about damning with faint praise. But that's what they selected for the CD cover. And isn't The Daily Telegraph a tabloid anyway? Or am I mixing up publications?

Depends which one you mean! The Australian Daily Telegraph is a Murdoch-run tabloid (about on par with The Daily Mail in terms of ethics and journalistic rigour) but the UK one is a broadsheet, and I suppose relatively respectable as far as right-wing newspapers go.

A letterboxd review to make you feel old -
I think maybe older people enjoyed this one more from living at a time when this standard of production was commonplace, but being someone who grew up with the mcu and the star wars sequels and star trek films I expect big blockbuster films to look good. and this does not look good.

It's interesting to see how even someone as young as that reviewer (going by what they are saying, even younger than myself) perceives a difference between the standard mode of 90s-2000s blockbuster filmmaking and the scaled-up, hyperbolized version of that that is the Disney monolith

Maybe this has been posted here before, but I found myself looking at the
Yelp page for Columbia Pictures today and the only review of the studio on there (from late 2018) is a real doozy.
Some isolated quotes:
"the widescreen dvd format you crammed down the american consumer is from hell - where did you come up with such a stupid idea ???? !!!!!"
"talked to a large dvd distributor & he said they do not make full screen dvd "s anymore - why the hell not ! you ruined my day"
"i paid top dollar to watch ghost rider 3 times @ the movies ! the you have the nerve to sell this crappy widesreen version ! the head librarian who buys thousands of dvds a year said she will never buy a widesreen dvd again - they are worthless !!!!!! i smell a class action lawsuit"

The optimist in me wants to believe that's just clever satire. The pessimist tells me that yes there is absolutely someone this angry at the lack of a Fullscreen DVD of Ghost Rider.

I particularly like the way that he posted his name and address in the deluded expectation that he’d be sent a fullscreen replacement that most likely doesn’t exist.

The movie I remember had Robert Wagner playing a Wonderful Man Who Did Nothing Wrong who is pursued for no reason whatsoever by an hysterical harpy (played by Virginia Leith) who has fantasies about the Wonderful Man Who Did Nothing Wrong. Movie should have ended with the harpy in a straight jacket screaming as she's dragged off to the snake pit where she belongs.
I don't have to tell you that the movie is
A Kiss Before Dying for you to know that he remembers wrong.

I was going to say aside from the actress they could have constructed that comment about any Robert Wagner movie! But it would be been particularly funny if it were about his character in

From the IMDb Parents Guide listing for
Stalker:
Frightening & Intense Scenes
A black dog is seen throughout many of the scenes staring at the camera (viewers) which can be scary and intense. It can be thought that the dog is having evil intention when it approach some of the characters, though it doesn't do any harm.
I never thought of the
dog as being intended as a particularly malevolent or disturbing presence, but your (cynophobic) mileage might vary!

One sentence analysis: When capitalists fail to satisfactorily control market forces, they masterfully divert the hostile attention of incompetent revolutionaries towards the innocent, hopeless everyday proletariat.
The Big Lebowski
One sentence analysis: An introduction to Lacanian psychoanalysis; we will never get what we desire, neither pre-mirror stage subject/object reunification (“I’d fuck me”) nor our objet petit a (saving all the lambs).
The Silence of the Lambs
One sentence analysis: The flawed Foucauldian society of discipline men have created (tit for tat nuclear war) is being replaced by a Deleuzian fully automated society of control (doomsday device), inevitably leading to a utopia of pleasure for the privileged and either death or servitude for everyone else.
Dr Strangelove
Successfully standing up to capitalism, resisting its gaslighting techniques, and opening your mind to its negative effects require some combination of 1) honestly reassessing history, 2) separating your current self from your own past and ego, 3) making moral, equitable decisions moving forward, and 4) directly fighting against oppression. This is what is required to literally break the glass ceiling.
Total Recall
Men are caught in a labyrinth of their own terrible actions - including, but not limited to, physical, psychological, and sexual abuse, manipulation, lying, racism, murder, sexism, and genocide - only by moving backwards and shining a light on the past and can we stop history from repeating itself.
