When I was around 7 or 8, my parents played a few movies in constant rotation on their VCR: Blues Brothers, The Exorcist, The Shining and Caddyshack. They let me watch them all. I had nightmares for years and years about The Exorcist.

It's the week for Random Roles with actors who had bit parts doing voices in Grand Theft Auto III.
Where were you when the AVClub gave two Fs in one day? I was at my computer.
And you don't even "like" the post that solves it? These people.
Dan Schneider thinks he's funny, which is how he got on Schneider's show All That. Schneider was also a producer on Kenan and Kel, which is how he got that. (And Schneider also created iCarly and Victorious, which is how Thompson got on the crossover episode a few months ago.) I can't help you with SNL.
I know I'm in the minority, but I've always thought Star Wars is the best movie in the series and Empire is overrated. Star Wars does have awful acting and dialogue, but so does every other movie in the series. I thought most of the first one was pretty exciting, whereas long stretches of Empire drag, like the Yoda…
This is awful and all, but it wouldn't be quite so terrible if the CGI in Star Wars films didn't look like crap. Look at the ewok blinking his eyes. Furry suit, furry suit, now here's a pair of cartoony eyelids pasted on.
Yeah. My favorite words in the entire game: "Let's split up!"
Oops, I forgot: the AI is still not the best, but maybe that's just the Deus Ex tradition. I've gotten away from guys running after me by going up a flight of stairs, which is evidently listed as a no-no in the bad guys handbook. They literally stopped chasing me as soon as they reached the first step.
I'm a huge fan of the original Deus Ex, and I think I'm getting close to the end of this one, and I have to say that I'm liking it a lot. There are some things that I don't like (the Star Wars problem where characters you know and love from the first game just happen to coincidentally show up, that there seems to be…
Other ridiculous crap about Invisible War included the mission system, where two people would simultaneously give you opposing tasks (which could be kind of cool.) Then you would choose one to perform, which would totally fuck up the other person giving you a task, but that person would shrug it off. Oh you just…
I just saw some Star Wars bedsheets on sale at the store with cartoony pictures of respect on them.
No kidding. If she looks and acts like she's over the hill now, what's she going to be like when she's 45?
Loved her in House of Yes, and loved that movie. Was also hoping to see her talk about it. Oh well.
How do you know I'm not?
I love the original, although admittedly, not for the reasons intended. The cheese factor is pretty awesome and the general 80s vibe is kind of cool. I thought it was a fun little movie that didn't really try to do too much.
I think cutting the sequence from the script entirely would have been better.
I thought the long shot toward the end of COM was totally unnecessary and just slowed shit down. The baby gets taken, the camera follows the action around for like ten damn minutes, then they get the baby back and the story continues on, not having advanced the plot at all.
How about now?
Are they gay now?
