I saw Robert Z'Dar at a horror convention once.  His face took up most of his booth.  He looked like an older, live-action Quagmire from Family Guy.

Something something Manic Pixie Dream Cop.

Guillermo del Toro named it as his favorite horror movie of all time as well as the movie that inspired him to pick up a camera.

Wrong.  Raw Meat is incredible.  There are few joys greater than watching Donald Pleasance telling nancyboys to get haircuts, and then playing the dozens with Christopher Lee.  There's also a pretty amazing 5 minute 360 tracking shot that tells a huge portion of the story without a single word and one of the most

People probably forget or just don't realize how ruined Batman was by the TV show.  Tim Burton had to make a Batman movie for an audience that expected to see POW! and BIFF! every time he punched somebody. The campiness of the sequels was a lingering effect of a generation who grew up thinking of Batman as a comedic

Shall We Throttle Busty Models and Pin it on the Expat?

Rule #1 for enjoying Argento movies: drink in the amazing music and visuals, don't worry too much about the story not making a goddamn bit of sense.

Pico de Giallo makes a great condiment for your Halloween party.  Just be sure you dice the eyeballs up fine enough, otherwise they get gummy.

Soccer?

More like a lot. What's the point of making a hoax-y internet urban legend if you're going to make it blindingly obvious that it's not real?

I always liked Chim Chim, but it might just be because I saw them a lot when it came out and they always put on amazing shows.  In the Cube, Beergut, Alcoholic, Chim Chim - those are all pretty decent songs.  Stupid lyrics, granted, but hey - at the time I was a big Sublime fan and I smoked a ton of pot so I was cool

Every time I go to a live show and I'm not quite ready to rock, I get outvoted.

Cue the Soldier quotefest!

I used to work as a DJ at a country radio station in rural Alabama (AKA about as "real country" as you can get).  I very specifically was not allowed to play any classic country except once every couple of hours if we needed a time filler and even then it couldn't be more than 20 years old.  Mostly we just played

Agreed.  This is an awesome feature for people like me who are interested in whatever the hell it is DC is doing/has been doing (the only DC comic I've read in recent years is All-Star Superman) but are honestly never going to pick up any of these books, except maybe any breakouts once they're collected in graphic

First of all: MACHETE motherfuckers!

I just realized that, as a regular AVClub reader, I know more about MohdTaufiqTerrorist than I do about some of my best friends.

I liked the part where they ate pie and then acted all macho and homoerotic.
