Because Americans primarily (not exclusively) speak English. This isn't unique to the United States. British television programs like Rome and I, Claudius weren't performed in Latin. The Death of Stalin and Enemy at the Gates, both British films set in Russia, were in English.

Only the Marquis de Gramont.

I don't think Cage is polarizing. Although many of his movies from the recent past aren't very well-regarded, most people seem to love him, both as an actor and an apparently cool guy.

I doubt Hitler would have personally opened the Ark after it melted all the Nazi scum on that island.

It seems odd to criticize Indiana Jones, pop culture's most prolifically anti-Nazi action hero, for not single-handedly taking out Hitler. Was Indy supposed to assassinate Hitler at that book burning in Last Crusade? That wouldn't have gone well.

It was the first cyberpunk movie.

1. Lucy was produced by French studios and distributed by Universal. They had no vested interest in the viability of a Black Widow solo movie.
2. Lucy was a huge hit, yet it was seven years before Black Widow finally came out, so Disney clearly wasn't influenced by Johansson's success as a solo action star.

I also just rewatched it, and the subtlety of Robbins' performance also struck me. Dufresne is reserved by nature, and he's struggling to process his new life and the circumstances that led him to Shawshank. There are only a few moments when his stoic demeanor cracks, and they are all the more powerful.

Unfortunately, the Oscar rarely goes to the most subtle performance. More often, it is the most most performance that takes the trophy.

Guns Akimbo, also with Samara Weaving, but in a very different kind of role.

Silence of the Lambs is such an acclaimed horror film that people will actually deny it's horror. Because everybody knows horror can't be Best Picture good.

Not "one of." Science determined it's the scariest movie of all time. 😉

It seems out of nowhere for Lecter to make a period joke at Clarice's expense. He likes her. He isn't exactly kind to her, but he is civil.

He never lied to her in Silence. With the exception of Barney, Clarice is the only person Lecter is always straight with.

>Hannibal Lecter: What did Miggs say to you? Multiple Miggs in the next cell. He hissed at you. What did he say?

>Clarice Starling: He said, "I can smell your cunt."

>Hannibal Lecter: I see. I myself cannot.

I don't see how else Lecter could possibly know such a thing.

The filmmaker says he has plans to further explore Art and Sienna's backstories, so maybe in the next one. FYI: Art was missing a chunk of brain because at the end of the first movie he shot himself in the head to avoid capture by the police.

I trust my own eyes and ears over word of mouth. If I'm not enjoying it after half an hour, I'm out.

The first hour bored you to the verge of tears, so you watched another hour. Did you need a good cry or something? Like how long does it take to figure out a movie isn't for you?

Minority Report

Devs, a science fiction miniseries by Alex Garland.
