You shouldn't eat Raoul.  He seems to get around.

This is a fun documentary.  I wonder if Wynorski was always like this, or if this is just the way he is because he isn't getting paid all that much.  I just read about a casual interview with Stormy Daniels saying she got $800 for doing The Witches of Breastwick (for readers, this is the subject of Popatopolis), when…

@avclub-c6447300d99fdbf4f3f7966295b8b5be:disqus Totally agreed.  It was a movie that kind of said don't be an ass.  It was almost a retaliation to the popularity of the book, which was totally sexist.

Yup. That's what I remember. That scene made me cringe so hard.

The book was kind of a hybrid of The Twits (with the family), The BFG (with the teacher), and tortureporn for the school. Really, throwing kids into school versions of an Iron Maiden for punishment is superbly dark and not at all a bit cartoonish. The school was really really dark. And the inanity Matilda faced at the…

I'd never call her despicable or evil.  Just…done with it all.  In the game of tit for tat, she was always the second one, but she'd amp it up quite well.  As she told him after he destroyed the stove, "I expected a little more imagination out of you Oliver."

The track isn't damned.  The movie supposedly is.

What's missing from this is also how great the adaptation actually is.  If you've ever read the source material, you'll note that the book is almost a scathing indictment of feminism wrecking marriages, and practically exonerates Oliver from any wrongdoing.  The message seemed to be that women should stay in the…

Maybe I should rewatch it, but Matilda was my example of DeVito's worst movie.

I liked it until its ending.  It's the first compromised ending Danny DeVito has ever done.  DeVito's direction of the film is superb, but it is all for naught considering that it is fighting Adam Resnick's script, which, at times, is not as biting as the filmmaking is…especially towards the end.  Devito's direction…
