The guy's been in a wheelchair for most of his adult life (broke his neck in a diving mishap in college). And yet it doesn't make him any less of a douchebag.

Star Trek 4: Into Darkness 3

For me, the inconsistencies between (and within) the books, the BBC show, the radio program, the computer game, and the movie were part of the Hitchhiker charm.

Ugh, yes. And you don't want to get me started on 'The Stand'.

I understand King's final word on Kubrick's movie was "it's a beautiful car without an engine," and I totally agree. In every technical aspect, Kubrick's movie is a masterpiece. He just didn't care at all about the characters. It's still better than the miniseries, but I don't think either adaptation holds a candle…

Yes, it sounds like the same plot as 'Bulletproof', a particularly dumb 80s action movie starring the mighty Gary Busey as an unstoppable super-soldier with an inexplicable tendency to refer to all the bad guys (who, as here, are fundamentalist Muslim terrorists who have teamed up with Central American Commie…

Man, when I read "bizarre military mutt," I just assumed that this started life as a gritty reimagining of 'Dynomutt, Dog Wonder' until the effects budget dried up.

I was a stoner college student in the mid 90s and I thought 'Ted' was just OK.

In fairness, both Zevon (RIP) and the Skynyrd guys have writing credits on that awful song, so at least they/their estates are getting a piece of the royalties.

Well, don't want to sound like a dick or nothin', but, ah… it says on your chart that you're fucked up. Ah, you talk like a fag, and your shit's all retarded.

Am I alone in thinking that the Holodeck was the stupidest idea that Trek ever came up with? Nobody will EVER be able to justify that scene in 'First Contact', where Picard was able to massacre the Borg with a tommy gun that only exists as 1s and 0s in the simulation's memory banks.

RIP Mr Horner… Damn, 'Wrath of Khan', 'Braveheart', 'Apollo 13', 'Aliens'… I suppose I have to forgive him for also giving 'My Heart Will Go On' unto the world.

I don't think it's helped by the fact that, on the Internet, every movie is either the best or the worst movie ever made.

I think Burton's Batman movies were where his shortcomings were revealed; for the first time, it was really clear that he expends 99.9% of his energy and attention on the mood and atmosphere (ie sets, lighting, music, costumes and makeup) and the remaining 0.1% on story, character, acting, and all the other stuff.

Awesome job! I do wish you'd been able to ask about 'Hard to Kill.' Everyone who's worked with Seagal has a story about him either being a gigantic asshole or doing something batshit crazy, and I'm sure Sadler's no exception.

Oh sure, I remember the "Generic" aisle at my childhood supermarket. Just an endless row of white packaging with black text… "spaghetti", "cereal", etc. I seem to recall they eventually added blue and red stripes to the packaging to make it look sporty.

For super-creepy, don't overlook Sadler's brief appearance in 'Kinsey' as an all-purpose sexual deviant who can speak in clinical terms about his encounters with over 9000 people (including hundreds of children) and 22 species of animal. It's got to mean something that I can't find any quotes from that scene in any…

I also must admit to being very curious as to what a dinner of "Food" and "Beer" from 'Repo Man' would be like.

Because they're Jujyfruit. I like them. I didn't know it would start a chain reaction that would lead to the end of Pendant Publishing.

I can't think about product placement without immediately thinking about the Bond movies, and the one instance I found of them subtly mocking themselves on this front: in 'A View to a Kill', Walken's got Bond and whats-her-face trapped in an elevator, which he then sets ablaze with a Molotov cocktail… which he's made…
