Were we okay…
…with Johnny Depp in Indianface?

Who's the best? People who complain about a plot point on "The Walking Dead" being stupid while not understanding are the best.

It is. Dawson is awesome in the part. But nothing else in the movie is cool.

Everyone who reads these boards?

Umm, nobody executed John Brown for Pottawatomie Creek, where he led the killing of proslavery settlers or for Ossawatomie, where he led a defensive battle against a proslavery raid. The executed him for attacking a fucking U.S. Army post. Which is obviously treasonous. Brown probably intended for them to do so, given

Why did douchebags decide that the term "flash mob" didn't mean "a bunch of annoying assholes showing up at a particular time and place together as part of a stupid stunt" and did mean "a bunch of volent assholes beating the shit out of someone for no apparent reason?" Because we need to keep our terms straight.

Oh, come off it Lobsters. You hate liberals of every color, not just the white ones.

Yeah, the "Strange Days" couple that qualifies is Bassett and Fiennes, who do hook up at the end, not Fiennes and Lewis. He's a dirty, broke scifi drug dealer who's obsessed with the horrible Juliet Lewis.

Rogen and Heigl also aren't necessarily together at the end of the movie. They could just as well be headed for a life of cordial, polite co-parenting, while Rogen marries a fellow fun, chubby stoner and Heigl marries Ryan Seacrest.

Just exactly what script changes should Bateman have suggested to make a body swap comedy co-starring Ryan Reynolds funny?

"The Man Show" was kind of walking the line of parody or not. It was for people who were smart enough to see it as parody, but happy to watch the girls on trampolines.

Vaguely…
…remembered gritty 90s version "Snow White: A Tale of Terror," who knew you were a genius idea?

"A League of their Own" is really about the best heartwarming movie about women's baseball that Hollywood is going to make. I find Hanks really, really funny and the movie avoids a lot of schmaltzyness it could have gone for. Jimmy Dugan never comes out and makes a big speech in front of the team about how he now

Williams thinks he's a comic actor but is far better as a dramatic one. Affleck thinks he's a lead but is far better as a character actor.

This would be awesome. A conventional movie would probably not be.

I read maybe the first 60 or 70 pages and I was pretty shocked that these were mega popular thrillers. It was extremely 'tell, not show' mumbling about the mostly boring journalistic doings of the main guy. The girl, I think, showed up in one scene. I guess I might have kept reading, but the library wanted it back and

I thought that was just a crazy little cherry on top of an already crazy-ass movie. It's kind of a half-ass "Hearts of Darkness" deal where Spike's movie about the excessive 70s is so excessive it's fun.

Didn't he re-write "The Gunslinger" to make it more conventionally Kingian? I've only read the original verison.

The New Yorker asked him about it a little.

I missed that when I read the book, but I do look forward the snarky AV Club item about the whitening of "American Gods."
