@Marozeph:disqus the ending changes the film from a sweet meditation on the purpose of one's life, a la Groundhog Day, to a horror movie. I hated it.
Good lord, that title takes me back. Is it even still on imdb? I'm not about to check at work.
Sorry, but I'm laughing at that bizarre sentence, it reminds me of the Dude using his checkbook to buy an open carton of cream.
I don't know any of this guy's material, I just read these reviews for the unending and hilarious vitriol. "Drake the type of nigga to sing the alphabet while getting a shot at the doctor" is inspired.
Because you can fuck to Prince and fucking has yet to go out of style.
@avclub-1534b76d325a8f591b52d302e7181331:disqus huh, I wouldn't say Parker stories have depravity — Lehane definitely, but Stark is more brutal than depraved (I'm thinking of some stuff in The Sour Lemon Score). Depraved suggests a wallowing that Stark was incapable of stylistically. But yeah, the eyeball stuff is all…
@avclub-ad2fed021a7cf4e2b04b583d418338c3:disqus I love the small town hive-mind thing going on in Tommyknockers as well (although I think he did a better job riffing on it in Needful Things) and Jim Gardner is probably my favorite King protagonist. I read the book when I was 14 and will always have a place in my heart…
I read something, I think a Greil Marcus column, about how Nirvana's music was recontextualized by radio almost immediately after Cobain's death and one of the examples that really struck me was how for a long time, the Unplugged "All Apologies" supplanted the original. And I think it's still the case that you are far…
I like how he's not a hero waiting to happen, like a lesser movie would have him be. He really is a fuck-up and sort of pathetic dude! But that doesn't mean he can't have a role and it's wonderful how the movie embraces that concept of a team being made up of all kinds of parts. "Maybe you're the comic relief!" And…
I assume that's why they ended the interview before talking about Galaxy Quest.
Yeah, Rockwell cold showed up Dowd right there. And he's absolutely right about the movie's badassery, the knife fight alone is ridiculous.
Put me in with the Hitchhiker's defenders, although I think @avclub-f06283e88eb8240594aa620b2fdac0e7:disqus has a great "what could have been" with Wright. But the hate for it puzzles me. @avclub-e538c7147880a157de9440755f660fd4:disqus has it right — muddy execution that is still driven by love for the material. When…

Between this and the mom joke in the Mom review I am doing very well in the "extremely juvenile shit that makes me laugh like a goon" department.
After last night, any clip titled "Sorkin on Breaking Bad" should just be Aaron saying "Hey kids: I won."

It is truly a sad day that this is the twenty-somethingth comment down. Well done, @avclub-71a58e8cb75904f24cde464161c3e766:disqus
