One of the highlights of my film nerd experiences was getting to meet him and tell him that Walker is one of my favorite movies ever. He smiled super-wide and replied, "Mine, too!"

That Alex Cox Kickstarter is like the bright, shining beacon of hope that's going to get me through the onslaught of Braff-ian money grubs. He's making the movie with the kids in his production class at CU, he's also going to pull in some of his professional VFX buddies to help consult/teach them (like the folks at…

See, I came here hoping to see "The Exchange" on the list, but if I had, I wouldn't have had anything to say but, "Nice list, Noel!"

Damn, Kickstarter. You used to be cool.

I suppose their releasing a new album and coming within striking distance of my home within the same 12-month period would be asking too much. Thanks, Godspeed, for teaching me to manage my expectations once again.

Critical acclaim. Metric fucktons of money. One of these two continues to elude director Todd Phillips. But not this year, not after Bruno Ganz, Christoph Waltz, and Werner Herzog find themselves far from home, without a clue as to how they got there, and missing their plane tickets in… Der Kater.

That's just the way Monkeybrain rolls. If I may, I'd suggest "The Stars Below" as a good, affordable purchase for anybody who likes their heartstrings plucked a little. We can't all be snide and derisive all the time, right?

If you ever got into a fight with your significant other over seeing this movie, we should talk some time about how glad we are to no longer be with those jackasses. Unless you were against seeing the movie. Then, I may have a new best friend for you.

You could say a lot of negative stuff about the music contained inside of it, but I rather like the cover of the first Audioslave album.

The audience sees… what Brian Wilson sees, and only that.

@EvelKareebel:disqus American International Pictures. Low-budget, teen-targeted, double feature (usually). Samuel Arkoff, Roger Corman, and Vincent Price were major players.

I bet Jack Hawksmoor would read that stuff by the truckload.

The Adventures of Bren Derlin. Ratzenberger's way cheaper than a good Frank Oz impersonator, or even Oz himself.

It's unlikely that makes them a statistically significantly greater amount of money, so I'm not too concerned about that. Now, if they give Star Wars power of attorney over me…

@avclub-5ad0d54163b227a02d91a3d3717ad649:disqus I want to find the universe where Daniel Day-Lewis loses a bet and has to play Anakin in the prequels, just to see what he does with that horrendous dialogue.

"Rockstar Energy Drink presents: DISCUSSIONS SO EXTREME THAT THEY LOOPED AROUND ON THEMSELVES AND BECAME REASONABLE AGAIN! WE JUST BLEW YOUR MIND, DIDN'T WE, BRO?!"

I wrote those scripts in high school. There was a lightsaber fight atop a flying CEC YT-1300, where Obi-Wan was trying to blast the Darth Maul clone from the gun turret while Qui-Gon did a ton of crazy Matrix shit.

Brannon "Rick" Braga.

@avclub-5bc6960dad8ab0694bb4d6ff884b0c1e:disqus Just and only, which is kind of a minor miracle, given… that movie.
