Nope, Ed's playing Rusty, all grown up. This is fresh in my mind after seeing the trailer before Mad Max only a few days ago.

I really thought my TV was bugging out during some of those shots, or that Jon Voight's character had unwittingly swallowed some mushrooms and we were sharing his visions.

I just watched this last night for the first time in decades, and I also think there's a lot more nuance than you're allowing for. Lewis (Burt) is a macho alpha male who knows the outdoors, but he's also a halfwit whose mistakes are the direct cause of everything that happens. He's also reduced to complete…

Except that back then you couldn't walk down the street without being offered a job.

I think even Donald Trump could get elected if he promised to waterboard Zack Braff on Good Morning America.

Surely the next step is obvious: a cable show where people yell at each other about Law & Order reruns.

35.7% of all cable subscribers seems like a pretty big number to me. It's more significant to me that only 2/3rds of those asked would pay for ABC, and the other networks are even lower than that.

I don't know… "Artery-clogged ignoramus" works but isn't very concise. Let me think about it.

If nothing else, this must be the least efficient way to show that, of all 6 movies, 'Attack of the Clones' is definitely the longest.

Too bad, I had the dream lineup of Ricky Gervais, Gordon Ramsay, and Helen Mirren in the office betting pool.

Because we're terrible at it… bear in mind that the average Yank thinks that Renee Zellweger nailed the accent in the 'Bridget Jones' movies, and that Gwyneth Paltrow can pass for a native Londoner.

I'm so glad the AV Club commemorated this. And yet, somehow, it's only my second-favorite Dock Ellis story. Read all about his mission to bean the entire Reds lineup one after another during a game in 1974:

Yeah, and when he finally had the juice to do what he wanted, he made 'Beyond the Sea'. But at least he's had a good run in the past 5 years or so, ie 'The Men Who Stare at Goats', 'Moon', and of course 'House of Cards'.

Yeah, I remember the feeling after watching that movie for the first time… yikes. Question for discussion: what would have happened if Mills hadn't been assigned to the case? How would John Doe have invoked Somerset's wrath? Even in 1995, it was hard to imagine anyone being able to piss Morgan Freeman off that much.

I always figured there was a good story explaining just why they needed to take that guy on the armored truck job. I like to think that Jon Voight's character owed somebody a favor and paid it back by putting that psycho on the crew for that one job.

My own favorite commentary track is the one from noted fictional film historian Kenneth Loring on the 'Blood Simple' DVD.

This article brings back memories of being a broke college student with weird musical tastes. I'd join BMG, get 6 free(ish) copies of whatever was popular, then trade them off at the used CD store for whatever "Brian Eno makes gamelan music with car horns"-type stuff I was interested in that week. I'm sure at least…

Two days into this thing and nobody's mentioned 'Heat' yet.

He was the best thing about 'Hudson Hawk,' but that's kind of like being the best Nickelback song.

Oh hell yeah! 'The Specialist' is one of the best bad movies ever. Someone needs to do a kickstarter for a solo James Woods commentary track. I always assumed that he was trying to get himself fired from the production.
