The Lee Harvey Oswald episode was always tied for favorite with Sam being in 1960s New York where he about gets his throat slit in the salon of a small time mob boss' wife because the boss thinks Sam is having an affair with his wife.  The finale was so emotional for me as a kid (even though I saw it on syndication on…

Why do you think the streaming/VOD market is a temporary fix?  Yea, certainly a lot of bad movies will come out of this model, but the cream still usually floats to the top.  Hell, it's pretty easy for anyone to get out a crappy book, or especially a blog, but the interested populus always seems to figure out what…

While I loved it in theater and I'm pretty sure I own the DVD, the quirk of JUNO will not age well at all.  I will put it in the pile of "quirky films never to watch again so I can keep some nostalgia intact."  Also in that pile: GARDEN STATE, BROKEN FLOWERS, DARJEELING LIMITED, and possibly even LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE.…

I enjoy the theater as well, but having  access to basically anything in the world from the comfort of your own home is a small price to pay.  If you have an internet connection, a flat screen TV, plus Netflix and Amazon, you can basically stream any movie ever made for a relatively low price.  Nobody in the history…

In her defense (maybe), she never mentions Cobain's name in the letter.  Maybe she just expected the surviving members to make time to get together and send something back.  
Also… she could actually be a little bit retarded (like, seriously).

I've never heard anyone say VPI, except for my 80some year old grandfather who graduated there in the 1950s.  Even he has made the transition to calling them "Tech" in the last decade.

I'm a relatively big King fan, but I haven't read this book so I've been putting off the show.  After reading these reviews and comments (yours being the final camel paralyzer), I think I can survive without seeing it, and I usually see even the worst adaptations he makes.  Even as some of his writing has become…

"I will stand in the way of a bullet
I will run through a forest of flames
I will climb the highest of mountains
Just to show you I love you, I will"

You can make an argument for Kubrick filming Eyes Wide Shut or Bertolucci on Last Tango in Paris, but for my money, nobody has been nearly as successful at capturing sexy with a lense as Wiseau filming his own ass as he is writhing on Lisa for about five of the film's first 10 minutes. And what a tantalizing vixen of…

An F in English?  Bobby, you speak English.

His THE BACHMAN BOOKS is a great collection of 4 novellas in one. Has The Long Walk (already a fan fave)  and Rage (he wanted removed from circulation after it was believed to have caused a school shooting).  It is amazing how he makes a school shooter a fairly likeable character and not just in a feel pity for the…

Lisey's Story if you can handle him at his weirdest relationship depictions involving his weirdest characters.

@avclub-6f097e848d3e349ddf8763d4aaa943df:disqus the original cut of the shining had a scene (just before the final shot of the picture from 1921 on the wall) where Wendy and Danny were at a hospital and Ullman comes and says that Jack's body was never recovered before rolling the ball that Jack was bouncing over to…

I agree.  Mick Garris is not a good director, and while he does his best to be faithful to his King adaptations (basically his entire career), his TV movies always seem like 4-8 hour episodes of Are You Afraid of the Dark?  I do understand there are budget constraints and King's material is difficult to adapt because…

The Kubrick Shining is barely an adaptation of the King novel.  It has a lot of elements and character names in common, but so much of the storyline is omitted and changed, and the entire relationship between the family members is nothing like the book.  Maximum Overdrive is awful; King openly admits this.  I would…

I imagine his con will come into play again next season, probably so he can juxtapose what Don has been doing coming clean with everything. Maybe Don will somehow inspire Bob to do the same, but to different results. Remember, Don and Bob have barely appeared together on the show.

I still find good practical effects are much more realistic and affecting than even the best CGI.  The Alien in Predator, the rancor in Return of the Jedi, every creature in Pan's Labyrinth and anything else del Torro directs, even some of the early scenes in Jaws (particularly the two shots in the pond when the guy…

Is this kid (the emo OP) like the real deal or some absurdist sarcastic meme character?  He's on all kinds of threads, and I've more than once seen him try to hawk his "crunkcore" Youtube channel.

When I think of dedicating myself to a mysterious season that leads to absolutely nothing rewarding, I'm reminded of the hours I gave to JOHN FROM CINCINNATI.  I really believed for a few weeks that I was being abused by some Lynchesque masterpiece that would end up bringing it all together and helping me find new…

Plus Betty also makes that creepy rape joke about tying sally Sally up when she's in bed with Henry.
