And now she's in the Saw movies. She's like a Scream Queen or something.

Scooter jump
I bet a hater like Shitdicknipples couldn't do a bitching scooter leap like that! Though I'm surprised that someone called Sexman could have such a bad opinion of porn. Surely it would be right up Sexman's alley? And what does he think about the situation in Myanmar? Did Rambo educate him as to the…

Season four's purpose
This season has definitely been about letting House be an entertaining jerk, but I've begun to suspect that the producers and writers have finally realised that the medical mysteries provide more than enough drama for the show, and having House be miserable, chased by vengeful policemen,…

No, seriously, weird
That I just noticed this article while watching The Black Dahlia on Sky Movies. It's even worse second time around, though Fiona Shaw's demented performance makes up for a lot.

Weird

He's doing a sprawling and ambitious trilogy finale wrapping everything up. The critical indifference and disappointment towards The Black Dossier depresses me. Maybe people were hoping for something different. Hopefully over time it will be reappraised.

Rik, I'm living proof that it's possible to appreciate the craft of a filmmaker who cares for every component moment of his movie and how they fit into a larger whole, and to also be entertained by someone who throws everything at the screen with abandon because he knows it looks kewl. He might not be Kurosawa, but he…

Not enough topless ducks. Darabont is racialist against ducks, that big jerk.

ILM
Though the film is horrid, Mr. Rabin hit on part of its appeal when he mentioned Phil Tippett's awesome go-motion animation at the end. ILM's animation departments had a lot of fun with the energy effects too. At the time, the FX sequences were cutting edge, and are still unlike anything else out there. As a…

Ty Templeton and Juan Padillo are doing a new Howard mini series. It's okay, but the Gerber originals are where it's at. They're smart and stupid and sad and funny all at the same time. Mr. Rabin, you owe it to yourself to read them.

Actually, it was just that one scene, but I have a horrible feeling that, in time, I'll see it more than four times, just like I've seen The Wicker Man or Dreamcatcher a bunch of times. It's that kind of awesome bad.

You make good points, S. Criminal, though I think what I was trying to do was subconsciously come out as a fan of Michael Bay while dissing Besson. (I can't stand The Fifth Element and have seen it about a dozen times. What's that about?)

Give us your tired, your stupid masses…

"He's like the American Luc Besson."

buysbeer4minors, that's exactly how I felt after seeing it. That premise sounded unfuckupable, but it was sheer anti-fun, filled with lousy filmmaking and zero laughs. It turned a long flight into a marathon torture experiment (didn't help that I watched it right after seeing Breach, and damn Chris Cooper needs some…

Can't believe this list missed out…
… I Know You Killed Me, Southland Tales, The Reaping, Spider-Man 3 (worse than Pirates 3), and the execrable Japanese time-travel farce Bubble Fiction: Boom or Bust. How bad can these films be? It's actually kinda scary to think I didn't see the worst films of the year.

Santiago's debut
The game scene, from the moment Santiago puked to his last scene with Buddy, was one of the best directed scenes of the season. It felt like we were inside his head throughout, and the shot of his crazed eyes with the panting and everything was terrifying.

Age red.

Jindabyne
She deserves an Oscar for her performance in that. Her fury and indignation are shattering. She was great in Breach, too, even though she only had a minor part. As someone else here has said, she's come a long way from fighting super-apes in Congo.

Ryan and his clones
I love that Ryan was sitting at a canteen table with two guys wearing identical suits, with identical haircuts and beards. Didn't love Kelly talking smack. Trash. Whatever. She was so mean! What the hell was that about?
