Good point. I casually heard of Jem as a kid, but never saw it, and I’m 32, so I’m the right age to have seen it when it was on. I saw it a few years ago at a friend’s party (she played episodes of it while the party was on), and it looked really dated in a bad way. The songs were OK (thanks to Britta Phillips), but…

That makes sense about American Psycho 2. Aside from a shoehorned scene in the beginning where Patrick Bateman kills the protagonist’s babysitter, there isn’t any connection to the original story, nor is it really a sequel. It is just about an insane college student who murders her classmates so she can be her…

Or like how the script for Robocop was for a Judge Dredd movie originally, then got re-written with a new character instead.

Thanks for posting that. The subtext of what “Backdoor Lover” means is hilarious, them singing so earnestly about anal sex.

I saw this in theaters and thought it was really good, and didn’t get the hate for it. It is funny with satire about consumerism, the Du Jour group is ridiculous, Tara Reid is surprisingly funny and likable in this, I enjoyed the campy performances by Alan Cumming and Parker Posey, and it was just a blast to watch.

Yes, I really preferred her fight scene with Gina Carano over the one with Ronda Rousey. The first one seemed more dangerous, more of a brawl between two women trying to beat the shit out of each other. The second fight was more of a blur, and had an anticlimactic ending.

I had a crush on JTT back then. I liked his raspy voice and his smart-alecky comebacks on Home Improvement.

I always liked this scene too, and it usually gets cut in TV airings, as it isn’t relevant to the plot and the girls smoke in it. It was this nice, chill moment that brought a wider sense of realism in the film, like the girls bonding with this adult going through his own shit, and identifying with him about life…

My roommate is a big fan of Breaking Bad, and hates Matthew Broderick’s acting (with Glory as an exception). I will have to tell him this, haha.

Yeah, Keanu Reeves was the weak part of that movie. He tried, but his accent was bad and he didn’t look right for the film.

Yeah, he was pretty good in that and Shattered Glass. He can act, he probably should just stick to indie films and character dramas.

The stormtrooper bumping their head on the doorway is really funny, I am glad Lucas left it in.

I disagree. He may be a talented producer, but I never liked him as a personality or a rapper. He capitalized on Biggie’s death by turning himself into a rap star while disingenuously saying that he it was “all for Big.” I liked stuff he produced (Mariah Carey’s “Fantasy” remix, Biggie’s songs), but not his…

It is true. The last time I went to the movies, mostly of the trailers featured white people. I think the one exception I saw was a trailer for a movie where Will Smith plays a real-life brain surgeon who went up against the NFL for allowing their players to develop brain injuries.

Yeah, you would know, working for a blog where the editors keep hiring more white women as regular writers so that they stay the majority. I don’t remember the last time a WOC was hired as a regular staff writer, do you?

I agree, she is old enough. I thought the same thing when seeing Anna Faris play the mom of a teen girl on Mom. I then remembered that Faris is almost 40, she just looks and sounds a lot younger than she is.

She’s been on Comedy Central a lot lately. She guested on one episode of Broad City and I’ve seen her on two Drunk History episodes (one as First Lady Frances Cleveland, and one as WWII spy Virginia Hall). She is really charming and talented, and I like seeing her appear in stuff.

This reminds me of reading interviews with dancers (mostly ballet and modern) who talk about their injuries, often times in small muscles that put them out of dancing from six months to a year. They may talk about peeling toenails or bruised toenails as well, but not in a Black Swan horror kind of way. Some of their…

It is amazing that people thought they were real, when the fairies look like paper cut-outs. The girls, as old ladies at the end of their lives in the 1980s, came clean about it, saying it started off as playing pretend, but that the story grew faster than they could handle and they were too embarrassed to say it…

Her album will likely be full of top 40 radio-friendly songs about partying or falling in love, ballads about breaking up or bad relationships, songs designed to play for commercials or movie trailers, and other predictable stuff. It sounds like an awful lot of hype for nothing.
