Re: Her

Very nice focus. I'm glad someone finally pointed it out. Thank you. Somehow I missed this post earlier, so I guess I'll go ahead and try to revive this thread. How is Theo's "job" different than Samantha's? What is their principal purpose of existence and is there a difference of the fun...

Re: X-Men Days of Future Past *spoilers*

if it had appeared at the end to solve a seemingly intractable problem, it would have been a deus ex machina. Unless I'm misremembering my Latin. That's right. Also, I think the coolest thing about the way they did this was that we were able to see our favorite actors from the franchise all in the ...

There were other posts earlier in the thread I liked, too, but it's just too much to respond to, so I'll focus on parts of t...
