    Bumping this up to the Full Five, baby.

    Oh my god. Oh. My. God.

    Cinemá is alive and well, folks, and it will be as long as people give guys like this $185 million dollars and no restraints.

    I don't think any director in history has had a more meteoric rise than Denis Villeneuve. He has nothing left to prove, but a hell of a lot more to say.

    With regards to the movie, I'm at a bit of a loss for words atm (just like I was…
