No, what's he's saying is that although it has elements of parody embedded in it, BS is primarily a satire, and one of the greatest satires produced by Hollywood.

I don't think either are an over-sight. BS and HS are satires rather than parodies. Sure, there are some elements of parody but both films rank more as satire, with BS being one of the greatest satires ever made, along with Dr. Strangelove.

The same was true for WW2 surplus body bags that had been stockpiled in anticipation for the invasion of Japan.

I'm not sure what your attempting to listen to it on, but Forever Changes has always sounded fine to me.

There's a decent Doors album to be had by eliminating the dross from Waiting for the Sun and The Soft Parade, but it's still a step down from ones you listed.
For all the somewhat deserved criticism Morrison gets for being a pompous ass, the wretched albums the band made post Morrison's death prove he had a unique…

With a no-talent hack like Franken what did you expect?

We built this shitty….
We built this shitty…
We built this shitty song on the corpse of Rock'N'Roll!

It's been implied that a number of Alexandria's experienced scavengers were killed in the disastrous raid that drove Nicholas over the edge. Not to say that the ones who died were that great at ZA survival, but they at least there weren't the level of incompetent zombie/raider chow that was left back in Alexandra. …

I'm half expecting an Oceanic airliner to crash onto that damned island.

Given his current character arc, he's holding back when fighting in an effort not to maim or even kill his opponents.

It high time that the Broccoli's embrace the obvious and commit to Bond being a code name for the individual agent that currently holds the 007 title. That way they can take the character in any direction they please, as long as Kristen Stewart dies within the opening teaser of any Bond film she's cast in.

Diamonds are Forever has not aged well, especially given the bloated and way out of shape Connery, the ludicrous plotting and a main villain who has no fucking neck.

Actually probably not. The rights to "Superman" or "Man of Steel" are likely owned by Time-Warner, I.E. through Warner Brothers Pictures Corp. CBS is an entirely different corporate entity. It's likely the same sort of ownership issue that prevents Marvel from using the X-Men in it's own movie/TV franchises. Face…

Connery's character is actually named Zed, in the film "Zardoz". Zardoz is the icon created by the immortal Arthur Freyn, used to control the exterminators. Zardoz is an interesting little movie directed by John Borrman that goes from the sublime to the ridiculous, sometimes in the same scene. It's on blue-ray now,…

The reports of alien abductions, with genital probing, originated with the Betty and Barney Hill case from the early 60's. A TV film from 1977 about the Hills popularized many of the myths surrounding alien abductions. Fargo S. 2 is also about a year and a half after the release of Close Encounters, so aliens,…

For me, the cut-off on Rush happens between the Hemispheres and Permanent Waves albums. Prior to PW I barely tolerated Rush, much of it having to do with Geddy Lee's singing… but then he dropped his singing style about an octave or so starting with PW and I started to actually like the band. I've grown to appreciate…

I don't have a problem with the slaughter of the animal for meat. Deodato filming it purely for exploitation purposes and including it in the film solely for the "entertainment" of the audience, that's reprehensible. Made even more so by the other egregious examples of animal cruelty displayed in the film.

Well, the natives Deodato employed as guides slaughtered the turtle as dinner for the cast and crew, so it didn't go to waste. That doesn't excuse Deodato of the reprehensible act of filming the slaughter and actually using it in the finished film.

My favorite Patrick Stewart role is the one where Steve Railsback gets to mercilessly beat on his characters chest in Lifeforce. Then, in the chopper, his eyes explode and his life force gets sucked out through the empty sockets.

When I look at the header picture, the only thing that comes to mind is Jon Lovitz yelliing ACTING!
