Me and all my friends watched it due to the "so we can say we've seent it" effect, and even the one that hated DiCaprio so much he had elaborate murder fantasies liked it if just for the spectacle (and in my case David Warner). That said, I can't watch it without the Rifftrax now, one of their best.

Didn't read the novel, but the movie was okay enough to make me follow the rest of the series when it hits Redbox or Netflix.

When I saw that it gets "cash register impulse buy" treatment at Wal-Mart (first time I've ever seen a TV show get that treatment) that made decide to wave the white flag at him.

I remember when my nieces stayed at my grandparents when I stayed a summer with them and I had to hook up a really old TV in another room so we could watch it (on the Fox block a local ABC showed before the town got it's own affiliate, that's how long ago this was). This was because my grandfather ruled the TV with an…

@Girard Funny you say that, said best friend was proud to have never seen any Star Wars other than Phantom Menace, and that was just because her boss gave her opening night tickets he couldn't use and she knew I wanted to see it. That only changed when she compromised with another friend that she'd watch A New Hope if…

@avclub-40e90db13ab31c7efd64228034182c2e:disqus My best friend dated a guy who didn't like it or MST3K. Latter, despite being insanely adored by me and part of why we became friends), I can understand. But with Simpsons I was like "Really, not even the undeniably classic seasons?" First warning sign he was a rebound,…

Yeah, I liked the movie - though reading about Brookes butting in in Unauthorized History has left me wondering "what could have been" - and used to be a big apologist, then stopped caring, and couch gags like Breaking Bad are threatening to make me into a hater.

Saw and all the torture movies are my limit. Ditto Human Centipede (it's even hard to watch the South Park parody). My tolerance for gore's lessened since my teenage years, but it's still far from a deal-breaker (otherwise I'd have never hit every Redbox I saw till I found a copy of V/H/S), but torture, I'll pass.

As with so many things they do Fox screwed the pooch when they bought it from Robertson which calls for it to always have Family in the channel name and to always air the 700 Club. ABC wanted to change it to XYZ but Robertson used this clause to stop that.

Guess the Master took some time out while chasing the Doctor back on Y2K to indulge himself in some fuzzy carnage.

Stolen Earth's another example where the idea and the character reactions/actor performances do a better job selling them than the Daleks themselves, particularly Jack & Sarah Jane's "We are so screwed" reactions at that "EXTERMIANTE!" message.

EL-E-VATE!

If it's Hatred doing unspeakable things to the Moppets like FLAGGED BECAUSE THINGS ARE UNSPEAKABLE FOR A REASON

I don't despise it, just don't care, so can I at least get half my opinion out before I'm shut down?

John Smith. No, wait! Jon Smythe.

I watched Behar's HLN show till she dismissed Lion King as "just a cartoon" when Whoopi listed it as one of her best roles. The look on Whoopi's face said "Be glad we're co-workers". Not that stopping watching mattered, it was her last week.

Please tell me that's a quote.

There was a Disney one called So Random, the episode I saw had two amusing- funny sketches: a twist on the improv game "Oh Here Comes Johnny Now" (that's what it was named on Whose Line, at least), and Volde-Mart, with He Who Must Not Be Named managing a store.

Yeah, a lot of the details of the original novel break down due to Fridge Logic. But it's the best take on a worldwide zombie war we have now, and I still hope it's the stepping stone to an even better story by someone else that accounts for those mistakes.

Can't agree with "scares the crap", but it is visceral and interesting. I'll give it a chance and hope it does well enough to lead to a more faithful TV adaptation. Hey, it happened with Buffy, lighting strikes twice sometimes.
