I did some sleuthing on the IMDB triva page and it looks like the "funny" version of Chucky's voice that Dourif refers to was done by none other than Jessica friggin' Walters. That certainly would make it a very different movie.

Yeah, when Dourif brings up Wise Blood on his own and the interviewer just lets it slide to ask about Cuckoo's Nest, I was like "Dude, c'mon!". It's a great movie, but I'm sure Brad Dourif has said plenty about it over the years.

Exorcist III also has, for my money, the best jump scare scene ever committed to film. Such an under-rated movie.

On the other hand, tripping on acid with monkey spiders… hell no.

Me too. I spent a while squinting at Harry Shearer and trying to mentally make him bald and wearing glasses, before I went, oh fuck, that's Harry Shearer.

No, really, Spinal Tap is the kind of movie, if you've somehow made it to adulthood without ever seeing, you drop everything and watch like right away. A lot of shitty movies have been nominated for Oscars since 2013. Spinal Tap is one of the greatest comedies of all time and literally a touchstone for a ton of modern

I can't wait for the sketch where he does a terrible Church Lady, Hans and Franz, Spartan Cheerleader, Wild and Crazy Guy and then top it off with a completely tone-deaf "You look mah-velous."

That 1975 band sounded like a Contemporary Christian band from the early 90s. I usually sit through the musical performances just to see what people are into these days, but about one minute into the first song I was reaching for the fast forward button.

I was wondering who the old guy with the beard was, when I realized it was Telly from Kids. Who is the same age as me. Oh fuck.

I always thought Godfather 3 sucked too, until I realized that all three movies made up a haiku. What a dummy I was, thinking that the quality of a movie depended on that movie and not on some arbitrary linking structure that can be imposed on them so subtly that nobody realizes it for ten years!

OK guys, I just had to go check Wikipedia to make sure Garrett Morris is still alive. I hope you're proud of yourselves.

All I get from that is shame.

I'm about three stages into DmC and just started To the Moon, but since I'm spending the weekend in the picturesque Texas Hill Country I'll probably just be using my phone to play stupid Marvel Puzzle Quest Dark Reign which is slowly and steadily in the process of taking over my life. Damn you Level 64 Classic Storm!

Technically you could play CAH with three players but it gets exponentially better with more. Maybe you could have a house rule where everybody can play two white cards instead of just one.

I agree with Todd and Zach: when everybody gets all wink-wink about a twist in a movie and makes a big deal out of it without spoiling it, that often ends up being a bigger spoiler than the minor plot details the internet freaks out about. When I went to see Sixth Sense in its original run, I knew there was some big

That makes sense. Reading this, I had a weird moment where I was wondering if I had crossed over to an alternate dimension where Beau Bridges was on a dopey-sounding sitcom I've never heard of instead of Masters of Sex.

I remember thinking that home console graphics could not get better when I got the Genesis version where the 'busters had giant digitized heads that actually looked like the actors.

The Simpsons Game from a few years ago had its problems, but I thought it was at least as funny as a slightly better than average modern-era episode of the show. I know praise doesn't get much fainter, but still….

I made it through about 6 or 7 episodes and the closest was the origin story of a guy who apparently becomes a supervillain later. Most of what I saw were the kind of vaguely defined bad guys the A-Team used to fight.
