The 80s Britain one, which is just a gigantic tribute to Alan Moore (complete with John Constantine parody, and a pissed-off Miracleman who "never wanted to be edgy").

Hell yes. Reiser's character in Aliens was a sleazy corporate douchebag, and he played it to perfection. On top of that, the film as a whole is exciting, funny and has characters you actually care about.

Is that the one that ends with the hero and villain fighting in a big pile of grain on a cargo ship?

I am also one of those horrible, horrible people who actually doesn't mind Jason Reitman. Also, see my point above about costume drama overload.

"living in Britain" - Britina is not a real place.

I found the comment on Pulp Fiction in the article pretty interesting. Has there been a recent Merchant Ivory-"type" film that was a box-office success? The only one I can think of is The English Patient.

Does he at least bring along that gigantic water bottle he used in The Sopranos?

But not Being John Malkovich.

Yes, HP Sauce, but in a delicious twist of irony, stuff that nobody likes invariably gets the most comments (see: Jersey Shore, that Fast and the Furious Newswire article, etc. etc.)

"Kimchi would be a better analogy."

It's nice that Sam Adams hasn't in fact missed out on seeing The Assassination Of Jesse James. That's a great film.

That's another rule, ghidorah: any Hollywood movie about the Poor, Downtrodden Irish (usually featuring soaring flute music on the soundtrack) makes me grit my teeth and is to be avoided. Titanic is about the worst offender in this regard, but Gangs Of New York had enough of it to annoy me.

Sam Peckinpah's oeuvre is pretty rapey.

Who is Josh Wedon, and why are people always talking about him on the A.V. Club?

Maybe this is more of a "favourite artists"-type answer…
…but I will watch any film directed by the Coen brothers, David Lynch, Steven Soderbergh, Christopher Nolan, Michael Mann, Park Chan-Wook, or Shane Meadows. Also, anything written and/or directed by Charlie Kaufman.

If Mike D'Angelo pans a film (Children Of Men, Synecdoche, New York, A Prophet), it's odds-on that film will be brilliant.

Yeah, I've never been into horror movies, with a couple of expections - The Shining is one of my favourite films ever, and I loved The Devil's Backbone. But generally I just don't care for horror films. The same with musicals - I don't actively hate them, but I've realised they're not for me.

If only because he missed out on seeing The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford - one of the most powerful, clever, beautiful and moving films of the last decade - because he enjoys bitching about nebulous 'quirk'.

The Jason Albert bit was hilarious - like an Onion article come to life. Is he going to follow up by ostentatiously mentioning that he doesn't own a television?

Damn straight. One of the best films of last year (that I got to see this year). One thing I particularly loved about it was that in amongst the grit and realism, it had room for some lyrical, abstract sequences - the appearances of the [SPOILER] murdered prisoner, and the images of the deer running through the woods.…
