We already had a Beetlejuice sequel, and it was on Community. That's enough for me.

The downvote on this one has to be a mistake. Or from the Dalai Lama.

I don't agree with you on the song, Where Smeagols Dare, but I like your username a lot and that "housekeeper's" line is hilarious. Made my morning.

I've never seen Friday Night Lights. I'll get to it, but isn't it going to be weird for me since I've seen Breaking Bad? I mean, unless Jesse Plemons' character goes around shooting people all the time, I might feel a little off-balance.

And Candyman is probably all: they say it once, I have to perk up and listen, in case they say it five times. Half they times the idiots think it's THREE, but I still have to wait around in case they get it right..

Does New York City insist that you call it New York's Central Park? That sounds like them…

Um. I don't know what kind of a dweeb this makes me, but I think this is a nearly perfect song. My favorite line is She said 'tell me, are you a Christian, child?' / and I said "Ma'am, I am tonight". For some reason that brings me to almost tears every time I hear it. Maybe it's the "ma'am", maybe it's that when

I get Ben and Leslie's costumes, they're great. What is Ann supposed to be? And is she wearing anything under that?

Ben might not be able to explain a Cersei/Littlefinger pairing, but bring Patton Oswalt back for another appearance at a city council meeting….

There's no reason it can't be A, B, AND C.
This America, man.

There's an age you need to be to apprreciate E.R. Burroughs, I think. I didn't get to the Mars stories till I was in my 20s so didn't like them as much as I did the Tarzan ones, which I started reading at 10. But I thought the John Carter movie was a fun time nonetheless.. In fact I think I liked it more than any

Hipster - I agree that the framing story wasn't necessary… but I liked it. [Spoiler I guess]: It proved that Carter wasn't only dedicated to getting back, but clever and patient as all hell. Plus.. my inner 13 year old fell right in love with the movie's Dejah Thoris.

My contention is that John Carter would have made a fuck-ton of money if they had just kept the the "of Mars" in the title. But in Hollywood it's a known fact that any movie with Mars in the title doesn't make money. (Though the actual fact is that a movie with "Mars" and "needs" and "Moms" in the title doesn't make

Well now. Giamatti would be a perfect PKDick, especially if the biopic was kinda sorta along the lines of the Harvey Pekar thing (that is, shifting points of view, some animation, etc). Philip K. Dick had a pretty filmable life — that is, many things happened to him, some of them real, though his interpretations of

Didn't I ever tell you about Bumbles? Bumbles bounce!

Been a long time since I read Carrion Comfort, but.. I kinda liked what happened when Gentry died. That is, didn't like him dead, but liked the fact that the narrative was put off-balance, because —- didn't he seem like he was gonna be the hero?
It reminds me of Psycho, wherein we're following

If there's not a band called Francis Bacon's Screaming Popes by the end of the week I will lose all faith in humanity.

I've only seen the movie once (and I liked it a lot) but what I remember most was a Hanks interview about the songs (by Adam Schlesinger and Howard Shore among others). Hanks said "we were looking for bad songs. Not "Sugar-Shack" bad, but…"
It's a phrase I've loved ever since - Sugar-Shack bad. But I kinda like

When I saw the above picture, I thought it was the cat puppet from Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. I realized it wasn't, then I thought "why the hell not, that cat's weird meow-meow speech impediment was scary as fuck!"
Then I read the headline and the whole thing is only about black cats. Seems kinda racist.
But thanks

Man, I never wanted to see this movie.. I'd read the book, which…. bleak? you betcha. Casting Tilda Swinton was a stroke of genius, I'm sure she did well, but.. I just didn't want to revisit the story, and can't imagine ever wanting to.
