This may be the only pun I've ever genuinely enjoyed

The level of madness in this comment is surpassed only by its absolute, objective wrongness. Kelly Maxwell is the greatest, and her sexy, throaty voice is only icing on the fowl-mouthed, demon-slaying cake.

Therrrrrrre it is

20 Minutes of Music-Palooza

At this point, it's more Secretary of Flushing Your Meds

"Nice apartment, Prime Minister." [Snickers, makes elaborate jerk-off motion with hand]

I believe the "Grow Up You Fucking Baby" amendment was discussed in 1971, but died on the floor.

If you look in one of the last comics, TV Head CLEARLY displays the logo from Hey, Dude's final season, then, in the next panel, is showing the logo from the first. It's so obvious, I can't believe more people haven't picked up on it.

Well, neither is James Baldwin. That's the joke.

Adam's the racist one.

For some reason, reading it written out makes it much less inane than seeing it drawn.

Oh, man, Falling Down. When I was young I kinda liked it because I identified with the (now, looking back, deeply childish) "Fuck the world, man" attitude Michael Douglas's character exuded. He'd been beaten down by life, was tired of being pushed around, and he wasn't going to take it anymore. Howard Beale with a

Oh, man. That it is (a variation) on of my favorite, gallingly stupid lines from Heist. One of my other favorites is this classic exchange:

Insomnia is an absolutely underrated film that has not one but two notorious hams (Pacino is the other) playing it quiet. Robin Williams has never been more subdued (or chilling) as he was in that movie, and it's the only time I've seen latter day Pacino play desperate without screaming.

Two points of contention: I love The Edge. It's got a Boy's Adventure vibe to it, it's essentially Hatchet with some infidelity thrown in, the way Baldwin finds infinite variations on the name "Charles", and to date, it's the only movie where you get to hear Anthony Hopkins call a bear puppet a "motherfucker."

I'm going to put my vote in for House of Games or Spartan (Aside from Glengarry or State and Main). As I said above, the best thing about this movie is that hit was handsomely shot, sustains the mood, and gets a nice, subdued performance out of Steve Martin. But otherwise, it's the cinematic equivalent of June's

To your point, I saw this movie for the first time a few years ago, and you know what ruined all the surprises for me? The fucking title. If you know anything about cons (which I did because I love true crime and crime fiction) the movie is just…exactly the scam. To the letter. No real meaningful variation, no left

I thought she was pretty charming, if a little stiff. Others, however, seem to regard her juuuust above Britney Spears in Crossroads

I'm surprised at all the Pidgeon hate here. Of all of her performances, I thought this was easily her best and least mannered.

Agreed. You'd need to hire someone extremely charming, work in some V.O. and tone down the violence. To your point, I was stunned when I finally read "The Deep Blue Goodbye" (I had read two others previously, "The Quick Red Fox" and one other, out of order and based purely on the covers. In my defense, I was 13.) For
