It's maybe in competition with having Samuel Jackson get eaten by the shark in the middle of his stupid speech.

I thought you believed it was one of those movies that has mysteriously never had a DVD release. I certainly agree it should be released again with decent packaging. (I have the VHS version of that DVD, which has the same art, and yeah, it's bad.) If Fast Company can get a super-deluxe issue, why not this much more…

He just had a new movie in development
He'd written it and was going to direct it. Very bad timing, not just because he was only 63.

It is though. But maybe just in Canada. Anyway, great movie, and I hope the quotation marks around the word "inspired" aren't meant to imply that there was something wrong with being inspired by, or even a little sticky-fingered of, such a fine film.

You should not drink and bake.

But you told the co-worker that he looked like Dan O'Bannon. Failed firsties.

Dark Star is an awesome movie. Yes, they wake up the dead captain to ask for advice, but he's just whiny and contrary and complains endlessly about his resurrection. Using an epistemological discussion with the bomb itself to avoid catastrophe is hilarious and brilliant. The characterization of Pinback - a janitor who…

As long as it's not Reality Bites Joe Don Baker. And the cape Fear one would be a bad choice - he gets soundly owned by DeNiro in that photoplay.

Have you all seen The Story of Ricky? Powerful stuff.

The thing that will be frustrating for both you and mind-blown fanboys is that it's neither a big fail or a big brilliant masterpiece. On the other hand it's sort of like that tree that Luke had to go into. What's in there, Mister Yoda, I remember him asking. Only what you have packed in your suitcase, Luke, the old…

paid or blown?

When I first heard the idea, I painted a portrait of Howard and sent it to the studio as encouragement. But now it doesn't seem to be happening after all, and I want my canvas back.

There's no rule that says a kangaroo can't wear boxing gloves on its hands and then kick people in the head with its feet.

Titanic stunk up the seven seas, but I've just come from Avatar, and while it could do with a little genuine humanity and maybe a little more complexity (okay, a lot), it's nowhere near the stinkfest that boat movie was.

I saw this in the theatre.
There was a rash of monkey movies in the mid-90s and my friends and I went to them all. This one was one of the best, and we had the poster up in our communal monkey-loving dwelling.
