I went through numerous huge Beatles phases growing up and somehow completely missed the existence of "It's All Too Much" until the remastered albums came out in 2009. For me it will always have the double distinction of being a fucking great rock song, and the last Beatles song I ever heard for the first time.

To the hydrofoil!!

I don't know, people who proclaim themselves hilarious are usually anything but. Going to be a looooong, awkward papacy if you ask me. Every time you read one of the guy's encyclicals he's just going to be sitting there looking at you expectantly, waiting for you to laugh at the "jokes." No thanks.

It's also going to have an impact on Theon's arc. If Sansa becomes a master manipulator then Theon plays less of a role (probably) in getting her out of the situation, and if she ends up a helpless victim then her growth is undone. To give both characters the growth they deserve without diminishing one or both is…

21 years after the Voodoo Murders case ended with Jackson Square erupting into a lava-covered hellscape for all to see, we're still debating whether voodoo is "real" or not. Malia Gedde died for nothing.

Really though, was there anyone whose corpse wasn't stolen by Venetians?

Damn, this is a pretty exact summary of my childhood, although Perfect Strangers had its moments. Was talking to another early 80s-born friend about this very thing the other day. We were delegated to "forgotten generation" status so rapidly within the last five years or so that we hardly noticed. I always…

It's actually pretty tough to write a story that doesn't follow the three act structure in broad strokes. What a lot of these screenwriting gurus do is invent buzz words for common sense story structure and get writers more worried about the "First Culmination" and the "Second Act Climax" than writing a compelling…

It doesn't really meet modern standards for a dramatic climax, that's for sure. The villain is quite literally removed from the frame, Poochy style. Still, as you point out, I think it works thematically. Unlike the "Victorian values can overcome anything" optimism of the original book, Nosferatu is very much a…

The beginning might be a little boring, but I think the film corrects a problem that has plagued every version of the Dracula story, even Stoker's novel. Usually, the opening in Transylvania is excellent and spooky, then Dracula comes to London and the story completely loses steam as Dracula is completely outsmarted…

I've always enjoyed the movie, but I think individual mileage varies based on how you average A level production values with a D- script and cast (except for Oldman). I wouldn't necessarily mind the love story plot if it was developed further, but it is, as you say, tacked on and simply doesn't make sense. What's…

Slow down, we won't know her fate for sure until Us Weekly puts out its next 'Hot or Not' list.

I hope poor Tony Hill didn't spend too much of his life waiting for the Girls of the Internet to show up on ATS. Even in 1995 there were a gaggle of better places to look.

Jazz is like Jello pudding! No! Actually it's more like Kodak film! No! Actually jazz is like the New Coke: It'll be around forever! Heh heh heh.

I don't know, I once mistakenly rented Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood in a failed attempt to rent Leprechaun: In the Hood. The rest of that night is something I'd like to forget, but there's a kind of horrible beauty in the realization that a film called Leprechaun: In the Hood is not the nadir of the series.

"The Drum" was just about the worst of the bunch for me. Before I read it I never knew I had a primal fear of replacement mothers with glass eyes and wooden tails, but there you go. At least there was no illustration of the mother, instead we just got two shadow children walking through a grotesque forest with…
