Everything Stephen Tobolowsky does is awesome. Therefore this is awesome.

Nice but lacks any real oomph. Can we assume the drums will be added in later?

Who's gonna represent Orange-Americans now?

Yes! It has absolutely nothing to do with the movie and it is hilarious.

I'm not sure what mental disorder causes me to remember this so clearly, but in the trailer for 'Timecop', Van Damme says (about the villain), 'He's not going back to steal money,' implying that the bad guy has something more sinister than simple theft going on.

Of course! It should go without saying that Prometheus shouldn't even be mentioned in the same paragraph as the AvP movies (like I just did); sub-par Ridley Scott is still worlds better than Paul WS Anderson or the doofuses who did AvP:Requiem at their best. It's just a damn shame about the script.

My two favorites ever:

What's interesting is that there aren't enough Tea Partiers to make or break a national candidate, so the GOP needs to pull the hat trick of appealing to Teabaggers, military hawks, and the religious right. Watching them trying to be simultaneously the party of Ayn Rand, George Patton, and Jesus is pretty funny,

Because the finished movie made no sense. My impression was that they had 3 or 4 versions of the script, and which script they were shooting from changed daily. Some versions were explicitly written as Alien prequels, and others were meant to stand alone. Some were scripts for a simple horror movie, some were

This. T2 was well done, but I more or less tuned out as soon as I first read that it was going to rehash the time travel plot from the first movie, rather than being set in the future and focusing on the adult John Connor.

I guess they're all prequels to Thelma & Louise.

The Truth According to IMDB: 'Amin had several British doctors in real life, but not a Scottish one. The character Dr. Nicholas Garrigan is loosely based on Bob Astles, a British soldier and diplomat who was one of Amin's confidants, but who fell out of favor with him, and was temporarily sent to Makindye Prison, one

And while it's ridiculously entertaining to watch the right destroy itself, I can't help but feel that this is eventually going to be very bad for everybody.

I felt the same way about 'The Last King of Scotland.' Thank god they inserted a fictional white guy into it, because the story of Idi Amin's rise to power just wasn't very compelling as-is.

The Wire knew how to end on a high note, too…

'"The Simpsons" message over and over again is that your moral authorities don't always have your best interests in mind. Teachers, principals, clergymen, politicians — for the Simpsons, they're all goofballs, and I think that's a great message for kids.' - Matt Groening, 1999 (http://www.motherjones.com/…

We prefer to use the term 'moobs.'

Don't forget about the craptacular 'The Specialist' starring Sly and Sharon Stone, one of the worst big-budget action movies ever made. Woods is the only bright spot in it, and you can take your pick as to why:

I read one of Carson's books, and I came away very impressed with his intelligence and his personal narrative… almost as much as I was disgusted by his irrational thinking and his 'return to traditional values' mania.

Besides all the other stuff (Moore's Bond visiting Tracy's grave, Anya mentioning her in TSWLM, Brosnan's Bond recognizing the jetpack from Thunderball, all of the shoutouts in DAD, etc), doesn't that theory get shot down as soon as Connery returns for DAF, then immediately leaves again?
