I didn't like Southland Tales the first time I saw it, but that didn't stop me from watching it again. Bad movie or not, there's too much interesting stuff happening for it to be ignored. And as someone who thought the first Crank was a bit of unintentional genius upon release, I was really happy to see that Crank 2…

Or you know, it could be your skeezy, underhanded advice. But whatever, you'll probably just tell me that paying off reviewers is way more common than I think it is, or that in a cutthroat industry you have to take whatever advantages are available to you.

Hey, I'm pretty sure it's spinynorman! Good luck with your first novel. And come back to assetbar sometime.

I remember the theatrical ending being pretty funny anyway. "The doctors said I was gonna be okay because none of the bullets hit any of my vital organs. Except my liver, which was fucked anyway. Hahaha."

Eight sims. One fireplace. Hundreds of wooden chairs. No doors. Last man standing wins.

The Rejects
I think I like this list better than the main one. Although I'm still not sure why people are convinced that Idiocracy was clever, or good for that matter.

Hell yes the shootout in Life Aquatic. I know I'm not the first one to suggest this, but I love that the whole crazy setpiece is like one big Max Fischer action sequence. So gleefully dumb. 'You forgot your dog, you amateurs!'

"I'm a salami writer. I try to write good salami, but salami is salami."

Agreed, Miller. I thought it was pretty incredible that Robinson found a way to slyly but believable pass the protagonist hat from Sherman to Ed.

@vaeprouc: There's already something like that here: http://www.beaucoupkevin.co…

Move along, folks. Nothing to see here.

I think that's probably a necessary evil. When you spend years and tens of thousands of dollars in exchange for something as intangible as an education, you damn well better make sure everyone knows it's important.

Is that peanut butter thing some folksy euphemism I've never heard? That line has left me scratching my head until raw and bloody.

Dreamcatcher is one of my favourite so-bad-it's-good movies, and I've seen it more than once. Back in high school, I watched it with a buddy, completely drunk, and we ran a full-scale explication of the film's themes, metaphors, use of archetypes and leitmotifs. If we had recorded it, I'm convinced that it would…

Wait a Minute…
…so a new Halo game that rehashes the same old formula and has an admittedly lackluster campaign mode DOESN'T garner an A+++ review? I'm pleasantly shocked.

I had a friend in high school who thought "Frankenskank" would be a good name for a ska band.

Let's not start this again.

I guess, but I always thought someone had to do something genuinely great to be forever excused from criticism. I mean I find Cross pretty funny, and if he's in something, I'll probably watch it, but come on. He was good in Arrested Development, but definitely one of the broadest characters, his stand-up is funny, but…

Lifetime Pass Status
Why is it that every time David Cross is mentioned on this site, someone has to bring up that he's earned a lifetime pass? I mean, even the writers? And it's always phrased that exact same way?

I've seen a bit of Bon Cop Bad Cop, and it seemed like an awful attempt to shoehorn English/Francophone politics into a standard thriller. That seems to be the problem with most of this countries creative efforts; far too great a focus on specifically Canadian issues. I imagine our films would be pretty alienating to…
