This write-up actually made me appreciate the movie a great deal more than I previously did. I don't actually *like* it, as I find the main character so unappealing and yet the movie clearly posits him as a hero who undergoes no meaningful changes whatsoever and still triumphs in the end. But I always did understand…

Three Amigos felt like the best-ever SNL skit stretched to movie form, yet (unlike Blues Brothers) never actually becoming a *movie*. It was amusing and fine as light entertainment, but a few quick gags aside, awfully inconsequential.

So… is this better than, say, an all-prostitute movie of MacBeth would (likely) be?

This one seemed like it could've been a decent movie if they'd not made it a Star Trek movie. The Borg queen was the final dagger in the back of a decent sci-fi (as in, not reskinned fantasy) enemy, the time travel stuff raised too many ignored obvious questions, the send-Picard-away was illogical and hackneyed and…

Have opposing viewpoints? Fine. I'm sure lots of actors vote for people and things I wouldn't support in a billion years. But wear those opinions on their sleeves? That's another issue altogether and I have no problem eschewing their output.

So we can't judge people on the cars they drive anymore? Thanks for nothing, Obama!

He's such a scamp. He's like that guy who lost an argument three parties ago, and you can tell he spends at least an hour a week working on some new angle to prove that even if he isn't specifically "right" he isn't entirely wrong either. He's never wrong (even when, especially when, he is)! And then everyone else who…

I agree. The one in Seattle always seemed arbitrarily-organized, and changed frequently so I was never sure where to look for things. At times they had a decent selection of music and video - but always at high prices. I didn't hate it at all, but it never really felt like it was trying to earn my dollar - just kinda…

I remembered when I realized that Batman Forever was going to suck - the family of acrobats kept the "Flying Graysons" as their moniker. Presumably that works on paper, but in a movie, the name was so clumsy, awkward and poorly enunciated you knew you were in Idiot World (and of course the rest of the movie soon…

Yeah - I remember watching some video collections where, presumably for rights purposes, the videos had been left out. What remained grew tiresome quickly.

In the abstract - people die, are unwilling to let go of the trappings of the past holding their ghosts to earth, so they try various means to keep what was "theirs" only to eventually find a kind of peace with their fate. Like (*SPOILERS*) The Others, only it sucked. Not the worst story idea, but it felt (to me -…

Since pop-culture time travel is effectively magic (since Earth was in a much different part of space a millions of years ago, why wouldn't travelers just wind up in empty space?), just say it's a new timeline so what they do back then doesn't retroactively affect their initial one. As long as "a wizard did it" is the…

Like which ones, exactly? I know there are a lot of well-loved shows that made it one season (or, say, one abbreviated season as they were a mid-season replacement), but what, well, *good* show got canned after 2-3 episodes?

Does it have pre-steroids Carrot Top in it? Because that would really make the scene.

They ripped the ending off from Godzilla vs Monster Zero, which annoyed me. Not so much as slumming stars mugging, faux-retro vibe or the pointlessness of every character. The entire thing was a middle-schooler's "Man, you know what would be cool?!?; the fat middle school guy who can never figure out why the other…

I agree - I found it actively bad. It wasn't scary, it wasn't particularly funny, the stop-motion stuff seemed more like creator nostalgia than any added value and the story seemed pretty stock. It felt like someone's high school project inexplicably given a Hollywood budget and actual actors.

White people - they're so cute when they think their found profundity dovetails with their lack of self-esteem.

Watched Beast With a Gun, from the sleazy 70s Italian gangster section of Netflix's streaming section. It was horribly dubbed, but really came through with that 70s unwashed, sweaty, not-porno-but-you-can-kinda-see-it-from-here sleaze, which was nice. And the X-Files live chat, which was fun.

The world is full of covered boobs - and in 3D! For free! Walk down any street! If I'm paying money to wear those damned glasses, I want some perky aerolas, damn it, and I'm not gonna apologize.

Saw the same thing. Would anyone not enjoy Justin Long being shot out of an airlock?
