How can Palin not have a black ops team to take this guy out?
Have movies really lied to me that much?

Actually Ringu is, to me, one of the better counter-examples where losing the weird cultural mumbo-jumbo and tightening it up made for a better movie. The ending of Ringu was awful and it really dragged in places. Whereas Insomnia took the framework of a good movie and shaved all of the rough edges off, turning a

Troy Duffy. I mean, who doesn't look at Bieber and think "Squeezer to the dome!"? No one.

Seems like the only reason Lost needed more then three episodes.

Oh, he was a dick and couldn't take even the mildest criticism - that was clear. And he thought he was always the smartest person in the room and expected everyone to not only just know that but be happy to just be around him. A classic brittle asshole. But I dunno - he just seemed like a loser who was doomed to grasp

I just watched it, and while Duffy comes off as a douchebag with delusions of grandeur, he's almost weirdly sympathetic. He's in way over his head, yet gets no help (it's unclear if he'd take any, of course) and then, apparently, Harvey Weinstein tries to run him over in his car. While his stubbornness eventually

Uh, Second Variety was done as Screamers w/ Peter Weller. But yeah, lots of shorts from Dick that could use some enhancement.

Yeah, but if you remove the descriptive adjectives (which you really shouldn't need in a film, since you should be able to see it), aren't Lovecraft's stories all a page and a half long? Tough to fill 80 minutes, man.

Is not being able to pick the title for your "own" book common? I mean, I guess it would explain a lot, but…

But… nested trolling is pretty much as good as internet comments ever get. Well, maybe second to Simpsons quotes, but… hey, this thread has that too!

So this isn't about the SCOTUS judge everyone has a hard time remembering?
And isn't "What do you call a quadriplegic skydiver?" one of those jokes that was just hilarious when you were 12? Alioto is not the answer!

Or maybe passion only goes so far and can't compensate for a lack of actual heavy lifting needed to make a good game. And not only that, there's a point when you get so fixated on what you like about a project you can't realize that it's become so focused that it'll appeal to maybe five other people on Earth. Too many

What I loved was in the rabbit scene, you here it hit the ground with a thump (and nothing else). At the time, it seemed pretty amazing a TV show like this would show someone (absurdly) and-and-out kill a bunny without some kind of uplifting caveat.

One of the biggest themes of the movie is seeing and believing what we want to, rather than what is "there". The dreamer's brain filling in the details as they want them, Mal wanting a different reality to live in (and thus wanting to leave the real "fake" one, assuming we can believe anything her avatar says), Fisher

Hansel?

Man I miss the 70s
The high water mark of American… no, *all* human civilization. It's been all downhill since since.

Her actual appearance and my mental idea of her both strangely remind me of Empire-era Carrie Fisher. But they don't so much resemble each other, which is very odd.

So when it starts to wobble at the very last second, is that simply the last shadow of a doubt on his end?

Sal Mineo for Viceroy!

The Prophecy with Walken and Viggo and that one guy who was an angel and died early on who sort of looked like Terry Gilliam and I think Amanda Plummer? That wasn't very good either, but at least it was first and we got one of those "Satan is more an exasperated rubbernecker" moments that people always love.
