I look forward to some wonderfully regressive gender politics about how female Jedi Knights should concentrate on having a family instead of fighting the Sith.

"Fast Times" was a briefly-lived series based on "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," with Ray Walston reprising his roles as Mr. Hand, and Courtney Thorne-Smith and Dean Cameron replacing Jennifer Jason Leigh and Sean Penn.

"Black injected his own sensibility into the character, which is something he hadn’t really done in any of his previous film performances."

What about Joe Namath on The Simpsons?

The United Way spoof of him whipping footballs at little kids and telling them to walk it off might be the best thing SNL's done in the last 15 years.

Now Johnny Unitas, there's a haircut you could set your watch to.

My thoughts exactly. Just sounded like pure gibberish to me.

There's always 3 seasons of "No, You Shut Up!" on YouTube to get you through.

Speaking of YA adaptations, I just started reading "Airborn" by Kenneth Oppel and can't stop thinking "Why hasn't anybody made this into a movie yet?" Apparently, some producers were interested but ended up dropping the property, and I can't imagine why. It's a really cinematic book and reads like a film to begin…

And yet the movie will still be unwatchable, migrane-inducing dreck, which just goes to prove that, no matter how many talented people you have in your writers' room, Michael Bay can still ruin everything he touches.

One of my favorite movie-going memories is seeing Jurassic Park at the very first showing (11:30 am, IIRC) on opening day. It's a cherished memory not b/c the movie's great (it's okay, but nothing compared to my Spielbergian holy trinity of Jaws, Close Encounters or Raiders), but b/c of all the dipshit parents who…

Yup, even when he was the "it boy" on SNL, I found him to be a marginal, one-note talent. He's the idiot fratboy who thinks screaming in somebody's ear and getting drunk & puking off a balcony is comedy.

Red Letter Media covered this 4 years ago with their masterful Jack & Jill deconstruction/annihilation. Sandler makes lazy, cheap, shitty movies, casts his lazy, untalented friends, gets them huge paydays, and then cons his audience by delivering a minimal effort "movie" that's basically just a commercial for various…

Huh, and here I figured the Germans were angry because Baron Von Strucker is in it.

Hey, maybe God's in to stuff like that . . .

I remember once reading Michael Caine described as a great actor who, in the grand tradition of Peter Cushing, never turned down any role that was offered to him. Seems to fit for both Hackman & Freeman, too.

So the Twitterverse is outraged that Oscars ignored a dead woman who the Twitterverse universally regarded as an unfunny, irrelevant, washed up hack while she was still alive. Color me stunned.

My sister has been desperately avoiding spoilers for Gone Girl since October. I'm guessing she lost her shit tonight.

Russell Crowe's mind prefers the hands-on touch you only get with hired goons.

I'm really glad it wasn't since I haven't seen it yet & the Oscars seemed hellbent on giving spoilers for every movie that was nominated this year.
