@^ Too much effort and you'd be the only one who got it. I'll just go you one better and stop posting altogether. Back to lurking (and you're welcome, I guess).

Proof that not only are reality TV producers uncreative, they're also gutless
Am I the only one who thought coming in that a "Canadian Jersey Shore" would be based on some broad (or invented) Quebecois stereotype? Large-chested girls smearing poutine over their breasts for strangers to lick off, a line of orange,…

Is it Channing Tatum or his agent who's the desperate one?
The amount of movies that guy's attached to or appearing in indicates one or both is aware that someone with a mush face and a voice that makes him sound 30 IQ points at a minimum below any character he's likely to play has a limited shelf life, right?…

Exploitation movies had such precise, unashamed marketing. What's with the artsy bit of not capitalizing anything in the second half of the title, though? And how many of those shots are cropped and lifted directly from Playboy? And was there a quality control position on the Playboy staff in the '70s-'80s to make…

Would it be another distraction to know that the Spanish language title is "Querido profesor?" Because it doesn't mean what you think it might, either.

I think the video is meant more for as a message for gay teens in Arkansas and elsewhere than anything else, but if there's a side goal of helping to make sure a guy who says that gay kids should kill themselves or that he would enjoy it if they got AIDS and died can't hold elected office or anything like it again,…

Sometimes a cigar just hates gay people
I don't know about this tack of assuming that homophobes must be latent homosexuals. It is, in a way, a generous view. "There's got to be a reason for the fear and the hate." But, it can also either sound something like "Oh, stop. You know you want to be me." or "You don't like…

Frankie Muniz would've been worth $159.99 or $161.01. What's the difference? (God damned Frankie Muniz. Thinks he's such hot shit.)

@Watcho Much like yourself and her, I've gotten past worrying about what everyone else thinks. I can now freely say "Look, everyone knows the truly dreamy one in Firestarter was David Keith," haters be damned. I'm just glad that you kids are doing O.K. these days and your sugar mama's apparently got enough of a…

12:12 is reasonable. Let's just casually step around (or, hell, sashay past if you please) the later part where a 9 year-old Watcho sits on his couch watching Firestarter and not only thinks to himself "I would screw the bejesus out of that little pyro" but that she feels the same way about him.

Which he can then spend on The Craziest Shit Imaginable.

According to IMDb, Ghost Rider made $115 million in the U.S. on a $110 million budget. Don't know about overseas, but the fact that 1. It did that much and 2. A studio agreed to a $110 million budget for it (and then a sequel) would appear to confirm that yeah, Cage can probably (by their terms) justifiably write his…

Well, maybe not cool points. Call it a reputation. Wasn't she the "thinking man's sex symbol," the acceptable Hollywood crush? Intelligence, "refined beauty," particular standards when it came to which roles she'd accept. Now look at her. Just (fucking) look.

And yet you know he doesn't take himself too seriously (or at least has respect for some) because he let someone who's a lot closer to that description than he is (Pacino) manhandle him in Heat. Even though there is (or was) a difference of maybe 40-50 pounds of muscle between them when Michael Mann said "O.K. Henry.…

I've heard about the existence of a gay punk rock scene in passing, but could one ever thrive with hetero support? Yeah, you think you're anti-establishment and have no interest in conforming to societal norms, but how about you slam dance to the guttural frenzy of a guy singing about the joy of taking a cock in the…

We're glossing over something important here
Yeah, yeah, Owen Wilson's got another high concept sex comedy coming out. It's what he does. Natalie Portman made a fuckbuddy rom-com with Ashton Kutcher? What the ever loving Christ? The cool points she must think she's accumulated to get away with that. Well, I won't…

The first 20 seconds of that song almost did it for me. If the last words I hear are "You know you won .. the wet t-shirt contest MOTHERFUCKER!" I won't be able to bring myself to complain even as I'm being sprayed by AK fire.

@SouthofHeaven Yes on Sweeney Todd. Say what you want about "Burtonizing" old content, to me that's an example of it working well.

At least this time more people know the original work than the later adaptation so we can be spared the "reassurance" that neither Burton nor Depp nor the screenwriter has even seen that version most people who'd get excited about it know and love.

That's something I'm curious about. Any addiction specialists or someone in a related field reading these comments, by chance? Because how does intoxication affect your mind? If it has some Tourettes-like effect in certain people of removing the filter preventing you from speaking whatever ugly or silly thought…
