UPVOTED FOR TASTE OF BEAVERTON

It would be a two star movie but the "People Against Goodness and Normalcy" joke bumps it up 1/4 star as does Dabney Coleman saying "balls big as chuuch bells" bring the total to 2 1/2 stars.

"On the other side, you have people like Eric Clapton or Janis Joplin,
who were once critical catnip but are now generally looked upon pretty
unfavorably."
In Clapton's case Wonderful Tonight was powerfully terrible enough to make everything he did prior to it retroactively crappy.

You are correct, Preparation Heche.

Sneakers? That isn't even the most underrated Dan Aykroyd movie.

It's way better that he saw the poster in Brixton than in, say, Chelsea.

That's a very solid point. He'd be reliably disinterested and dismissive to the whole proceeding after a few months at the most.

Eh. I get it, having read those Noam Chomsky books in college and whatnot. Pretty good gag, I guess. The strident can always stand to be mocked.

Jet Jaguar doesn't hum, he buzzes!

She made him wear Logray's bird-skull headdress thing. Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

The whole, largely unfulfilled, promise of the Franco and the apes movie was that monkeys were going to fuck shit up. If this sequel is basically Red Dawn but with monkeys instead of C. Thomas Howell then I'll be there opening day.

I remember that one. It had me thinking, "Poor old Sly, they'll surely put him out to direct to DVD pasture after this one."

Agreed. Jenkins and Moretz were both better than the actors who played their roles in the originals, the boy was appropriately creepier and less sympathetic than in the original, no cat scene, the bullies in the U.S. version were far more menacing, and Elias Koteas got a paycheck to boot.

UPVOTED FOR RASTA HAIR

Yeah, I don't follow it either. I mean, Spidey is by far my favorite superhero and the first two Raimi movies were great but even when I had the opportunity to watch the reboot for free on a plane I made it about five minutes in before I switched over to fuckin' Jeff Who Lives at Home, a terrible movie starring two…

@avclub-09f700cd7fcae2e9f63ea6cdb7aa76b0:disqus I'm guessing that you never saw a little movie called Spider-Man. If you liked The Amazing Spider Man you'd really be blown away by that one.

Surprising though it is, Sony apparently likes money as much as it hates effort.

Ah. That is a crucial distinction.

57 Channels and Nothing On! Man, that song has not aged well. There's at least twice that many channels now.

This is not the story I've been hearing for some time. Please elaborate.
