It took 15 years, but Norm McDonald's underrated "Dirty Work" made it o.k. to laugh at rape again, when he was gang-raped off-screen by some cell mates:

I love the movie and had no idea there was a commentary out there. Armstrong is taking it way too seriously though. Within the context of the silly world of this movie, the scene works fine (and off course Betty is none too concerned that she was tricked).

I love your summation of the scene and its meaning!

Fine. But most of the film looks 10 times more realistic than the crap today.

I'm tired of all this Die Hard 2 hate. It is CLEARLY the best of the sequels. Yes, it was DUMB, but I would argue part 3 was dumber. The defense:

Veggie Boy! I like it!

"Sometimes people just die"
"Not today."

Perfect! I recently posted something similar before seeing your post. You articulated it way better than I did though! I LOVE McDowell in this movie.

I don't know. I thought she was just so angelic in this which is what I think is necessary to turn the cynical Murray around. She was so pure, caring, and intelligent that I couldn't see how Murray would NOT fall for her.

That's what I was thinking. Such a great underrated movie and Murray is just unbelievable. He did the self-hating gangster thing way before James Gandolfini.

Memo to AV club writers (if you're listening): PLEASE bring back TV Club classic of Cheers (it was stopped after Season 2).

He was also in 12 Years a Slave. I had no idea and was shocked when I saw him.

So Kelly's crappy output post Darko somehow makes it "overrated'? That's some logic there.

The Head Over Heels sequence is incredible; the music, choreography, and editing is perfect. Maybe Kelly was a one hit wonder, but I still love this movie: so mysterious and creepy yet compassionate and humorous.

@Senator: You called Dark Knight the best film of the 2000's and I'M the radical?

I can't believe you're defending that scene. I'm not refuting your explanation, but that doesn't make it any less of an idiotic contrivance to keep Two-Face from killing the Joker right there.
