Carrie Meets Emmanuelle

But how many of those were actually any good? Movies that tank and deserved to don't really count for much. So point out a good, but overlooked R-rated action movie from the past 5 years and we'll have a discussion about that, but otherwise the claim of "they don't make them like they used to" still stands.

Same director and star as The Raid. It was the first film they made together.

And I bet he'd be an even more badass gay man.

I can't help but look at this and think of how awesome it would look like if this was still 1995. I still haven't been able to make peace with Trent's new dude-bro look.

Exactly. There's no agenda or manipulation. It doesn't even try to present itself with a voyeuristic approach. Just the idea that you're watching things that happened. And with the low budget and location shooting it helps to sell the idea even further that you're watching some sort of dispassionate record. It lets…

Kairo (aka Pulse) was very good in my opinion. It brought in a sense of existential dread that's rarely well articulated in horror films. Definitely a top 10 for me. The Asian horror boom was just as rife with cliches as anything else, but there were still some notable standouts that did something different.

It is a tough claim, but it's also one of the very, very few horror films that says "this is a thing that actually happens and this is what it really looks like".

It remains to be seen how it's going to be handled, but if they do it well Rising Tide will be less of the stock terrorist organization it could end up being. They way they introduce Skye makes them seem quite reasonable. More akin to Wikileaks or Anonymous than your generic movie/tv terrorist organization. The…

It almost surprises me that Ikki Tousen didn't make an appearance. School rivalries are far more interesting when they involve the spirits of Three Kingdoms-era warriors facing off through high school girls. And in the time-honored method of punching their clothes off.

Nah, it's The Citadel (A Song of Ice and Fire) vs. The University (Kingkiller Chronicles). Each world only has one notable university so they had to cross-over in order to have a decent rivalry.

I never paid enough attention to it, but after reading this article I think I'd rather go to Central with all their easy women.

This cannot be overstated. Maybe learn to use links for once rather than embedding all of them.

I don't think he fully came into his own until Futurama though.

I saw this a while back, but I honestly can't recall much of anything about it beyond the central premise. Maybe it takes a much larger focus on empathy (both in general and for fictional characters) than I have.

Hey, you should come over and we can play Gamecube.

Brotherly Love. Totally would work. Two dudes who just love banging each other. Lots of explicit, but relevant man-on-man action. Everyone who doesn't complain that it's an abomination will love HBO for willing to push the envelope and put something on TV that we likely wouldn't see otherwise.

The question right now is really more about where Boardwalk Empire leaves off because they've already incorporated a large number of the major figures that would be involved here. Pretty much by definition it would have to since the Five Families came about in 1931.

Well, we did have Bowie's cock. And the implication that that entire film was about her coming to terms with wanting it.

And yet he isn't afraid of his poor grammar, lack of apostrophes in contractions, and use of all-caps? Maybe he should get his priorities in order first. Start small.
