I always wanted "The Running Man", directed by Ridley Scott and starring Kevin Bacon. (This version would actually follow the book.)

Yeah, the generic "middle-eastern terrorists" thing is icky, but that's a 90's thing. The collapse of the USSR left movies grasping for 'generic bad guy' and that's where they landed for a good ten years. On a side note, when you watch Executive Decision now, they've redubbed the audio to remove all the explicit…

My favorite part of that movie was everything Bill Paxton, operating at peak scumbag. "She's like all these babes, you get their pilot lit, they could suck start a leafblower. And she's got the most incredible body too and a pair of titties that make you wanna stand up and beg for buttermilk. Ass like a ten year old…

It's always seemed to me that a prerequisite for really enjoying the show is finding Fred Armisen looking slightly constipated inherently hilarious.

ah, you beat me to it.

Clear liquors are for rich women on diets.

I want to see the movie where Alexander the Great says "I shall send my greatest general, bring me the brave and noble Cletus!"

The only problem with Martin's "Song of Ice and Fire" series is that he wrote himself into a corner. His primary characters needed to age up several years, but the world he'd created wasn't stable enough to just do a "five years later" jump, so he had to write those years where nothing much happened for most of the…

I think it needed to shift to mode 2 a long time ago, right around "Terminus". The cycle of "NEW crazy evil bad guy/guys" is just annoying. There are a lot of stories to tell about rebuilding society and the inevitable fallout from NOT being almost killed all the time. I want to see the stories where they start trying…

That's my general experience with Portlandia.

"Anaconda Malt Liquor . . . gives you oooooohhhhhh!"

Ah, I misread what you meant. Yes, actually, that's something that makes the flashbacks more vital than they've been for a long time, possibly since leaving the island. From the beginning, there's been the "how does douchebag Ollie become the stone-cold badass" question. Plus, you've got something that I saw as…

" was reminded of just how far Oliver is now from where he was at the very beginning of the pilot even though we're now (chronologically) only a few months away from that." The Arrowverse is moving along at the same rate we are. Even though a season might just last a couple of months, they make up for it during the…

Yeah, that's the thing, I spent the whole movie wondering how in the hell they could be doing the exact same stuff in the exact same way and yet fall so spectacularly short.

Holy shirt. Just started watching from the beginning and 20 minutes into the pilot, Eleanor's talking about how her parents are shitty people and she wonders if they're being used to torture each other in the Bad Place. They basically revealed the big end-season twist in the pilot.

Shrimp

Eleanor's description of her in the first episode as a "big beautiful, utterly perfect cartoon giraffe" was amazingly apt.

I think Eleanor's shown that she's heteroflexible through many, many, MANY comments made this season.

Goddamn, how often is it that your first boner-inducing crush also turns out to be fucking brilliant and funny as shit. She set a standard that every celebrity crush since has failed to live up to. From 19-40-ish, she was an absolute, breathtaking babe. But even when she aged beyond boner-fest, she stayed a badass,…

God, I missed this show. It manages to be gleefully batshit crazy while keeping everything completely in tune with the characters as they've been established. And by God, does it MOVE. A lesser comedy would take three or four seasons to get to where we are now.
