This doesnt seem so surprising.  Ive found the bible to be the perfect solution for pounding on your nuts while you make your way to ecstasy.  The combination of the leather bound exterior and the soft and creamy scripture on the inside is a kinder, gentler solution to using a rubber mallet.

Also lemme throw out a question in the spirit of Ask the AV club about a show from the late 70s that was short run but for some reason just lingers in my mind and I cant seem to shake it.  I remember it was kinda a behind the scenes show that had a few segments like one where they interviewed Rick Baker and showed him…

OK the one show that really kinda gave me feelings of fascination and horror and  I could barely look away was Letter People.  There was something disturbing about those damn puppets.  But I guess you cold say that about a lot of those PBS kid shows from the 70s and 80s.  With the debut of Sesame Street there followed…

@Yuri Petrovitch
What exactly do you mean by "we had to do something?" Are you a former Trek player incognito and trolling the AVCLub boards? Cmon. give it up- admit it.  Theres no shame in trolling around here!

I can see something akin to Waterworld, in a chase sequence in which Da Vinci confronts some type of mounted assault from would-be assassins on some complex open carriage contraption, but unlike Costner on his catamaran whos all wet and covered in leather, Da Vinci's in sandals, his long white beard and robe flapping…

Khan- Kirks most notorious villain?  Fuck no!  This movie needs the return of Kirks most nefarious and incomparable foe the GORN!  Complete with hand to hand combat at Vasquez Rocks!

Yeah, before I looked at the pics I thought it was gonna be something kinda artsy, maybe with some kinda backdrop and the girl made up with perhaps the horses blood even deliberately and artistically swirled on her body or something.  Those pics totally look like they were just messing around with a horse carcass,…

Id seen this as a kid and appreciated it for that fact that I had enjoyed the original Popeye cartoons and it was silly and fantastical and all the other reasons a kid might like it. It was showing in HD a few months back and I decided to watch it again after decades with the critical eye of an adult and the knowledge…

The REAL tragedy that no one talks about is that if this gets made, you know that the role of Axel Jr. will go to no one other than Nick Cannon.  And thats a reality I can NEVER accept!

The thing that I find inconsistent throughout the Indy saga is that this character arc takes place every single movie.  He sets out on every adventure looking for some relic in total secular mode- never believing in the supposed true power of whatever he's looking for.  Its either for the museum or "fortune and…

Every body knows that the legs stop SOMEWHERE! Why, they stop at that famous eatery the Lunch Pail. Where've YOU been?

She makes my Happy into Sneezy, after which Im aaaaaalll Sleepy…

When the FUCK are you fuckers gonna finally realize that Paul is dead?  Dead, I tells ya!!

Now that I think of it, it WAS the 70s!  It actually mightve been  "OK, we got a thin concept with a bad script, Ninjas by the truckload,
sloppy fight sequences with absolutely no choreographers, a soundtrack
of porno music and Burt Young…
I SMELL OSCAR!!!"

Peckinpahs Killer Elite is worth seeing, if only for a few laughs.  Its almost as if he got so mired in coke and alcohol use he got to the set and said "OK, we got a thin concept with a bad script, Ninjas by the truckload, sloppy fight sequences with absolutely no choreographers, a soundtrack of porno music and Burt…

Just because Will I Am tweets "the @bep will never die" doesnt mean we cant make it happen…

The USPS will go a long way toward remaining solvent if they go to 5 days.  That however may only be a stopgap measure to insure theyre around for like 5-7 years.  Long term, the prognosis might be much more grim.

Yeah I just looked it up, not having known about it before, but it seems that by the time Schulz was forced to retire, he had already been diagnosed with Parkinson's, which now explains a lot.

I was a big fan of Peanuts as a kid, especially after being able to appreciate the golden years of the strip in compendiums.  But to say that Peanuts didnt wane or become a suggestion of its former self in the the later years is being too generous.  Not only had it lost a lot of its bite and anything it had in the way…

Hey, cops are the best customers!  Until they NEED to arrest you to fill some quota.
