@kringrush The quick pan up from the facebook logo on the floor as he throws open the doors...doubt we'll see anything like that from Sorkin.

[luca @waynesfury]

unfortunately don't think it'll have a scene anywhere as good as this

[Christopher Michael @CMichael1975]

@Olly_0224 @DrewBricks D Girl is great. I love Christopher episodes.

Perhaps not as good as “The Legend of Tennessee Motisamti” or “Walk Like a Man,” but pretty funny with a great ending.

How can folks prefer “mergers & acquisitions” or “Keisha?”

[Christopher Michael @CMichael1975]

@ohsethy These are the big two.

[Christopher Michael @CMichael1975]

Top 5: Jaws, Raiders, ET, Close Encounters, Schindler's List (dislodging any of these landmarks seems silly & disingenuous)

Bottom 5: Lost World, Hook, Crystal Skull, Tin Tin, BFG?

[Christopher Michael @CMichael1975]

My Hot Take on Spielberg rankings:

Top 5 is settled. Bottom 5 are (mostly) settled. It's in between that things get interesting.

[Christopher Michael @CMichael1975]

@BonesAndEllie Maybe there’s a contrarian impulse out there, but I’m surprised Schindler’s List is missing from from so many top fives. I mean, come on people!

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

All we did was send our military to the other side of the world, bombed Iran's bridges and elementary schools, then imposed a military blockade to crush their economy and population.

Then, out of nowhere, these deranged monsters shoot one of our peaceful liberatory helicopters.

These people only understand force! They're like from the 8th century.

[Christopher Michael @CMichael1975]

@HitFactoryPod Fine. But why is her first line unintelligible?

[Christopher Michael @CMichael1975]

@Darren_Mooney He's doing the ACTUAL GUY. And a ruthless takedown at that.

Of course, both performances (from what we've seen) seem to hinge on Zuck's cringe & destructive insecurity.

[Christopher Michael @CMichael1975]

@Srirachachau Kubrick lacked his colleague's gift with child actors. Without a great performance in the lead, profoundly different film.

Didn't Kubrick imagine using a real robot at one point?

[Christopher Michael @CMichael1975]

@povertygru Oh, I think he’s joking

[Christopher Michael @CMichael1975]

@alexL_E_I Is it not also bleak AND hopeful that Jim mistakes the atom bomb as Mrs. Victor's soul rising to heaven? He is correct that souls are rising, just a lot more than he realizes. But we recognize that, as Mrs. Victor's life had value, what Jim actually witnesses is so much worse.

[Christopher Michael @CMichael1975]

@alexL_E_I Something can be bleak and hopeful at the same time, no? Schindler's choice to stop exploiting his workers for profit and spend all his money on their wellbeing (while his fellow industrialists choose not to) is portrayed as an inexplicable miracle.

That is bleak AND hopeful.

[Christopher Michael @CMichael1975]

@alexL_E_I @brofromanother White is a mess, but this is one of his best pieces. He really understood 2005 Spielberg.
