    - Sweet -- nm - Don Homer Jan 13, 18:41

  - from the reviews i've seen, it wasn't his star vehicle, they just marketed -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 13, 18:38 1
    - So - a solid, decent movie for what it is, just horrendously overhyped/overmarketed? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 13, 18:39
Did Max survive The Art of Killing? -- nm - Dano Jan 13, 17:59 7

  - But in a month? Or a year? You'd probably find that joke funny. Distance. -- nm - Roger More Jan 13, 18:08 2
    - But that's what I'm saying. You watch The Act of Killing, and you're like "no, no distance fixes this you a-holes." -- nm - Max Jan 13, 18:10 1

    - [deleted]
  - I liked Elysium but then again, it's hard to miss the Halo parallels in it. -- nm - David Jan 13, 17:15 4

- Are we talking pound cake or cheesecake? -- nm - Reagen Jan 13, 16:49 3
