If you're wrong I'll send a hit squad of five lesbians after you.

I really like it. It's absolute gibberish but the fun kind.

Your opinion is worth 500 of anyone else's opinion. Also, the lesbians have deemed you an acceptable ally so you shall be safe.

It's really great. I've seen it at least 6 or 7 times. The basic story is nothing groundbreaking, but it was fun to see Matrix and 1984 combined together.

Sean Bean gets killed a lot. It's like people go "This character dies early on." and someone says "Call Sean Bean".

I will never understand people who were surprised to see Sean Bean die in Game of Thrones (spoilers or whatever). It's Sean Bean. SEAN BEAN. Equilibrium also led to my sister and I forever referring to him as Three Scene Bean because he's in Equilibrium for about four minutes. I can think of three films where Sean Bean neither died or turned evil, and that's it.

He didn't die in Jupiter Ascending. Yet another thing the movie couldn't do right.

You can't really expect them to get anything right after hiring Mila Kunis. With that one decision they pretty much said "Let's see how bad we can make this movie suck."

Ok, nothing I have said here should give the impression that I don't like Black Swan.

Sorry, I forgot how much shit we give you.

As for the broken clock, I was referring to Mila Kunis being in a good movie.
